Week Ten - A Noticeable Difference

We are wrapping up week ten of our new eating habits. Ten weeks seems like a short amount of time when looking at the big picture, but it has been enough to make some noticeable differences in our health, our attitude, our tastebuds and my heart.

Our Health

When we started this I was about 15 lbs heavier.
When we started this I could not run/jog for more than a minute, last night I made it four.
When we started this Eliza was having stomach cramping a few times every day, and the doctors were ready to put her on a prescription. She is not on it, and the stomach pains are GONE!

Our Attitude

When we started this I was ready to give up on ever being able to shed the extra weight.
When we started this I felt hopeless about surrendering my food addiction to my Lord.
When we started this Eliza would not eat salad. She eats it almost daily now (even though she is still not a fan.)
When we started this we did not pay attention to what we were consuming, now we read the back of the label even for the gum we buy. (which all of it is garbage.)

Our Tastebuds

When we started this Eliza would not eat Veggie Pasta soup. It is now one of her favorties.
When we started this, I could not get enough sugar. Last night I got my old Starbuck's favorite Chai Frappachino and could not finish half of it. WAY TO SUGARY!
When we started this, I could taste the Kefirness in the Kefir. Now it is a normal flavor in our home.

My Heart

When I started this, I was still holding back a part of me, not willing to let it be opened to healing.
When I started this, I was still convinced that I was going to be the one to fix the emptiness I have been trying to fill.

When I started this it was ten weeks ago. There have been good weeks, where my will was rockin. And a few weeks where there was no will, no power, just a pray that I could make it through and not throw in the towel completely. A deep yearning to continue to be changed and transformed from the inside out.
