Good evening to everyone. I did not realize how long it has been since I have posted a blog entry. Over the last several weeks we have been extremely busy with things around the church. As a result I have been missing my blog entries. I was thinking today I need to get back to my routine. While there are several reasons why I have missed the biggest reason is I have failed to make it a priority.
I plan on getting up early in the morning so I can start on getting my routine back. I can honestly say I have been missing it. I have not been doing bad with my diet, but I need that discipline back in my life. I find myself missing it. I believe there is a spiritual lesson here as well. I believe if we are honest with ourselves that we would have to say our spiritual man also desires and craves discipline.
I am planning to get up early in the morning and to start by getting in some time on the treadmill. I will also try to get to bed earlier so that I can get up. Lord, I need your help in this.I will report to you tomorrow how it goes. It is time to get back into the swing of things. Lord, in my life you need to be more of a priority and that includes this area as well.

2 Months 2 Weeks 2 Days
I got up today and ate oatmeal with fruit for breakfast. For lunch I had a slice of turkey, and a slice of cheese on a bagel with mayo and mustard. I drank an unsweet tea and had an apricot and three strawberries as well. For dinner tonight I ate a 6 inch roast beef sub from Subway with a bag of Baked Lays and a Diet Coke. At the church we had pizza for dinner which is why I ate a sandwich. At the church I did eat one piece of sausage pizza and a small serving of a black bean salad. This morning I ate one no bake cookie that a co worker brought in and drank a can of Diet Pepsi. Other than that I drank water through out the day. I am trying to drink more water and less soda because even Diet soda is not as good for me. Because we had church tonight I did not get to exercise, but I plan on picking it my routine again tomorrow.
I weighed in yesterday and I am still at 304 lbs so I did not lose any weight last week, but I was able to wear a 2 XL shirt today so I am still losing sizes. As I work out I imagine I am putting some muscle on even through I would probable put on more if I was working out with weights and not just running. In the future I will need to eventually start trying to do some strength training as well as the cardiovascular stuff I am doing now.
Today was a great day and I am looking forward to tomorrow.

2 Months 2 Weeks 1 Day
I got up this morning and fixed a bowl of oatmeal with fruit for breakfast. While at work I had a Diet Pepsi and a bottle of water. For lunch I had a six inch turkey sub and a glass of unsweet tea. This evening when I got off we had BBQ chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes, and some mandarin orange slices. I also had one bit of a brownine. Later, when I got home after my girls softball practice I ate 1 apricot.
While the girls were practicing I went to the gym and ran on the tread mill for 10 minutes, rode the bike for 20 minutes, and then walked on the treadmill for 5 more minutes. I then weighed in. I held steady this week and I am still at 304 lbs. However, I am being more diligent with working out again and be careful with what I eat. Today was a good day and I am looking forward to tomorrow.

I will update the new pictures tomrrow!
I have been trying to update my recent picture from my camera, but will have to do it from another computer tomorrow because my wife's laptop does not support the file type.
2 Months 2 Weeks
Wow!
The last two weeks have been tough. The reason it has been tough is not because I am eating horrendously bad or anything, but because I have just been so busy that I have not been able to exercise as much as I want to, blog as I need to, and eat at the times I need to. As we come into the month of June it will still be busy and I do not anticipate much of a break until after the Fourth of July.
This month I am still working my job at Ranger boats, Pastoring the church, helping with the kids (3 different baseball teams), doing a wedding, having a fish fry at the church, doing vacation Bible school at the church, working the firework stand at the church to raise money for missions and local ministries of the church, working with the leadership board as we redo some things in the fellowship hall, and working on installing our new playground when it gets in, Whew! I am also taking my oldest son to see a major league soccer match for his birthday. It is bust and I will need to strive to make time for exercise and blogging and to be aware of what I am eating.
Today was a great start. I got up and had oatmeal with fruit in it for breakfast. On the way to work I went by Walmart and purchased a 24 pack of Diet Pepsi and a six inch sub for lunch. In addition to the lifestyle changes God is having me make in my diet I feel he is challenging me to become a better steward of what I have. Therefore, I will be striving to eat out less and to purchase snack and thins ahead of time so they are cheaper. For lunch I had a six inch sub that I went home to eat. For dinner I ate s bowl of gumbo and a grilled chicken club sandwich from McDonald's with an unsweet tea. The kids all had games to night so after the games I went out and worked for an hour in the garden weeding and cutting back the grass. After an hour I was completely soaked with sweat. It felt good to do some hard work. After working outside I drank twp large glasses of water. I still drank Diet Pepsi today, but I am trying to drink more water as well. It was a good day and I look forward to tomorrow. I did not work out at the gym or on the treadmill, but by working hard in the garden I made some progress in the garden and got some good exercise as well.
I did not make it by the gym today, bit I will try to make it by there tomorrow so that I can update everyone. I am looking forward to tomorrow and want to thank everyone for your continued support. I am also updating the new picture today as well.
