Today I am going to explain what I do between each 30 Day phase. I break up the challenge into three 30-Day phases and at the end of each phase I have a "cheat" meal. I have a meal of whatever I want, so if I want fried fish, pizza, or whatever, that's what I eat. Sometimes having that "cheat" meal will shock the body and give new energy to the body's weight loss process. This "cheat" meal I had a hamburger, fries and french silk pie- something I haven't had in about 4 months. It tasted great!
Depending how much or what I eat for my "cheat" meal will determine where I start back on my eating plan. I decided to start back on day 1 and cleanse my body of the junk I just put in it. As a result I lost 3.8lbs and 2 inches on my second day 4, pushing me past the plateau I have been on. Perseverance has brought me the blessing!
Today in my devotional it talked about being honest with myself and my issues and how they affect me spiritually, physically and mentally. It also talked about how nothing changes until we make the choice to change. No one can make the choice for us. We have to want it for ourselves and not anyone else. The result will affect all areas of our life! We were made for victory!!
Press on!!

90 Day Challenge Day 30 (a couple days late) - Lost 2.8lbs. and no inches
Ok I apologize for this post delay. I had a sick child that needed my attention and took me out of town for about a week. However I stayed on track and by day 30, I lost 2.8lbs!
For the full 30-Days I lost 5.2lbs and 7.75 inches. I would have liked to have lost more but I am very happy with the progress. In 4 months I have lost 36 lbs.
Today I began my next 30-Days and continue to press forward. In one of my devotion days it talks about how sometimes we think of our food issues as a small thing. But I have come to realize and learn that my food issues affect many areas of my life. When I am eating right and physically feel good then I am happier, my mood is better and I feel better spiritually. Our bodies are temples paid for at a high price and when I put trash in I feel miserable and depressed. But when I am taking care of the temple God gave me, I feel better, act better and my relationship with Him is closer. So I don't see the food issues I have as a "little thing" because they have a major influence in all aspects of my life: physical, emotional and spiritual.
Take care of your body! It is important! I promise it will improve your life and you won't regret it!
Blessings,
Karey

90 Day Challenge Day 25 - 0.2lbs and 1.75" lost
Good Morning! All I can say is every little bit counts!
My body has not been wanting to let go of pounds but I am still losing inches. I know it is discouraging when you hit a plateau and nothing seems to budge. In the past I would have thrown up my hands and said well this is just the way I am suppose to be but I am not going to do that. It will only lead to the scale going up and I don't want that for sure. I must persevere to receive my blessing in this trial!
To help me on this journey I have been reading "Made to Crave Devotional" by Lysa TerKeurst and today was about "Blessings Ahead" and the Thought of the Day was "Between any trial and the blessing that comes from that trial, there is a pathway I must walk - that pathway is perseverance." What a perfect thought for anyone who is in a plateau mode! The only way to receive that blessing at the end is to persevere, push forward to the prize. To do anything else would just be moving backwards to go through the trial even longer.
I love what my devotion said today - "I have finally realized making lasting changes is a process. There are no quick fixes. There will be good days and bad days. But, most importantly, I've realized this isn't as much about losing weight as it is gaining truth - the truth of who I am in Christ and how I am made for more than this constant, self-defeating struggle." Made to Crave Devotional
I encourage you to push through with perseverance and to not allow a plateau to push you backward. The prize is ahead and a blessing you will receive. We were made for more! We were made for victory!
