Day 7....

Last night was definately a challenge, and although I did have some snacks they were all paleo approved.  Some berries and cashews, and even some celery made up my snacks for the evening, while shrimp and cashews made up my dinner, YUM.  I stayed away from all of the awesome brownies pies and candy bar brownies that were there.  It was tough but not as bad as i thought.  I decided that I wanted to see what would happen if I ate fruit over the weekend since the weekend is a struggle for me, so im using fruit as something to curve my sweet tooth over the weekend.  I plan on eliminating that as well the longer I am on the plan, this was the first weekend and was tough.  No weight to update you on since I am not weighing in over the weekend, but will have an update for everyone on Monday night.  Today has been kind of tough  but not too bad.  You see typically on Sunday my wife and I go up to my mom and dads after church.  My mom and dad have pop tarts and all sorts of other goodie that I usually endulge in.  Well today all that stuff is a no go, and so far so good.  Tonight we have bible study and there is always some type of snack there that I will not be eating. 
            I am really hoping that some of what im doing is going to help others.  When I started this a week ago I have to say that it was completely selfish.  However, Iknow that my wife, my kids and the rest of my family will see a change in me, not just physical but also spiritual.  I am not just losing weight so that I can "look good naked".  Im coming to grips more with the idea that if I am fat and out of shape I am not taking care of what God gave me.  I need to be healthy for me, for my family, and most importantly God.  Please if you are struggling with weight loss,  make it a priority and stop being lazy and start making a difference, in yourself, and in those around you.
