Psalm 34:8

"Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him."

This verse has been helping me in this weight loss quest. Jorge and I have TOTALLY stuck to our healthy eating habits. The worst thing I consumed this week was a stinkin' VITAMIN WATER....I freaked out while as I was drinking this bottle of seemingly healthy H2O my friend, who's husband distributes this water says, "Do you know how much sugar those things have?" HUH??? AGGGGGHHHHH! They tricked me!

Jorge had a professor in Architectural School that lived by the theme, 'less is more.' We have said it jokingly for years but never applied it to our eating habits, I mean that just doesn't even make sense, right? Well, too much is harmful no matter what aspect of your life it is in, apart from our love of the Lord (which spills over into the love of others). We've noticed that we enjoy our food more when we are truly hungry, not just habitually eating at designated times. Our food tastes better. We feel better with less food. We aren't walking around with that bloated feeling. It's working! Less food means more energy, tastier food, more weight loss! So, yes, less is more even in food!

The Lord is really helping me through this. I'm not saying that it's easy. I have to retrain myself but I finally feel like I am getting it under control and respecting His 'temple'.

I love what the tag on the right said today:

Change without conviction is like a race car low on gas. Conviction is the very thing that fuels our plan of action, and makes it a lifestyle change.
