Packing up to leave - love the beach, but love my city as well.  Listening to the ebb and flow of these waves reminds me of just how fluid our lives are.  Movement is a good thing.   But as I was sharing with someone yesterday, the downward movement of the scales is only ONE of the barometers of our health.  When I wouldn't loose, my clothes would SHOW a loss.  (actually never figured that out, except that the drops help to redistribute the fat)  When the scale would say gain, I would KNOW that I had followed protocol and NOT cheated and that brought a smile of victory to my face.  You know what I am trying to say.

When we choose to walk away from a life style of feeding our flesh whatever and whenever it wants, there will be a fight.   But the Spirit of the Lord within us is stronger than our flesh.  The healthier I get, the more I realize I had totally given in and let my flesh control me.  I was so whacked out.  :(

When you weigh each morning, let me encourage you as you post that to your weight sheets - thank God for his help to turn your life around and get your body to your perfect weight.   No matter what the scale reports - choosing life is the victory journey for us.   NO discouragement - the weight will come off.   I promise.   :)

Loving you from my last look at the ocean - PK
