Before I share my Week 1 Get Down Glo Girls food list and weigh-in numbers with you, I just gotta say . . .
Thanks and hugs to all 76 of you who have already joined me for our 10-week, lose-weight-get-healthier, accountability group! Can’t wait to read your Get Down Glo Girl comments today and hear how your first week went!
And good news for those of you who haven’t joined: it’s not too late to join our group. Just click here for details about our Get Down Glo Girls group, and add your “I’m in” comment to this post to join. We would so love to welcome you to this exciting 10-week adventure in accountability.
Okay, as promised, here’s my Week 1 Get Down Glo Girl Food List (just click to open a PDF of all of the food and calories I consumed last week, quiet time and exercise info, and the amount of weight I lost).
By God’s grace and with your prayers, support, and accountability, I am grateful to report that I had a glo-rious Week 1 and lost 2 lbs.! Glory to God!
I’ve been praying for you this past week, too. So, please be sure to leave your comment, and let me hear how your Week 1 went. You don’t have to share your weight/weight-loss/weight-gain numbers (unless you want to). You just have to “check-in” by adding your comment to this post – that’s the accountability part of Get Down Glo Girls.
Today, as we begin Week 2, I want to encourage you with a couple of amazing scriptures to stand on (or even better, memorize) this week:
Romans 8:12-13 (NLT)
12 Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, you have no obligation whatsoever to do what your sinful nature urges you to do.
13 For if you keep on following it, you will perish. But if through the power of the Spirit you turn from it and its evil deeds, you will live.
Hold on to God’s Word this week, girls! And through the power of His indwelling Spirit, do not allow your flesh (or the enemy) to bully you into believing that you’re too weak to control your body or what you eat or drink. Let the Spirit flow, girls, and you will glo!
Got your Week 2 meals planned yet? That’s what I’m doing today. And here are a few of my favorite breakfast and on-the-go pantry staples – thought maybe you’d like to add them to your grocery list:
My morning yum-yum: Coffee with 2 Splenda and 2 tbl. fat-free cream. 40 calories of deliciousness!
Healthy (and filling) breakfast: Kashi Go Lean Instant Hot Cereal with Clusters, berries, and a slice of 12-grain toast. Comfort food at it’s guilt-free best!
Time to start Get Down Glo Girl Week 2! Don’t be discouraged if your scale hasn’t moved yet (or even if it’s moved in the wrong direction). Don’t quit, sisters! Post your comment today, and let’s:
- Hang-in together for one more week.
- Pray for each other daily.
- Encourage one another by replying to each other’s comments.
In other words, let’s Get Down & Glo Girls!
Praying for you, your sister,
It’s your turn, glo girls! Let me know how your Week 1 went. And please share any tips or pantry staples you’re enjoying as well. Wanna join our group? Just leave a comment, and tell us you’re IN!
