216
I can't even remember when I was below 218-219. I feel so excited and positive about this journey. I feel God's hands on my arms, walking behind me, walking along beside me. He is with me and I don't want to let him down.
Choosing the foods I want to eat may be a little more difficult with Charlotte here this summer. Yesterday I had a small portion of the lasagna, plus cottage cheese and salad. For supper, I made a tuna melt wrap. Dave had fried potatoes and roast beef. Charlotte ate a little, but doesn't like meat, so I suggested she make a bread/butter sandwich. I'll try to not let it interfere. I am determined to continue making healthy choices, tracking, walking, drinking water. I need to be motivated so my success will carry me into the week in Costa Rica. My goal there: don't eat everything. Small helpings, leave some on my plate if I need to. LOTS of fruits. Water. Walking.
This is 16 pounds down from Jan. 2. Lots more to go, but I know I can make it with my Help.

My weight loss journey is really going well. My heart-felt prayer for help was heard. I felt strong hands on the tops of my arms and someone was behind me, then He moved more beside me to my left, but his hands stayed on my arms. The hands felt warm and strong and gentle and caring. It lasted about 10-12 seconds, but it was real. So now it's up to me to accept this help and do my part to make healthy choices, to track, to maintain a healthy lifestyle. So far, so good. 100% on program. 5 days in a row.
