An Ephiphany

Yesterday, while doing some research regarding APS, I had an ephiphany. Due to that, I have been watching what I eat to lose some weight, and just realized I don't want to just 'lose weight', I want to eat healthier for ME, for my long term health. I know that seems silly and very common sense-ish, but for some reason, it didn't hit me until yesterday. So, I am praying and asking the Lord to help me be a better steward of the body He gave me. I will be taking baby aspirin it seems for the rest of my life, unless God chooses to heal me before then, so I want to be fit and in shape. I am really excited b.c they are going to have a Pulse Fitness gym literally a minute from our house in Farmington. I am planning to join--it will be very convienient to be consistent with it.
So, there you have it, my ephiphany, or maybe the Lord, showing me how much I need to take care of this 27 year old body.
Oh, and on a totally different note. Micah and I watched Tuesday night's A.I. last night, and I was so proud of Mandisa. No matter what those judges said, she knew what she was supposed to sing and I think America will respect her for that. I think the reason why they were so hard on her last night (Tuesday) is b.c she is a Christian and they know that, and Simon's comment 'That was too indulgent'?????...they all literally don't get it. They are so lost. So, I said a prayer last night for all those that Mandisa is able to come in contact with, that others would come to know Him as a result of her radiance that reflects Him.

Have a great Thursday.

You know it would be cool if a few of us did something together. Especially when we all live close. Maybe we could take turns making a good (healthy) dinner and we could exercise together. Just having poeple doing it with me helps me do it better andmore consistently. I'm really trying to be careful, but it's so hard.

I hear ya. Believe me. The girls here at the office just got back from a Shake's run and I refrained, but it was so hard. For me, it's almost like a mental battle, I have to literally tell myself 'No'. The meal thing sounds like a good idea-maybe even letting the guys watch Haven and Cambron while we all go walk or something.....
