Happy Monday Ya’ll!  

Last week was bad. Very bad.

Basically a cheat meal gone from bad to worse sent me spinning into a landslide as far as my food is concerned.

And yet I still am scheduled to talk about “Food and Fitness”.

Of course I am.

So today’s podcast is definitely full of thoughts that I want to share with you but it is also full of thoughts I needed to share with ME!

I got so excited in fact that the podcast lasted much longer than I intended for it to and I made the decision to split into two. I will post podcast #008 on Wednesday.

After successfully losing a nice chunk of weight more than once… and each time gaining a large chunk of weight right back, I think I’m qualified to talk about the pitfalls of putting on the pounds.

I’ve had practice.

I also believe that if you find yourself falling into a ditch over and over again, it’s time to take a good look at the ditch and put some thought into why you stumble in over and over again. The hope is that with the recognition of our own individual tendencies to fall we can recognize the danger before the next time around we might be tempted to fall in.

Why do we struggle with any bad habit, overindulgence, or sin over and over again?

I look forward to exploring this with you today on the podcast.

Because I got so “into it” when discussing this topic, I split the podcast in TWO.  Look for the next section to be up on the blog by Wednesday!
