Last night I arrived home to a letter from the local church.
It started talking about the power of prayer, and how the members of the church have found it to be helpful to them, and to others. They enclosed a prayer card and requested that I write on it anything I would like them to pray for.
So I’ve written:
‘I would like you to pray for all the people who think blind faith is a virtue.’
I hope I’m there to hand it to them personally, rather than them collect it from outside my door.
In the same situation, what would you write? If it’s good, I’ll print out more cards and give them a few :)
My improved diet has been in place for a couple of weeks now, and I’m not finding to too hard to adhere to.
The cravings for sweets and crisps have almost gone, and I’m snacking on fruit and nuts during the day.
Lunch tends to be some sort of sandwich, while dinner is generally a hot meal. I’m starting to freeze meals too, so I don’t need to cook every night; for example, I cooked 500g spaghetti on Monday, and froze three portions. That’s along with a spanish chicken w/rice dish on Sunday, so unless I want to, I’ve no need to cook for the rest of the week, which is a bonus.
Yesterday though I found I was insatiable – wanting to eat all day (but healthy stuff), and it seems to be continuing today – my stomach is aching. I may need to increase my portions slightly to counter this if it doesn’t resolve of its own accord.
But this morning, I’d dropped below 71kg for the first time in years. The exercise and adjusted diet must be doing me good.
