Still moving forward

I really havn't felt like writing lately and I still don't but I do want to give an update.
I'm still moving forward with the renewing of my mind. Funny, our Pastor on Sunday gave a message about changing our hearts and not focusing on the behavior. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
I told him he must have got the idea from me when I chatted with him about my journey lately.
I know I know, it is not a great original idea I have. :) But defenatly is a truth I am clinging to.

So how has my mind been being renewed lately? Well, I have been using Sparkpeople just as a food journal and learning about the whole calorie defecit thing.
If the equasion works for everyone, I should be able to eat 2000 calories a day and lose a lb every day and a half. I did great for 3 days in a row, then havnt been doing so great the last 3 days.
But I have been learning alot. Like those little tortillas I like have more calories than I thought. As well as the fact that a cup of straberries with 2tbs of cool whip are a yummy summer dessert and have really low amount of calories.
Keeping a food journal has also made me more aware of my eating habits and thoughts about eating.

I am still researching the Lap Band procedure and am going to a seminar about it tonight.

Also I am starting this book a friend recomended. Not really looking for more self help books about losing weight but since a friend recomended it I will readi it.

It is " Never Say Diet" by Chantel Hobbs and so far so good.
Here is a paragraph I just read ~

"Here's the simple answer: my brain changed. I decided to first become a different person in my mind and then learned patience as my body fallowed. My success wasn't measured only by a declining number on a scale; it was much deeper. I had to change on the inside. I neeeded to change my mind before I could change my body."

I think I'll keep reading :)
