Good Morning, FS Buddies! Down a couple more pounds. Gave myself a break on the exercise yesterday. Planning on a little more intense workout this morning. This has been a heck of a week.Three funerals. I only officiated at one, but all were close friends of the family. Meals after funerals are pretty tempting; I faltered a time or two, but still exercised more reserve than I would have before. I would be officiating at a funeral Monday, but I am having surgery then and just cannot do it.
Getting ready to start my courses up at the Nazarene Bible College again, and am going to take a couple courses here locally - or within 75 miles. Looking forward to a pretty exciting year.
Toodles!

losing 2.0 lb a week
24 January 2017
Good Evening, FS Buddies!
Spent the last couple of days with extended family who came from other states for their grandfather's funeral. Of course, time together involved eating-and I did too ugh of it. Ate light today to compensate. Haven't missed a workout yet though. Still hoping for a loss this Friday.
There is a cold wind blowing today. The weather has been way too mild for January. I have a pre-surgery physical scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. Going to have an eyelid lift on the 30th. My left eye gets a little lazy when I'm reading since I had that bout of Bells Palsy. Although you probably wouldn't notice it unless I told you, it can get a bit annoying-especially when preaching or trying to read music. They say that I will be black and blue for two or three days, but it is outpatient surgery.
I've been slowly building a base on the treadmill. No sense rushing anything; that only leads to injury. I broke into a jog a few times, but I don't want to make it a habit right yet. I'm too heavy, and it is too soon. I don't need shin splints or pulled hamstrings. There is no hurry, since you can lose just as much weight by walking as you can jogging. It isn't the exercise that takes the weight off; it's the building of muscle which burns more calories over the long haul-even at rest. Stop and think about it; most of us would have to run a marathon to burn enough calories to lose one pound. I think that is what frustrates a lot of newbies. They kill themselves working out and don't see the results they were hoping for.
Just some ramblings from a FatSecret lifer. Toodles!

Good Afternoon, my FS Friends.
I traded in my digital scale for an analog one a couple of months back. I'm not interested in seeing my weight fluctuate by 0.5 pounds. I figure that if the weight loss is significant enough, an analog scale will show it. When it is all said and done, when I drop this 50 pounds by the end of the year, I am pretty sure the scale will show a 50 pound drop - give or take a couple pounds. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
BTW, my Ministry Review Board Mtg went great! They were there more for encouragement and support than for interrogation.
Toodles!

losing 4.7 lb a week
19 January 2017
Good Morning, FS Friends! Well, the hard part is over - getting started. It's been about a week since I committed to beginning this journey again. I know that I know that I know that I have never been able to restrict my intake without incorporating some kind of exercise program. Once I started getting on the treadmill again, and working out on the Total Gym clone, I am more conscious about what I am about to put in my mouth. I find myself asking the question, “Is this worth sabotaging the effort that you are putting in early every morning?” So far, it seems to be working. My current weight allows me to eat over 2000 calories a day and still lose weight, but experience tells me that I have to develop good habits now, or I will fail after some of the weight comes off, and my RDI is reduced. Experience is a good teacher, but it can also be an obstacle. The journey is not always easy, and experience kept me from making the commitment for a long time.
This afternoon, I have my interview before the District Ministry Board for my Ministers License. I am already a Pastor and doing pretty good, but there is still that little bit of apprehension and anxiety. I know that the same God that called me to this ministry is going to complete the work that He began in me; I just have to make sure that my emotions don't drive me to some kind of feeding frenzy.
Have you ever noticed that looking in the mirror can sabotage your motivation. I swear that my profile looks worse a week after losing a few pounds than it did before. I always have to remind myself that things always look worse before they look better. It could be that your face is the first thing to lose the fat, and everything else then looks out of proportion. I have heard women say that they first lose weight in their boobs and get frustrated. I think there is probably something to that. Just don't look in the mirror sideways for a while.
Anyway, thanks for listening. Toodles!
