One of the greatest things about God, in my opinion is that He created us in His image and yet we are all different. Just sit and ponder that for 60 seconds...pretty amazing isn't it? At this moment on the World Population Clock(I didn't know there was such a thing until right now) the current population is...
6,867,959,537
Plus the 6 billion souls that lived before now, that is AMAZING creativity. We are knit together so uniquely and yet God loves us so individually.
So what motivates you? Praise or challenge? Encouragement or discipline? All of these or none of these? Me? I am a praise, encouragement and approval junkie. So, this morning when I got on the scale and saw that I had lost 6 pounds in two weeks of not eating and drinking the way I normally do, well, lets just say I was very motivated to continue my detox. I actually looked at vegan cookbooks at the bookstore and started to read about the continued benefits of eating wheat, dairy, meat and processed food free. I began to count the cost of giving these things up long term.
I don't want to get ahead of myself, which I tend to do, so one day at a time as they say.
We will see what happens when February 1st rolls around and I want to celebrate my 28 day detox with a number two, no onion, extra spread, cut in half with a coke to be eaten in my car.
Ha your so funny girl, I love praise but I can respond to a challenge too!Sometime praise can appeal to my pride and cause me to sit on my laurels, but say a really bed pic of me makes diet and workout immediatly!
ReplyDeleteYes! It all works for me, just give it to me...encouragement!! Great Job with the detox.....careful with coming off of it....could get “uncomfortable” if you hit in n out right off the bat. Think long and hard about being a vegan “lifer”, a weekend at the farm would be virtually impossible! love you
