Day 10 and 11

                                   Health Advice #26  Fruit IS fast food. 



I have been craving coffee the last couple of days something awful.  I realized I have missed my hot lemon water the last few days.  I am going to make sure to make that in the morning.  I know that will help. 

Here are yesterdays and todays stats.



1.  Read the Daily Proclamation aloud each morning and night. done- Really trying to slow down in the morning and read every word. Done  It is becoming an easy habit.


 2. Compliment someone each day and say nothing negative about anyone. On day 10 I saw my friend Kim whom I haven't seen in prolly 6 to 8 weeks.  She had lost 22 pounds and she looked amazing.  I was sure to tell her how fabulous she looked! 
On day 11, I had dinner with my son and his fiance.  During our dinner, I was thinking how
Brittany and my son Cory were the perfect match.  She is perfect for him.  After dinner, when I gave her a hug goodbye, I let her know that.  They are getting married in June and I am very excited for them both!

3. Stop eating BEFORE you are full - no problem- Follow the special body cleansing program- I am eating a vegan diet. I am only allowed to steam my food. No cooking on the stove or microwave.   I did well both days with my eating.  I took some pictures but am having problems downloading them to the blog since I got my new phone.  Give me a few days to see if I can figure it out.  I bought some trail mix yesterday that I ate more than I should.  You know how it is, grab one handful then another and before you know it, you've eaten too much.  Yep, I won't do that again.  I will measure it out next time.  We went to Texas Corral tonight and as soon as I walked in the door, my senses were assaulted by fresh bread.  Ahhhh it smelled SO good.  I am allowed peanuts so thank goodness for that.  I kept my mouth and hands busy cracking peanuts open.  I ordered a salad without the croutons and cheese and meat.  The waitress brought me lettuce with onions on it.  That was it.  I asked for the tomatoes that were supposed to be on it.  She did bring me some.  It makes me sad to think that a family restaurant like that would only have lettuce, onions and tomatoes for a salad.  No other vegetables.   I don't understand that.   


4. Do not get angry, curse or complain. Do not gossip about anyone- I am cold.  It's cold in here.  Are those complaints or statements.  It's SO hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!  That's not a complaint, that IS a statement :)


5. Give someone something material each day.- I wasn't going to go into detail about the gifts but I have changed my mind on that. Hey it's my blog, I can change my mind anytime....so anyway....I want to show how easy it is to make someones day with so little! On day 10, I ran into a gal- I did not know her- who obviously had a horrible cold.  I have bought a bunch of little things that I plan on giving away but not really sure to who.  I bought some cute boxes of Kleenex for this very occasion.  I told her I noticed she wasn't feeling well and wanted to give her this box of Kleenex to help.  She wasn't sure what to say and tried not to take them.  She seemed embarrassed but I assured her I wanted to give them to her.  
On day 11, I gave my friend Tammy a jazzercise sweatshirt.  She is always doing her best to promote jazzercise and I notice and appreciate it.  She even made her profile picture on fb, the jazzercise logo for a while.    I appreciate all she does to help out me and my business.  Love her.  

 
 
6. Pray and read scripture for your age in minutes daily.- I pray for 11 minutes in the morning and 11 minutes at night. I also listen to an audio bible for 11 minutes in the morning and 11 at night. I am in Exodus right now in the bible and some of it is so confusing.  I pray that God can give me the wisdom to understand some of it.  This too is becoming such a habit.  I listen to the bible while I get ready in the morning and when I get ready for bed at night.  First we make our habits, then it makes us. 

7. Drink half my weight in ounces of water.- done I have to drink 72 ounces of water. I'm sure I drank close to 100 ounces today.  I was served a 32 ounce mason jar of water at dinner and I decided to make sure I drank the whole thing.  I did, yay me! 


8. If you are doing any of these stop. Stop flirting, having affairs, committing fornication, looking at pornography, or communicating with a person who is not your spouse. Nope


9. Wash my face before bed. This isn't part of the challenge but I made it part. I need to get back into the habit! Done and my I am in love with the way my skin feels.  If you are not washing your face before bed, it is SO important.  Nighttime is the time our skin regenerates.  Our skin is exposed to so much during the day and needs a good cleanse at night.  It's important to take care of the first thing we see when we look in the mirror!
