GCM

Hi!

Sorry for not getting a between GCMs post up.  I did think about it!  (And it's the thought that counts right?)

Let's check them goals!  

1. Improve my relationship and walk with God
• Still working on listening, trusting, and obeying. The whole concept of spiritual warfare is becoming more and more apparent/real to me.  But God has definitely directed my attention to several comforting verses in the past week.  (The ones that struck me the most were Rom. 12:12 and Heb. 11:6.  They were pretty much blatant answers from God about how I need to be patient, pray without ceasing, and have faith.)
• God has also been working on my fear of sharing him with some of my friends, for fear that they'll think I'm "that weird Jesus girl".  Because, in all honesty, it's a matter of life and death.
• I'm on day 107 of my reading plan and still a little behind but catching up.
2. Lose 50-100 lbs healthily
• I'm up 1 lbs from last GCM but the fact that about half my body is swollen doesn't help.  (Had an allergic reaction to something at some point, and woke up swollen and itchy on Sabbath morning.)  I'm not sure when diet lockdown is going to happen, especially with Thanksgiving coming up, but I'm trying to be more conscious of what I'm eating and how much I'm eating.  (I also need to stop baking these delicious cookies...they are ridiculously addictive!)
• Been eating my salads, broccoli, tomatoes, potatoes, pineapple, and apples.  Yummy!  Also, I LOVE eating oatmeal. :)
• Been working on my daily water intake.  I've already had almost 3/4 a gallon today and it's not even 4 pm!  (This is abnormal for me, and may be due, in part, to the fact that my body is on fire fighting off this allergic reaction.)
3. Eliminate my debt
• Still haven't used my credit cards at all and will be dropping a $250 debt eliminating bomb on my cc/studloans this week.
• I may not pay off that cc after all, just to put more money on the one with the larger amount due that is collecting interest
• I'm doing better about sticking to my budget!

So that's about it as far as my goals are concerned.  I've been doing something new at work.  I think it'll be interesting and possibly lead to what I will do (and enjoy!) for the rest of my life.  But I don't know yet.  It is definitely be a great opportunity to explore another area here.

Now back to eating my (unhealthy, extremely salty) Moe's Monday chips!  Have a good week!
