Daily Log for 9/24/07

I had a lovely time this weekend. I really want to go back next year, but I really don't want to go through the drive again. It was too long. I didn't snack this weekend but I did eat sweets at the meals. I also had some icecream for desert a couple nights so I really need to kick back into the new change. I didn't get as much exercise as I have been for the last couple weeks so now I'm feeling the drag that it causes. I can actually feel that my body is crying out for exercise. So I'm going to push myself this next week. I may not be able to get up early enough to go to the 5:30 classes but I will still get up and go to the YMCA. My mom told me that she still went every day, so I'm a little behind with her right now. I'm going to make it up and I'm going to get rid of these old habits for good. Actually, yesterday when we were coming home we stopped at this store in Des Moines and Sarah bought this big piece of chocolate cake. Before I started this lifestyle change I would have eaten that whole piece of dark, rich, chocolate cake but now I looked at it and I felt like if I put one bite of that cake in me that I would throw up. It was just too much chocolate and too much cake. So I'm rather proud of myself. At the conference there was a time when they said that we needed to throw away our "I can't"s so that God can use us. One of my I can'ts is that I can't lose weight and I can't be healthily skinny. So all my "I can't"s are buried and burned - they don't exist anymore and I'm going to achieve my goals that I've set for myself. I'm very excited and I really can't wait to see how God's going to use me at the end of this. See ya!
