Maiden Voyage

Because it was so hot last weekend, I lost the 5 pounds I gained last week.  I think most of it was water weight. 

Quote of the Day: "In returning[a] and rest you shall be saved;   in quietness and in trust shall be your strength." (part of Isaiah 30:15)

June 19th, 2006 at 12:52 pm (Uncategorized) This weekend has been pretty steamy. It seems like Summer has finally arrived, and we try not to run the airconditioning in the house. Diet and Discipleship has moved to wordpress.com. This will be my daily journal and log of my life long passion of trying to become whole. I thought the banana smoothie theme was appropriate because it sybolizes dieting.Breakfast:2 Cups of Cheerios 1 cereal bar 3 cups of coffee 2 glasses of water Lunch: 3 redskin potatoes with bacon bits and ketchup 10 saltine crackers 2 Glasses of water Snack: 1 bag of popcorn Dinner: 1 Can of chunky beef vegatable soup 2 potatoes 6 crackers 3 glasses of water Exercise: Arms and legs non cardio Cardio – Exercise bike for 30 minutes Discipleship: Meeting with Mark K, Steve, and Pastor JC.

Verse of the Day:

15Catch the foxes[a] for us,
   the little foxes
that spoil the vineyards,
   for our vineyards are in blossom.”
(Song of Solomon – 2:15)

This verse refers to the little doorways, distractions, and sin patterns that the enemy will use to spoil and destroy the fruit of obedience that comes from the Lord.

Quote of the Day:

3 Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, 4 and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.” (Luke 17:3-4)

True repentence is always preceeds reconciliation. Forgiveness is always an offer for us to repent and turn away from sin. Yesterday, I had lunch with Mark K. We discussed the nuances of Chocolate Labs (His dog – Mocha, and my Dog – Gabe)

Update

I have not blogged in a while due to being really busy. A lot of people from my church community have joined Planet Fitness the gym that I belong to. The owner sold his franchise of Gold’s Gym and bought the franchise rights to Planet Fitness. You can’t beat the price. After the start up fee, it will only cost $10.00 a month. Over the past 8 months I have lost almost 50 pounds. I have about 50 pounds to go to meet my first big weight loss goal.
