Philippians 2:5-11 (NIRV)

"As you deal with one another, you should think and act as Jesus did.
In his very nature he was God. Jesus was equal with God. But Jesus didn’t take advantage of that fact. Instead, he made himself nothing. He did this by taking on the nature of a servant. He was made just like human beings. He appeared as a man. He was humble and obeyed God completely. He did this even though it led to his death. Even worse, he died on a cross!
So God lifted him up to the highest place. God gave him the name that is above every name. When the name of Jesus is spoken, everyone will kneel down to worship him. Everyone in heaven and on earth and under the earth will kneel down to worship him. Everyone’s mouth will say that Jesus Christ is Lord. And God the Father will receive the glory." Philippians 2:5-11 (NIRV)

Maintaining…and I’m NOT at my Goal Weight!


Family Picture at The King and I -- Patrick's Good-Bye Dinner
Well, I hit the point last week where I need to now maintain…at least until June 30th!  My sister gets married on the 30th, and I’ve had my dress fitted.  This means I absolutely cannot gain or lose weight for the next couple of weeks – gotta fit the dress!

Since I’ve been doing low carb, this is a tricky endeavor.  I decided to add in higher carb veggies like carrots and corn, as well as adding in fruit.  I also decided that I could be a little more lenient with my special occasion carb intake; I would just have to “make up” for it if I over do a little!

That being said, in the past week, I’ve been to the Star of India (with two friends I only get to hang out with every few months) and The King and I (with the family)…Indian and Thai food.  Both of them were awesome! 

At the Star of India, I had lamb, shrimp, and mushroom Balti (a curry dish), which was absolutely fabulous!  I did eat it with rice and had some Naan bread…yum!  It was so good I’m going again for lunch today!

I had been to The King and I one time before with one of my college roommates, Kim, but it had been several years.  I only remember that I loved it.  I was there this time with my family as a last good-bye dinner for my brother, Patrick, before he moved to Spokane, Washington.  We ate family style, and I tried a little bit of everything.  It was all really good!  I had a lot less rice this time around, but I did have some.  It was great, and I can’t wait to go again!
