Day 1... Not so bad

So day one has been pretty good. I ate a banana for breakfast and a hard boiled egg. For lunch I ate 3 chicken strips, refried beans (not from the can) and half of an avocado. I brought tortillas to make tacos with and noticed real quick that corn tortillas are just awful!! No flavor and basically taste like a piece of cardboard (whatever that taste like). But I made it through lunch and then had another banana for a snack this afternoon. I came home and went for a three mile run and felt great.

Then it hit me....I'm hungry!!! I want a cookie, some chips....something. So Pat whipped up some huevos rancheros for dinner, and I even got a scoop of salsa with this meal. Oh how I am craving a glass of milk. It was a good dinner and I can honestly say, I don't think this will be too bad. I have noticed the hard part has just been remembering that my choices are limited and when you are hungry you will eat whatever is placed in front of you and you will be thankful for it. We take so much for granted and forget all of the options that we have been given, not only with food but with so much more in life. It's time to stop and look around you. Are you collecting treasures to glorify you or God. Are you prepared to justify why you pay $100 a month on cable tv but are unable to sponsor a child? These are tough questions that I have been asking myself lately? Am I glorifying God in all that I do and all that I have (as I type this from my iPad)? The answer is no, but it could easily be yes.

Tomorrow I have to make another run to the local mercado, we are eating bananas like they are going out of style. I hope I can pick up some ideas from the store owners while I am there.

For now, it's lights out. See you tomorrow rice and beans.
