Made to Crave Chapter 3

So today is going pretty good. I'm making healthy choice and have been praying a bunch today for other reasons than just food. I'm excited that it has been somewhat easy and after reading chapter 3 I have a renewed sense that this will not happen without work and that it will take some time to see the results but I'm going to do my best to keep up with it. 


In this chapter Lysa talks about having a eating plan. Most of the things that I plan fall apart. Anytime I plan a house cleaning overhaul something always seems to come up and get in the way. I have noticed that there is one area that a plan has worked very well for me in the past and that is meal planning. Normally I just plan dinners but I'm thinking that I'm going to start planning a healthy breakfast and lunch for my family and myself as well. This way the food that is in the house will be healthy. I have also decided that my plan is going to include God made food instead of man made. God makes good things for me to put in my body where man's food is the opposite. I'm going to do as many meats, veggies, and fruits as possible. I know that I won't be able to only these but I will include limited other things like tortillas for roll ups for lunch or a small amount of pasta to go along with homemade, veggie filled tomato sauce. I know that I can make this work because I have done it before.  


So with that I'm going to start making up my sticky notes that I talked about yesterday and look for recipes and food ideas to start my meal planning because tomorrow is grocery shopping day!

The League of Incredible Vegetables: Movie Review

Picture borrowed from  Christian Film Database Another movie review! I was so thrilled when I was walking through Best Buy before Christmas and saw this  DVD sitting on the shelf. If you are a boy mom like myself you know that they love super heroes. I struggle to find age appropriated super hero movies for Monkey to watch. He loves Spiderman, Batman, Iron Man, ect. and he has not seen any of the movies/shows that go along with them. Wait...he did watch The Avengers with Daddy one day while I was out. I haven't seen that one so I can't say what I think of it for a 3 year old. Anyway, I love Veggie Tale movies! I think that they do a good job of teaching lessons to kids in a way that they understand and I love the lessons they teach! This one is great because it is about fear and how if you trust God fear can't freeze you. If you have kids, especially boys this movie is great! It helps them get the superheros they want to watch without the bad guys th...

Y3W: I'm Not Perfect

I'm not perfect. I think you already know that as no one is perfect on this earth even though sometimes people can look like it on the outside. I do post many things about the good things going on in my life because I would rather talk about those then dread on the bad or negative things. However today I'm going to make sure you know that I'm not perfect by a long shot. Since about last Wednesday (so over a week now)I have been struggling. I haven't been doing great in my alone time in the Word, I haven't been praying like I was, I'm craving foods that I shouldn't and eating them instead of praying about it and have gained a few pounds back, I'm not doing great on the house work and I'm struggling in making the right decisions in my parenting as Monkey is entering into this new independent/I'm not listening stage. I know what has caused this struggle and I have been working on it but I have been doing alone and not letting God help me through...
