Prayer

Exercise
My son hosted an end-of-summer party today. He invited 7 friends to spend the afternoon swimming, playing football, sitting around a bonfire and gaming.

Although the boys didn't seem to care about the colour of the pool, I opted out of the swim and instead went for a 45-minute walk around the neighbourhood.

Then I worked throughout high school in a bakery. I love doughnuts! I love pastries! I could eat them till I'm stuffed full and still reach for more. But since starting this program, I am devoted to avoiding all pastries. I quickly handed out the treats for the boys to eat before I could squirrel them away to devour on my own.
