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.
