What I learned from Reshaping it All - Janelle Nehrenz

I had the pleasure of reading this wonderful book while vacationing with my husband in the mountains. It felt so nice to curl up with a blanket next to a huge fireplace and read something truly inspiring!

I would like to start out by sharing with you my "dog-eared" pages...these are the quotes that really spoke to me:

If you want something you've never had before, you have to do something you've never done before, ~ Author Unknown (p 44)

Stay in communication with God, monitor your behavior, and buddy up with a partner" (p 57)

There is a popular term in the land of the lean called HALT- are you Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired? If you are hungry than proceed but if you are responding to an emotion than HALT! (p 60)

Submit yourselves, then to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (James 4:7) When we resist temptation it eventually leaves. (p 83)

In scripture after scripture the Bible stresses the importance of controlling our bodies, our tongues, and our thoughts....anyone who has reached a high level of weight loss has had self-discipline" (p 95)

All of these quotes are great ingredients to make a perfect recipe for a healthy lifestyle. They are God backed, simple, and make perfect sense.

Since I was reading this book while I was on a mini weekend getaway...I want to share with you some of MY own obstacles that I faced over the weekend . This book helped with my own convictions and ultimately...my decisions! Here we go!

Candace talks about moderation and being able to treat yourself every now and again.
SO! I SPLIT dessert with my husband (I could have totally eaten the whole thing).

This was the breakfast menu...and I was told the two BEST things were
the Eggs benedict and the House made Corn beef hash...what did I get?
OATMEAL...Win for me! (That was very hard for me actually)

For lunch, I opted for a vegetarian bean soup...it was so good and kept me full!
( I wanted a burger and fries)

This salad was intense...this is actually me finished with it! It was HUGE!
I DIPPED my fork in the dressing instead of pouring it over top (a great Candace tip!) ,
I pushed the cheese aside and stopped eating when I was full.

I would "guestimate" that this book saved me about 5,000 calories that weekend! Wow!!!

Thank you "Reshaping it All!!" ( I don't miss those calories one bit!)
