7

I'm reading Jen Hatmaker's new book 7.  I'm doing the 7 experiment  and I'm on day 2.  In short, for 7 months I will try to eliminate excess in my life, and the first month focuses on food.  I have picked 7 foods and will try my dangest to only eat these 7 for the next four weeks. My partner in this insanity is Mariah and we are both blogging about it.  My foods are 1. Chicken 2. Apples 3. Sweet Potatoes 4. Spinach 5. whole wheat Bread 6. Avocado 7. Beans.
I realized early today that I had totally forgot to really pray about how God wanted me to to do this. I felt He was clear that I am not Jen Hatmaker and my experiment will and should look different. Therefore, I'm not feeling bad for putting all natural apple butter on my toast because what I really want on it is butter and I ordered a Chipoltle Chicken sandwich at Panera and took off the cheese and tomatoes but still kinda tasted them and it made me very happy.  I have purposely kept dairy and nuts from my 7 foods in anticipation of the effect on my waist line.
