The journey begins

Today has been a hard day. I began my new diet/lifestyle change. I felt like I ate like a rabbit today. I say that because I feel like I didn't eat much of anything however I know in comparison to most of the world I ate like a king. Isn't it amazing the simple things that we take for granted everyday like food. Who would of thought I was so selfish about food until today? I should be thankful that I was able to eat 3 meals and 2 snacks today. But instead it was hard to not focus on the fact that I ate so little in comparison to normal. Shame on me for being so selfish instead of being so thankful. Thank you Jesus for making see today how blessed I am to be an American and to be able to have an option of what food I eat and how many meals I eat each and every day. I will continue to work on being thankful and not selfish.

I also exercised today. I walked 2 miles today. I didn't want to do it at all. I made the excuse that it was too hot outside to walk. But thankfully my good friends laughed at me and didn't let it slide! Good for them for encouraging me! It is nice to be surrounded by people who care about me and love me! Off to relax a little before bed and spend some time with my husband! I hope you all have a great night!
