 Yesterday I learned everything to look for on the labels on our foods.  Actually I had already been taught the Sodium, Potassium, Fat, Saturated Fat, Sugars.  During my Diabetic Counseling I was taught about the little devils Carbohydrates….MY FAVORITE…those bad boys are really going to challenge me.  :(

I did learn one nice thing about carbs/fibers.  Look at your label…lets say its 20 carbs per serving.  Now look at the fiber.  It says 5 carbs fiber per serving.  You then subtract 5 from 20 and your total carb for that selection is 15…Hows that!! LOL!! Works for me.

So I left all bundled up with papers, booklets….goal planners (I love all those little tools) and I’ve researched some on the internet.

Believe it or not the scale went down again.  I think it must be the walking.  We went Sunday, missed Monday, I walked at home Tuesday and already today.  I’m really aiming to walk once a day whether its the YMCA or here at home!!!

Its official….last night after a long emotional hunt for the cheapest tickets to go to DisneyWorld in October, we found some and are reserved.

We’ll leave Oct 5 at  7:00 a.m and arrive in Orlando at 11:30.  Coming home Oct 10 we leave at 1:30 and arrive home at 6:00 p.m.  Not bad, a little steep for the price but this will probably be the one and only time we go…in less we win the lottery!!! LOL!!! yeah right!!

Maybe this is the time to really get it done.  I’ve had enough wake up calls, and I’ve prayed religiously for help in this battle.  Today I’m feeling strong and determined.  Food will no longer be priority.  I’ll focus more on “how to eat the right foods”  I have so much information now and there is no excuse not to make the changes necessary. So ready?????????? Set???????????? I’m Going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alphabet Soup for the Soul:

Letter Y:  Yield:  Faith means yielding yourself to God because he knows what is ultimately best. Here is a good prayer for yielding, weritten by the Rev. Dr. Robert H. Schuller; “Lord, give me the guidance to know when to hold on and when to let go, and the grace to make the right decision with dignity.”

The moment you discover that there is power available to help you . . . you will see boundless opportunities to discover God’s plan for . . . complete victory.
