Hello! Today is:

SEE WHAT'S NEW!

I doubt I'll be able to put my thoughts down in a cohesive order so this will probably be a saved for later document too.  :-(   Never enough time...

This is like my fourth week I think.  It's more than that for the walking/moving habit but that's about when I became dedicated to logging my activity on MyFitnessPal.  My FitBit probably goes back a bit further.  Anyway, I want to tell you that you will probably be surprised that I haven't lost any more weight.  The first two weeks I went from 213 down to 209.  Then I went down to 207.  And today, although I shouldn't weigh myself mid-week and after a cheat meal - I did, and I went back up to 209.  What?  I thought I was well on my way down the scale.  But then, the decline just stopped (and reversed?!).  But this time, instead of going back to my old crappy eating habits and bad attitude I decided to stick with it.  God is walking me right through this.  It can't possibly be something I'm doing on my own because I've tried it before and something is different this time.  I trust God to continue to do this work in me. My part is just sticking to it even when I feel like there is no progress.  But the truth is, there is progress.  I am drinking water like I'm supposed to and I can feel the changes.  My head is more clear (my thinking that is) and my skin isn't nearly as crawly dry as it normally would be at this time of the year.  Granted, the weather has been extraordinarily unseasonal.  It's February and we just enjoyed a fantastic gathering of friends this past weekend and John smoked a beef brisket to share.  It was like 70 both Saturday and Sunday.  February 7th and 8th!  It's hard to believe but I tell you it's true.  There has been a part of me that was sure that we would pay the price for this mild winter in February but it's running out of time to do that.  Unless of course the Spring months are even stranger than the winter months...
