Well, here we go again. You’d think I would learn. I do so well on my eating plan, and then I gradually fall off the wagon. The sad thing that I have learned is that once I reached a certain age, I don’t just go back to the weight I was, but I gain more than I started with. I’m not 25 anymore; I can’t do the “Rocky” thing and get lean and trim in 30 days - like in my old military days. I’m going to go back on the high protein low carb plan again. It’s the only thing that works when you get older. I do believe what I have read - that the older you get, your body is less efficient at processing carbs. Since I don’t plan on cashing in my chips anytime soon, I guess I’ll have to make this a lifestyle change. Otherwise, a few more cycles and I’ll be as wide as I am tall. Thanks for tuning in to my ramblings.

Good Morning, FatSecret Warriors! Well, I’ve been a bad boy over the weekend. Perhaps anxiety made me do it. :) My diet kind of went south. Friday, I did not want to eat breakfast or lunch before traveling to the interview, and by the time supper rolled around, I was starving. Then they rolled in Avanti’s spaghetti and sub sandwiches. I ate like I was starving. That set the tone for the rest of the weekend’s seminar. Anyway, I was confirmed and unanimously recommended for ordination at the next District Assembly by the District Board of Elders. The District Assembly usually happens around May, but due to the pandemic was not held this year. Perhaps it will be held this coming May and I will get ordained with the ones who were approved last year. It’s a pretty big deal in the Nazarene denomination and they like to ordain elders (Preachers) when the whole District is present, and the service is facilitated by one of the General Superintendents of the denomination. But it’s great to know that I have the confidence of the District now. Well, that’s probably more than you ever wanted to know about Nazarene credentials. Back to the eating plan, but probably not seriously until tomorrow. :)

Down a pound! Yay! The FatSecret Wizard tells me that it is going to take me eleven months to reach my goal weight. That sounds good; it took me 70 years to get here. I probably indulged more yesterday than I have since I started on the 3rd. It wasn’t terrible - I ate more than the self-inflicted RDI but quite a bit less than the one that FatSecret recommended. The suit fits; YAY! The buttons may become a missile hazard if I don’t unbutton them before I sit down; but hey, mission accomplished. But not to fear, this is only the beginning of this lifestyle change. I’m going to get er done this time.

Today and tomorrow I will be having my Ordination interview and attending a preparatory seminar. I haven’t got time to indulge due to nerves. :) I’ve been the only pastor here for four years now, so I have no reason why I wouldn’t have the confidence of the denomination, so there really isn’t anything to be nervous about. I was more nervous when I had my gall bladder removed in 1984. The temp dropped to zero last night; first time since last winter. I’m trying not to put on a winter coat this year; but I don’t plan on hibernating anyway. My biggest challenge today and tomorrow will be dining away from home. I will just have to make the best choices I can, given the options available due to this Corona virus, but I think I’ll do fine.

Toodles!
