Made to Crave Update

I'm still reading the book but this week has been so busy and crazy that I'm just trying to keep up with my normal things like raising Rex and cleaning and cooking that I have not been able to actually read it this week. I'm hoping that I will have some down time tomorrow. I have however been actually reading the Bible and even my Bible study that I'm currently doing with my mom's group so I have been reading. 

With most of the things I have written I'm going pretty well with. I have been praying most times I craving and only given into temptation about 2 maybe 3 times which is good for me. I have been staying off the scale as much as possible but I can say this I have been dropped about 2 pounds and I'm fluctuating another 2. I'm not letting the number discourage me though because I'm using this time to get closer with God not to get thinner (although if that happens that will be great). 

I did notice that the couple times I have given in to temptation that the rest of the day is extra hard and I have pray more and actually feel like I'm denying myself things. It's hard but it makes me realize that it's easier to just stick to what I'm doing than struggle the rest of the day. 

I do have my Craving? How 'bout Praying? post-its on me pantry, freezer and in my fridge. It is helping to be reminded about what I need to do if I'm heading there and I'm not needing to eat. 

I have also made sure to load up my fridge with plenty of good stuff to eat and things that can be easily cut up to snack on. The plus side to eating more fruits and veggies as snacks is that Rex is eating them too! Doing this is helping influence Rex to make healthier choices. The other night  I was making a pasta salad for dinner at my parents and I was cutting up all the veggies and Rex was "helping" me by making sure they all tasted good. Then he saw a red bell pepper and he freaked out and started saying "I want red bell pepper. Red bell pepper." It was so cute except for the whiny tone he had. He didn't want to eat anything else until I cut up that red bell pepper and then he was fine and started eating other veggies again. Love it!

The Sprite is not mine. That is the hubs and I'm hoping that my eating habits will impact him as well as I get better at it! 

What do you do to make sure you are eating what you are suppose to? Do you pray when your having cravings? Do you buy food that is going to help you or hinder you?

I can't wait to see all of your holiday traditions & I'm sure add a few to my list too! Holiday Traditions? What are those? I'm not sure we have any set up in our family. We never really had anything that we did every year growing up either. So I'm not surprised that we haven't thought about setting anything up for our kids either.

I'm taking the challenge!

I'm taking the challenge and I'm going to talk about the subject many people hush about! SEX!  Normally this would be completely outside my comfort zone (truthfully not sure I will post this as I'm typing) but I figure why not?!?  Being married makes it OK to talk about! We get so much from media that maybe it's about time that more people talk about the appropriated subjects of Sex!  First, let me start off by saying I did not wait until I was married. Looking back I wish I did because I have baggage, my hubby has baggage, and truthfully this subject has been the main topic of the majority of our fights for the past 5 years.  Just recently I started caring more about what I was wearing to bed just like  Mrs. T, Naturally  is talking about.  I'm sure must men would love it if their wives went to bed wearing something like this ------------------>  (I know my hubby would) however when you have little ones around (a...
