Well, what can I say? I am on a working vacation. I am living in Worcester, Ma and working in Salem. I pass Boston every single day. This weekend, I spent 2 days driving around the state, checking things out. 7 was not on the top of my list. Not really because I didn't want it to be but to be real here, I FORGOT. I forgot. How sad would I be if God just "Forgot" me. Holy heck. Well, all I can say is tomorrow is another day, lets pick it up there. I really suck at this.

Day 1
Hi, my name is Lesa and I am a food addict. What I am about to embark on is craziness at its finest. I don't even understand what I am thinking. I know what I am thinking. I have been a spoied brat my whole life. I have gotten what I wanted, when I wanted it. Now, I am about to take on this book. 7. Month 1, food. Oh My Gee. I have NO idea how I even think I am going to make this possible. This has gone to a vegitarian menu! Since my surgery most meat just gets stuck in my band anyway so - wish me luck. I am already thinking of a million excuses why this isn't going to work. I got this. I will do this and I will take down some pounds along the way. I GOT THIS!

Peanut Butter

Thank God February is only 28 days. 4 weeks. I can do this, I can do this, I can do this.
If you don't hear from me the rest of the month, I got hungry and ate my own brain.
God Help me. I need you now more than ever.

Lets do this. Again.
Today is January 31, 2013. I wrote this post February 12, 2012! - I am starting again tomorrow. I will let you know how it goes!!
I have so much more than most and sometimes I feel so sad that I don't have more. I drive a nice vehicle, I live in a nice apartment, I have a great job. I have 3 healthy children, a beautiful healthy granddaughter. My mom and dad are huge parts of my life and I would so not be here without them. I have 2 sisters and a brother who are all healthy, have jobs and doing well. I have 2 grown nephews and a beautiful little niece. My family. My family is the most amazing thing in my life. I have cousins, lots of them, all of them that I got to grow up with, somewhere now in the ball park of 20 first cousins, which I am still in contact with all of them, on a semi-regular basis, and a few of them on a weekly basis. I am a lucky chick. I have a boyfriend who has 3 amazing kiddos too. I am blessed. I say that a lot. But am I?? I love Jesus. He knows it. Does he love me in return? I have been greedy and spoiled my whole life. Even tho I don't have a lot of "stuff" I have a lot. Something is missing. I have searched and searched. I realized as I read the first chapter of this book that I was hollow and shallow. I'm a nice, genuine person but, I am hollow. I go to church, sometimes. I pray, sometimes. I love Jesus, always. But is it enough? I think that in some respects of my life, I have too much and in others not enough. The problem is, I have them all mixed up. I need less "stuff" and more Jesus! I need to clear out the "stuff" to make more room for him. This is a seven month journey that I am about to take to clear out the Excess and make room for Success!!
The book Seven is written by an amazing woman named Jen Hatmaker. She is the wife, a mother, a woman of God, a REALIST, who isn't at all afraid to let the world know that she has flaws.
Seven: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess is a seven month bible study in clearing out the excess and making more room for the Holy Spirit. Today, I will start month one. Food. Month 2 is Clothing. Month 3 Possesions. Month 4 Media. Month 5 Waste. Month 6 Spending (which really should be month one for me!) and month 7 Stress.
Tomorrow is the day. Day 1. A whole year later. Has anything changed?
