Grace for a Cupcake

Beginning a new diet isn't something unfamiliar to me.  I am always incredibly motivated for the first week or two...but that is inevitably when temptation and convenience, mixed with a busy schedule, get the best of me.

But this time will be different.  

There are two reasons for this difference declaration...

#1  I am taking more of a spiritual approach to temptation and motivation.  Not that I am planning on casting demons out of the delicious looking cheese danishes in the Starbucks display or anything... I just realize that I trust in God for strength and wisdom in many other areas of my life and my health and fitness should be no exception!

#2  I will have some kind of public accountability!  Granted it may just be the two or three of you that stumble across this blog while searching for healthy recipes or fitness tips and my mother...but nevertheless, it is worth a shot.

Can I guarantee that I will meet my 100 pound weight loss goal?  No.
Can I guarantee a positive perspective on the days I just want red velvet cake?  Nope.

But I can promise that this journey will be full of trials, celebrations and joy :)  (And perhaps a bit of humor as I plan on attempting holy yoga, juicing and some very interesting new foods...)  I can also promise that I will mess up, give into temptation and maybe even want to quit.  But that is when God's grace will be sufficient...even for a cupcake :)
