Excerpt: The Pursuit of God, The Human Thirst for the Divine, A.W. Tozer

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, The Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wondered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen

Day 3 and Results of 3-Day Military Diet

It seemed that there was not much food to be had today!  :(  But I stuck to it.....except that I made a substitution in the dinner meal.

So, this was dinner for last night, add to this 1/2 banana and 1/2 c. vanilla ice cream!  I chose to eat the broccoli and carrots raw!  YUM!  The hot dogs are Turkey Franks that I fixed in the toaster oven.  I must say they were pretty good!  So, we ate at 3:30.  I was hungry by bed time, to say the least!  :D

Now, here is what today's (Thursday) breakfast was ..... 5 saltines, 2 oz (2.5 slices) cheddar cheese and an apple!  Not much!

Lunch was a hard boiled egg and a slice of bread.  You can see how I creatively made an egg sandwich using my skinny bread.  It actually was not too bad!  When I fry an egg, it is usually this hard, anyway!  Don't want anything running!  :D

So, I weighed this morning and found that my total weight loss for the 3 days was 9.4 lbs!  WOOHOO!  I haven't totally decided if I am going to do it again after the 4 days off or not.  We will see how I do with my weight during that 4 days off!  :D  We have a church dinner coming up on Sunday, which is NOT a good thing!


So, for today I ate a serving of oatmeal with 1 tsp sugar and cinnamon.  For lunch I had 1/2 grapefruit and a bunch of baby raw carrots.

I had to go to Walmart for some more water, so I decided to go to the park over by the library to walk first.  As you can see from the picture, it was a beautiful day for walking!  The track is 1/3 mile around and I made 6 laps in 30 minutes!  So, I was quite pleased with that!  That is the same pace Tim and I did back in 2002 when we were on the weight watchers points diet and walked every day.   I just hope I can keep myself motivated into doing this every day!  And even increasing my time.....eventually!

I didn't get  a picture, but Tim and I had home made vegetable soup for dinner.  It was absolutely DELICIOUS!  :D

Before I took my shower for church, I decided to wash all the yellow pollen off of my car.  This picture doesn't do the pollen justice!  It was a MESS!

Tim said it looked like a new car when I finished!  :D  At least the outside does!

That wraps it up for today!  Time for bed!
