Ever eat all the junk food and worst things for ya before starting a diet or challenge within yourself to eat and do things differently? Well, that was me yesterday...ice cream, pudding, pizza, cookies! But today, say goodbye to those things for now until I get my body on a better eating schedule.
I started the day with my Spark, ate oatmeal with nuts and fruit from Starbucks, drank my peach fiber drink and took my Omega vitamins. I am on the road to exercising, eating right, and getting rid of all the toxins I have put into my body so that I can feel good again!
You see the Bible reminds us in 1 Corinthians 10:23 & 31 that "Everything is permissible" ----but not everything is beneficial...So whatever you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it for the glory of God.
I'm also reminded as I start my 24 day challenge with Advocare and lifestyle change of a Proverb ~ Whatever you do, do in moderation!" So after my 10 cleanse it's ok to have pizza, something sweet, or whatever we desire as long as its in moderation.
When we take care of our body it does a domino effect to other things within our lives. We eat right and exercise, which then gives us more energy, then we feel better physically and emotionally about ourselves. This trickles down to our daily attitude and how we treat people. We have the energy to do more around the house which makes our spouses happy for sure! We'll desire to get up early to spend time with the Lord rather than roll over because we feel we need that extra hour of sleep. Then actually feel like washing the laundry and putting it up in the same day! Overall this creates happiness within ourselves and the lives of others.
So for now, no more pizza and junk food for me!!! How about you? What simple alteration to you life and/or body can you do today to help yourself feel better? Time with your loved ones, eat something good for you rather than junk? Clean the house? Spend time with our Creator and ask Him for guidance in your life?
