Food To Chew On:

A Commitment To Share

2 Timothy 1:12 (NKJV)

 For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.

Thought For The Day:

Commitment to Christ must involve commitment to our neighbor and

our world, for Christ’s sake”—Leighton Ford.

Happy Wardrobe Wednesday Tips, it is a beautiful day.. as you keep up the  great work … exercising and eating right your clothes will be loser and loser!! Then you will have to get a new wardrobe…take it from me I had dropped 5 dress sizes and 85 lbs. + just be exercising and eating the right foods… So friends, if I can do it, I know you can!!! J We have more tips to help you get to your desired size… (tips from 30-35)

30. People who regularly weigh themselves and keep track of their progress in a journal are more likely to lose weight.

31. Use a dash of cinnamon to give fruits such as bananas and melons a richer dessert feel without the sugar.

32. Give your protein extra low-calorie flavor by adding a salsa or chutney instead of a gooey cream sauce.

33. Distracted dining will get you in trouble. Avoid eating in front of a television or in a movie theater, as you're bound to consume more calories.

34. Pass on pop. You'll be amazed by how much weight you drop by simply switching to water.

35. Beware of "fat-free" or "zero trans fats" foods as you could be trading fats for huge amounts of sugar or sodium.
