On the plus side I made it to the 2/3 of the way around the earth in virtual miles today. According to my research the earth is about 24,900 miles in circumference I just went over 16,600 miles. If you divide 24,900 by 3 you get 8,300 and 8,300 x 2=16,600. I still however am [...]
Today I hit 16000 miles on my exercise bike. That’s about 600 miles short of 2/3 of the way around the world. I think it was kind of neat that I hit 16000 exactly. When I punched in 11.4 miles my formula on the spreadsheet hit 16000 on the nose. I started this in the [...]
I have been fighting to not go “off the wagon” so to speak for about 8 or 9 months now. I have a little success and then “miss” a few days of staying on track. What it all comes down to is that I am not following my own advice of giving it all to [...]

I don’t got none… As I was reminded today at church the only “self control” is “God control”. As we can see in Galatians one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is self control. Did you hear that? It is a gift from God, not something I can conjure up on my own. When [...]
I’ll admit I have given in to the hype and bought my share of the various varieties of 100 calorie snacks. But today it dawned on me that they don’t help me and may be sabotaging my weight control. They seemed to be hollering at me “I’M ONLY 100 CALORIES… EAT ME!!!”. So I did… [...]
I have been able to keep exercising every day but the eating has gotten out of hand at times. I think I may be gaining ground and I pray often for God’s strength to say NO to the temptations. I think part of the reason I am struggling is so I can identify with others [...]
I was able to stay with my “sugar fast” for the two weeks I had challenged myself to. Now after having sugar again I notice the cravings returning thus I am now going to implement another two week “sugar fast”. My son’s birthday is over, my birthday is not until next month, and I can’t [...]
