Day 2 of my return to healthy eating

Posted by 2DI4 at 4:16 PM

It is so easy to slack. I am craving that crocodile donut pastry thing from Macey's. The new donut store at the Riverwoods shopping center hasn't impressed me. It is just convenient. The donuts are fresh but they are fresh at any grocery store too. I like Lee's and Shafer's. Actually I need to eat healthy food. I just keep falling into bad habits I need to quit. I asked the girl that works there to give me something different and she gave me a maple bar filled with raspberry cream and a chocolate bar filled with bavarian cream. They were both fresh and good but I don't need to eat them right now.

When Krispy Creme first opened in Utah I'd drive half an hour just to buy a box. Eventually I got sick of them and now I don't need them ALL the time. I had a chocolate protein shake this morning followed by celery with almond butter. That stuff lasts FOREVER and it is fresh and yummy. Next for lunch I heated up some Chunky's Chicken noodle soup I took from my mother's house. I threw in a handful of spinach with it. I also fried some spam in shoyu and stevia. I just finished the last piece.

I'm drinking water right now. I haaate these cravings. Sugar is so addictive. I shouldn't have indulged as much as I did during ULA. Now it's tough for me to get back on track. I know it'll only last a couple of days but STILL. This is Thursday and I didn't walk to work ANY day this week. I just have to keep trying. I wish it wasn't so difficult.

26 And now, my beloved brethren, I would that ye should acomeunto Christ, who is the Holy One of Israel, and partake of his salvation, and the power of his redemption. Yea, come unto him, and boffer your whole souls as an coffering unto him, and continue in dfasting and praying, and endure to the end; and as the Lord liveth ye will be saved.

Grateful in Any Circumstances - Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Sooner or later, I believe that all of us experience times when the very fabric of our world tears at the seams, leaving us feeling alone, frustrated, and adrift.
It can happen to anyone. No one is immune.
Everyone’s situation is different, and the details of each life are unique. Nevertheless, I have learned that there is something that would take away the bitterness that may come into our lives. There is one thing we can do to make life sweeter, more joyful, even glorious.
We can be grateful!
But those who set aside the bottle of bitterness and lift instead the goblet of gratitudecan find a purifying drink of healing, peace, and understanding.
Could I suggest that we see gratitude as a disposition, a way of life that stands independent of our current situation? In other words, I’m suggesting that instead of being thankful for things, we focus on being thankful in our circumstances—whatever they may be.
We can choose to be grateful, no matter what.
This type of gratitude transcends whatever is happening around us. It surpasses disappointment, discouragement, and despair. It blooms just as beautifully in the icy landscape of winter as it does in the pleasant warmth of summer.
True gratitude is an expression of hope and testimony. It comes from acknowledging that we do not always understand the trials of life but trusting that one day we will.
This talk is so true. I feel like I complain a lot but even as I do this I am reminded often of how incredibly blessed I am. I don't know what it's going to take for me to have the money to start my real estate career. Heavenly Father helped me get my license. I have to turn all my energy to becoming financially and physically amazing.
