Colossians 3:23
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.
Alice was right: Doug had been doing his diet halfway. His heart hadn't really been in it, and Alice asked him why he was even doing it at all. Now, he felt he was ready. Alice had offered the challenge, and he aimed to take her up on it. No more halfway measures: he was going to throw all his energy and commitment into losing some weight. God wants us to mean what we say. Our yes must mean yes, and our no must mean no. Whatever we choose to do, we ought to do it fully, for God wants children with commitment and resolve, not indecision and insincerity.
Today's Thought: My diet is an all-or-nothing proposition!

Today's Tip: Add More Activity
Find ways to build more activity into each day - take the stairs rather than the elevator. Park in the far corner of the parking lot rather than near the door. Put on music and dance through chores or just for fun.

Fruit-Filled Breakfast Wontons
8 square wonton skins
1/4 c golden raisins
4 large walnut halves, cut in half
1 tbs packed brown sugar
1/8 tsp cinnamon
Preheat oven to 400 degrees; line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray. Bring a large pot of water to a simmer. Brush edges of wonton skins with water to moisten. Place raisins and walnuts in the centers of the wonton skins; fold in half on the diagonal, pressing the edges to seal tightly. Place the wontons in the simmering water about 1 minute. With a slotted spoon, transfer the wontons
to paper towels to drain; place them on the baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over the wontons. Bake until lightly browned and crisp, 8-10 min.
