Weekly Tip: Start another habit exchange by exchanging your couch time with a little exercise time at least three days a week. I started out exercising just 10 minutes per session and kept adding time week after week. Now I exercise four times a week for 30 to 40 minutes. Of course you should ask your doctor what exercise is good for you. My good news is that I lost another two pounds this week. Making my total loss 12 pounds now. Don't forget I have been at this since January 11th. Slow but sure! Guess what no one has even noticed my loss but thats okay because God knows what I have lost and what I have gained in Him! Keep going and please post a comment so I know how you are doing. Just click the word comment after this paragraph and post a message.

Bird Brain
I spend my quiet time at our breakfast nook table in the morning. Every once in awhile I glance out the window at a tree in our yard. On that tree hangs a bird feeder. One day as I watched the birds eating it came to my mind that I have never seen an overweight bird. They eat just what they need to keep flying. I got to thinking does that make my brain even less than of a BIRD BRAIN? You see it all comes back to the free will thing. God gives me a free will to eat whatever I want. I need to take a lesson from the birds to only eat what I need. To do what God put me on earth to do. The good news is found in Luke 12: 6 & 7 Sparrows have little value in this world but God is aware of them. He knows when one falls to the ground. We are of more value to Him than a sparrow is. He is very aware of us. He loves us and cares deeply for us that is why He sent his only Son, Jesus to die so that we can live. We need to ask for forgiveness for our bad food choices and start over. So now ladies we need to have a BIRD BRAIN and eat only what we need. More good news is found in Philippians 4:8 I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

Congrats on the 12 pounds. I'm still at 5 for the 2 weeks. I'm sure it will slow down now, but the good thing is I'm now making much better choices. I'm still doing the stairs 2x a day and am up to 5-6 flights each time. Also drinking more water and eating more fruit and vegies for snacks. Thanks for you insight and it is always helpful and reassuring knowing someone is praying for me.
