Not dieting...living better

Ok, so I'm not dieting. But the picture you see to your left is what I had for breakfast this morning. It's a Fiber One bar, yogurt, and water (which I've had about 3 of those this morning). I found that dieting doesn't work for me, because dieting only says that I'll eat, or not eat certain things. See that has no thought process behind it. It only puts mandates on what I consume and what I don't. So my plan now is to live better; because that charges me to change my way of thinking about living. It's kinda like a sinner deciding to become saved. In order to do so, you have to change the way you think, and not just do random attempts at "not sinning". It's almost lunch time here on the east coast, and I'm trying to figure out what I'll have for lunch. I bought some plums, grapes, and bananas last night at the store, so maybe I'll walk home and have a fruit salad. Keep in mind though, I'm not trying to get down to 165, but this frame of mine, just can't hold onto 215 any more. I think I've been relatively the same weight (give or take 10lbs) for the past 3 years. Something has got to change.

Speaking of change. yesterday I listed as #3 on other things going on in my life, that God is working things out where my job is concerned, right. So I get to work this morning, having plans to spend the first half of my day studying for class since my boss was out of the office today. Well around 9am I get a call, from the Vice President of Strategic Planning. Here's how the conversation went.....

VP: Morning KJ, this is ---- from down in Strategic Planning, how are this morning?

KJ: Morning ----, I'm doing well, and yourself.

VP: I'm doing good. The reason I'm calling this morning is because we want to bring you in for an interview on Friday! (gasp: God is good). After our phone converastion on Tuesday, we want to see if you're a good fit as a Manager of Strategic Planning. (gasp: God is really good)

KJ: That's great. I'd be more than happy to meet with you (trying to hold back the excitement). What time on Friday would be good for you?

VP: How about 9am?

KJ: That's fine by me.


Isn't God good. Sometimes I just have to stop in the middle of what I'm doing and give him thanks.

So much other stuff going on right now, so I'm trying to space out my posts. But who knows, I might be back on here later on this afternoon, ranting and raving about how I have class tonight.

In any event, it's almost 12:30 and I'm headed to lunch! I hope you all stay blessed.


Until then, Stay Prayed Up
KJ
