Weight Update

I know I was supposed to keep you more up to date but sometimes I'm a slacker. I was doing really well with my diet until both injury and Christmas hit!

3 weeks ago I stepped in a hole while doing my morning run. That accident caused a horrible sprain, which limited my cardio activity for a couple weeks. Even skipped going to the gym, it was a chore just to walk. Then when the week of Christmas rolled around I stopped watching what I ate. I seem to do that every Christmas. I'm blessed to have 2 extremely good bakers in the family who do nothing but cook during this time, I take full advantage by tasting just about everything!

I was almost up to 10lbs lost when all of this happened. Now I'm currently back at 5lbs down, which I'm happy considering all that I ate and not working out. I'm still not running but I am able to cycle plus I'll start my swimming back up on Monday. I've been very disciplined at the gym this week and very good with my diet. I should be able to catch up with the 10lbs easily this week. And if I work hard enough I'm sure I can still hit that goal by our major convention at the end of January.

Hope you are all prepared for the New Year and pursuing your fitness goals :)

God's Hall of Fame

This crowd on earth
They soon forget
The heroes of the past.
They cheer like mad
Until you fall
And that's how long you last.

But God does not forget
And in his Hall of Fame
By just believing in his Son
Inscribed you'll find your name.

I tell you, friends,
I would not trade
My name however small
Inscribed up there
Beyond the stars
In that celestial hall.

For any famous name on earth
Or glory that they share
I'd rather be an unkown here
And have my name up there.
