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?

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...
