Exercise: x
0?-5 at 8am
cereal
Note: I'm not sure if I was hungry or not...but I was certainly low on energy, which I figured may have reflected that I was indeed hungry. And I definitely felt better and filled with more energy afterwards, so I think it was the right call. Just not my usual symptoms.
0-5 at 1:15pm (rumbling by 12:30)
1 pc toast with pbutter/jam, 1 orange
1-6 at 5:30pm
pc farmer sausage, 1 small baked potato (w/ sour cream, cheese), peas, apple pie w/ whip cream and some pudding (the pudding didn't work with the pie though:-)
Purpose of this Log
1. To help hold me accountable to myself and to the Lord. It helps me be more intentional and apply observation and correction more effectively.
2. To be transparent to others that they may also hold me to account and help sharpen me (GENTLY PLEASE) as they feel led by the Lord.
3. As I proceed prayerfully and intentionally, under the canopy of God's grace applying observation and correction along the way, my hope is that others can also learn a thing or two from my failings...make that "learnings"...and also from my victories in the Lord.

In a Nutshell
I am following an approach to eating that is outlined in the "Thin Within" book by Judy and Arthur Halliday. I am not focussing on measuring or weighing foods or labelling foods as "good" or "bad" but rather aiming to eat when I'm hungry ("0") and stop when I'm satisfied ("5"), focussing on the keys to conscious eating (listed in the right hand column).
Another central Thin Within (and more importantly biblical) teaching that I aim to use with this food log is observation and correction, living under the canopy of God's grace on the path of God's provision. In a nutshell it's about turning to God and confessing and repenting and the amazing grace and love of God that changes us from the inside out.

Keeping in mind at all times...
The most important aim of my life needs to be to "seek first His kingdom and His righteousness" (Matt. 6:33) and sit at my Lord's feet, feasting at the Lord's table (Ps. 23:5), getting "fat on Jesus," filling up on His Word and finding true satisfaction that can be found in Him alone. The Lord's Table study brought this into proper focus for me.
"Everything is permissible for me"—but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible for me"—but I will not be mastered by anything. 1 Corinthians 6:12
"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31

yA,,your right about the puddin,,LOL...
hahah! I was trying to find a substitute for ice cream with the pie... And I thought the pudding may be kind of like butterscotch ice cream with the apple pie... Not so. It didn't work. The whip cream was okay though:-) And the pie was delicious:-)
I just finished praying for you, Angela. Praying for the upcoming MRI and the job situation.
