8 Week Diabetic Weight Loss Challenge-GOALS

I am just gonna put this out there.

I have a prediabetic diagnosis and need to take it seriously. My paternal grandmother died at age 59! because she was diabetic and would not follow her doctor's instructions. Between being on the road with my husband for most of the last 6 years, and spinal stenosis/sciatica which knocked me out of commission for several months in 2019, I have gained 20 pounds!

My SMART** Goal is to lose 20 pounds by my 70th birthday, July 24, 2019 by following the SparkPeople Diabetic Nutrition and Fitness Plans, unless Doc Thompson has me do something different. As a Christian and a former Weight Watcher leader I understand that some things are not in my control but most things are.

I will do my best to remember :

13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
(and)
14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry." (So, I will not Spark during my Bible/prayer time!)

What I seek is totally within God's will, since, as a born again believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, my body is His temple, and "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me!"

My thanks if you have read this far!
