well this is awkward...

Sooo...ya I haven't been sticking to my diet and have actually gained some weight...which stinks and is awkward since I haven't posted in so long. I got back to school I was really homesick and stressed and I tried to get over it by eating woohoo. That didn't work. So now that I've seen my family a couple of time and am officially embarrassed by how I look, I am going to change my ways. I know the mindset I have to have to overcome this and get back on track, its just a matter of keeping it. So here is the new goal. I am going to try and eat healthy for these last 4 weeks of school and in Sweden (p.s. I'm leading a missions trip to Sweden for 4 weeks). In Sweden it will be super easy to eat healthy since they are feeding us and I will be eating with a lot of people, not just myself. So here I go again. And this time I would like to share some Scripture that is going to be rock throughout this, 1 Corinthians 9:27, "But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway."

here come the hurdles.

Hola mates! So I'm back at school which is absolutely HORRID! I want to be back home, but its all good. I am now on a schedule which is good for me so that is helpful. I have been eating GREAT since I've been here, but still I want to just give up and eat whatever I want...but then...I remember why I'm doing this and what I want to look like in the end and I can do this! No one is going to stop me, not even my emotions. I am a very big emotional eater so when I am sad I will often cave and eat whatever I want and binge away...but NO MORE! I am looking to my Heavenly Father for help at those times. Which speaking of Him, we are doing great! (hehe that sounds funny) But seriously. I have been in the Word everyday and really am going to read the whole Bible in a year! Who says I can't?!?! I can do anything with my head set on right and my Heavenly Father by my side! :) Ta ta for now!

happy new year!

Happy new year everyone! So yesterday I decided that not only am I going to lose weight this year, but I am also going to read the entire Bible, which I am so excited about! I am doing a plan based on youversion.com and its so nice I just love it. But anywho yesterday I also ate pretty good. I had a small breakfast big and late lunch so I just had a clementine for dinner because I wasn't even hungry. Today though I also had a big lunch, but thats ok because I'll just have a small dinner. I hope this keeps up, every time I go to eat the leftover Christmas desserts haunt me lol. I have a huge HUGE sweet tooth, its so bad! But thats ok because I can still satisfy my sweet tooth just with smaller portions. Well thats all I really have right now. Oh I did do my reading both yesterday and today so thats good. Once I complete two weeks I will be happy, thats a big hurdle. Ok well I'm off, but I will check  back in tomorrow or sometime later on this week. :)
