Updated feelings about What I specifically Prayed for

 I prayed this prayer and I have honestly done an okay job. Of course I am not perfect, but I know I am better. I can see that I am physically losing the weight and it feels good to know that I am getting there. Slowly but surely. One day at a time. One step at a time. 

God, I thank you for keeping me and helping me to keep my promise to you. I can see that I can do this. With you all things are possible. So even when I want to give up I pray that I can remember that I can get up at any point and keep going. I fail only if I give up! No more giving up. NO MORE QUITTING! and giving up on myself. God, I thank you for your continued grace. I mean, I have really been eating crazy for years! Years!!  I guess a pescatarian... I mainly am eating fish like salmon, tuna, tilapia and shrimp. I made some salmon yesterday for the first time on my own and I don't know why it tasted the way that it did. I seasoned it like my mom does and even put a little butter with it. I think I will make sure that I cook it when the salmon is thawed, instead of frozen. I had it with a side of green beans. I didn't even cook them, they tasted good just like that. LOL. My pallet is changing. I have to make sure that I tell my aunt. I like bell peppers now.... and I want to eat them with pretty much every meal lol. I am also not snacking all day anymore. I am finding it easier to just eat a meal, and actually move on with the day. I am not saying that I am successful everyday with this, but it is getting better. 

OH, MY GOODNESS! Before I forget, I needed to say that the Chobani sugar free yogurt with sliced apples and a 1/4th cup of cashews as a snack is the bomb! LOL. 

I have started making that as a snack, but I want to try and freeze it and make a yogurt bark out of it. I think it will be so good. I want to be honest and mention that I have chicken thighs and ground turkey in the freezer as well as some lunch meat. but my go to has been fish. 

I am cooking more often, and I am trying to master how to make my shrimp pesto pasta. I also want to try and make it with chicken as well. But, while in the kitchen I discovered BUTTER SAUCE...Man, we gotta go easy on that stuff. Cut back on the butter consumption. Stay as close to the earth as possible. But I am glad to also say that I have not had sodas, sugary juices, teas, coffee, and things like that. I am sticking mainly to water. I don't want to toot my own horn too much, but I am liking the cooking, just not the dishes after lol. 

All in all, the prayer and the work are being done. I am living the prayer out daily. I thank God for another day. Debating on going for a walk- because I do not have a phone at the moment, and I also have an earbud going in and out, and I also have no hot water in the apartment. LOL. GOD IS STILL GOOD. I will not complain. We are staying right on schedule, and we will continue the good work of progressing in JESUS NAME. No bad news here, just experiences that I need to get under my belt that God says I must learn or go through. Hey! We are here and alive! We better start acting like it. 

Oh and....I am already ahead of trying to get summer together and my move out. We will see how all things go. And I am happy that things are this way. We are free to do what GOD asks of us, with a glad heart.
