"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own" 1 Cor. 6:19
Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things. Phil 3:19

Managed to say no to my favorite gelato -- I don't always say now (I do have a treat now and then), but I wasn't hungry and have been trying to stop eating just for the sake of eating.

Taco Bell messed up my order last night, instead of a Fresco Style bean burrito they made it with cheese and that salty, fatty sauce. Instead of eating it anyway I put it in the garbage disposal (aka my boyfriend) and made myself a salad :)

On Sunday I was about to walk out the door to get fast food for dinner when I thought "what am I doing" and turned around and made something. Also I actually got up before work yesterday morning and went for a jog.

Lots of little victories today! -I went for a jog today! First time I have done that in about 6 years. :D -I was able to find motivation for my workout today, even though it's "my time of the month" and all I wanted to do was lay on the couch, watching tv and snuggling with my cat. -After I finally put my sneakers on and started jogging, I felt great! :D - This is a strange victory, but I made a list of things I want to talk to the doctor about when I go see them. I will be going to a new gynecologist in about a month, and I don't usually enjoy doctors visits because I usually feel powerless, but I researched what I want to talk about and I know what I want. It's very empowering. Anyway, yay! I'm glad that everyone is doing well and that we are all seeing the positives in our lives!

My issue when buying pants/shorts/skirts is that I have a smaller waist but bigger hips/thighs. So everything is tight through the thigh and butt but then my waist band is often too big. For workout shorts I tend to rely on my running shorts that fit snug because I don't feel comfortable in athletic shorts that are tight...low intro...but.... I do have one cute pair of shorts from lululemon that have a little ruffle and are more trendy with a wider leg. They have always been tight across my butt - and when wearing them to volleyball I was always adjusting them. WELL I wore them over the weekend and they are noticeably looser! I was just moving around and realized I'm not playing with them as much. Little victory but HUGE boost in spirits!
