Good choices...for the stomach and Soul

Hello followers!

I have not been doing any diets/plans/controlled eating lately. There have been a few things that have made it difficult to keep with either a diet or focused clean eating. 
But I don't want to leave you wondering "what's going on with The Healthy First Kiss Girl?" :) 

I'm very transparent...so I'll be honest with you...I eat Chick-fil-A, McDonalds and junk food all on occasion. I also am not as "planned" about my meals as I would like to be. But life shouldn't be about staying one way...but rather being conscious about what foods are good and what ones are bad. For example: that McDonalds I had for lunch...I know I'll be paying for it later...it just isn't "good food" for me.
But in preparing for my trip to the good 'ol Garden State I selected Grapefruit Juice :) 
along with a banana and cottage cheese...see, those were my "good food" choices today. 

So the next time you have to stop somewhere to eat or can't choose something super healthy...just think about each choice and decide what to do based on what you are comfortable with. Detoxing is also something I try to do regularly, especially after a party with super awesome goodies ;)

One last encouragement...when the day kind of gets away and you feel like you're just chasing time...remember...you still have "good choices" you can make by praying in your car, listening and singing worship music or reading a few chapters in the Bible before bed...God knows you have to choose make the choice...He also knows your human state...but He has given you everything you need to make good decisions in your life..so, help yourself by accepting Gods help found only in His unshakable Word. :)

Blessings to you this week!

Depressing or blessing?


I went through my closet of jeans in hopes to get rid of some...

I realized: "As long as I don't gain or loose weight I'm set for jeans for LIFE!"

Some people would consider it depressing that my "bigger jeans" are now "just the right size"... But I'm wondering wether to see this as depressing or a blessing. I don't have to buy jeans for a while (as you can see) and every pair fits!! Isn't that a good thing? I don't have to spend money!

You probably know from reading my blogs that I'm health focused. I try to eat right and take vitamins and do my part to care for Gods temple. Why would I be upset having this healthy life and having a certain size of jeans? I get compliments often from wonderful people that I look great, why would I depress myself by being unsatisfied? This may just be a time. Why should I be down about my body when I'm taking good care of it? I shouldn't. 

So here I am, a size 9 jeans girl...at one point I was a 5...but I'm happy no matter what size jean I slip into :)

Please be blessed and not depressed with me!!! :)

I'm back!!! GOODmorning :)

Good morning my followers! 
First, to have a "good" morning I believe I have to be focused on good things. This morning I'm still being blessed by waking up yesterday and grabbing my Bible. (If you'd like to read my daily posts...see my "life blog" or friend request me on Facebook)
I realized that every morning should consist of me "grabbing my Bible" in excitement to talk to God! But every morning is not like that. God is so understanding that He doesn't require that of my mornings...but He also reads my heart even if my morning isn't spent reading His Word. 

Gods Word is life...and until I pick it up..that life is gradually being drained from me. I often get frustrated and stressed in the absence of His Word but one grab of the Bible purposely seeking Him and I'm released and rejuvenated! :)
That is the GOOD I need in my morning :)

So I'm getting back on track with the Word and the food!! Today I'm having coffee, a slice of 12 grain bread and 2 over-easy eggs...plus my vitamins :)

I hope you make healthy food choices today and healthy life choices today. 
Bring something "good" in your day today. Maybe replace a thought of bitterness with a thought of love towards someone. Or maybe replace a time of stress with a time of smiling. 
Or just take care of all of it with the Bible open and ready all day :)

God bless your Friday :)

Update

Hi there!!!
So our family got a stomach bug. 
It started with me, went through my family and my sisters family. 

I have been off track on eating as we haven't been to the store to get fruit and my appetite is off balance. But...soon...I'll be posting what I'm eating again! :)

Stay tuned! :)
