My fabulous husband brought me a burger in a bowl from Five Guys…two patties, cheese, mayo, tomatoes, onions, pickles, mushrooms, and lettuce.
I appreciate that they have a detailed nutritional information page. I can get a pretty good idea of how many carbs I’m eating from there.

I know that is a rather long title. It is also a direct quote from an article at authoritynutrition.com. I thought it was such an awesome sentence that I wanted to share it exactly as written. Another tidbit?
When they looked at particular causes of death, they found that the coffee drinkers were less likely to die from infections, injuries and accidents, respiratory disease, diabetes, stroke and heart disease.
March on over and read the whole article to learn more.

I want to keep working toward my goal of completing Week 4 Day 1 at 5mph (Confession). I knew it was a running day, but the conversation in my head went something like this:
me- It’s too cold outside to run
other me- but your treadmill is inside
me- I’m too tired to do it today
other me- exercising boosts your energy
me- I have too much on my mind
other me-turn up the music and forget your worries for thirty minutes
me-I don’t have time
other me- you’re playing Candy Crush!
me- ugh, I’m going
Completed Week 4 Day 1 with running intervals of 4.5mph! Thanks, other me.
Lunch was easy, yummy, filling- already cooked simply seasoned rotisserie chicken picked up from the store and an avocado sprinkled with sea salt

There are numerous calls for Whole Wheat in recipes on spiphywarfare.com. After some internal discussion I felt it necessary to distinguish between wheat you buy at the store labelled whole wheat and actual whole wheat. Whole wheat on spiphywarfare is referring to freshly ground flour made from organic wheat berries in my home. I discovered, at least for me, that using wheat flour I made from organic wheat did not cause me to gain weight.
I do not suggest replacing Whole Wheat on spiphywarfare with the whole wheat from a store. Store bought whole wheat is not actually whole wheat, and you risk introducing harmful chemicals into your body.

I saw this recipe and knew I had to try it. Five star keeper!
George Stella- Cauliflower Mac and Cheese Casserole
Plus, I’m imagining other ways to use the cheese sauce. If I knew how to do a starry-eyed emoticon, I would put one here.
We also had beef pot pie with one of Derek’s freshly ground organic whole wheat pie crusts.

she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. Gen. 3:6 KJV
Sin was introduced when Eve, after listening to the serpent, decided to violate God’s command. I find it interesting that the original sin took place in the act of eating.
The first act of disobedience to our Creator was to open our mouths and eat a food that would hurt us. How easy it was for sin to enter the new creation with an act of eating. How easy it was for me to continue this sin/act combination for many years in my own personal life! Time after time I’d eat bad, unhealthy foods knowing that it was destroying my health.
The crush of life and distractions to get things done, whether school or work, made it so easy to tell myself and others that “As soon as I ____, I am going to have to start a diet.” It never really hit me until later that I already had a diet; it was just that I had a diet and lifestyle that was destroying my health. That realization made me stop and get serious about something I had always professed. “The Bible is the inerrant Word of God.” If I really wanted to hold true to that statement, then I had to seriously consider 1 Corinthians 6:19,20:
6:19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 6:20 For you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.
Was I glorifying God with my body? The picture on the left in this post made the answer pretty apparent. It also made it apparent that I couldn’t be truly obedient to God until I gave him everything.

I chose to call this recipe minute bread and not minute muffin because of the way I use it. Cooked in a bowl and sliced in half it works great as a bun to hold a hamburger or bacon and eggs.
If you want a really low-carb version, leave out the wheat and use 1/4 cup of flax. You end up under 4 net carbs that way. This recipe is fun to play with adding different seasonings/flavors.

I gave up.
After publicly declaring I wouldn’t, I did.
After going through C25K with the running pace of 4mph (it was the best I could do), I decided that I would go through it again with a running pace of 5mph. I managed fine until Week 4 Day 1. I failed the first time, but didn’t get discouraged and admitted as such. I failed a second time and felt a little frustrated. I was hoping the third time would be a charm, but no.
My husband gently suggested that I go a little slower and work up to it. Hmph. That’s not how I wanted to do it, and why didn’t I think of that.
Fast forward to today. Feeling fiery darts from every direction for the last week with the last twenty-four hours being the worst, I needed a victory. I needed a personal, tangible victory. After almost a two-week hiatus from the treadmill and resisting the urge to just go to bed and hide under the covers, I decided to try it Derek’s way. Ah, small victory. I completed Week 4 Day 1 and will keep doing it until I reach my goal pace.
We all have our bad days, week, month, and sometimes even year. Don’t ever give up.
