I just like to check-in on everyone a few weeks after the fast to see how it's going. I know most of us are enjoying the weight loss that was a natural and welcome side effect of fasting. So let me share a few pointers on how to capitalize on that bit of good fortune.
The most obvious is portion control. Your body may not be all that interested in eating large portions. Don't force it. And if the comfort foods don't taste quite as rewarding, keep them on hold as well. Remember this is also a great time to continue working on breaking the sugar habit.
Last, build in exercise. Walk a mile everyday you are at work and one other day besides. Park as far as you can from your office (on premises of course). Take the stairs a couple of times, take a quick break around the building, and your regular up and down throughout the day will do the rest.
We are responsible before God to be good stewards of our health as much as we are for our finances and everything else. Let's honor that trust.
Stay tuned. I also want to talk about keeping the spiritual advantage. So please, join me again on Wednesday.
Blessed weekend and Lord's Day!
