I started a new Bible study at church this week. It is a Christian based health program. It is mostly geared to weight loss. I didn't really take it for that. It was the one study that best fit my schedule. We had our first meeting this week and I loved it. The basic premise is putting God first in all areas of your life. The eating plan is simple portion control of the basic food groups. It is very similar to the diabetic food exchange program. It also focuses on Bible study with memory verses and group support. We have a group of 15 ladies all various ages and stages of life. This may become my niche. I could totally lead this kind of Bible study with confidence and joy. The introductory session was very motivating and impressive. I am thinking about taking some of my exercise videos next week to share with he ladies. It will be interesting to see if I actually lose any weight. My weight has been pretty stable for the past several years regardless of what I eat or how much I exercise. I would probably have to maintain a 1,000 calories a day or less to really lose any pounds. That is just unrealistic and not going to happen. We have to keep a daily food journal which is always a good thing. We don't always think about how much we eat until we sit down and add it all up. Portion sizes are always a huge eye opener. A handful of pretzels is actually several bread servings. I am so glad I signed up.
