Church Search

We've been here 6 or so months now and haven't made a real effort to find a church home yet. Both of us working weekends has really hindered the search, but we've been here before and know better.  Wednesday's are still an option, so that's what we're focusing on in our search.

A quick visit to Google with the search of "churches near me" doesn't really yield a large result list. While looking at the statements of faith on some of the church websites, there would be a point where I'd stop reading and say to myself, nope, this church isn't for us.

After a while of this, I started hearing the below Ron White bit in my head...

"I was sitting on a bean bag chair, naked, eating Cheetos the other day when Robert Tilton came on TV. He's a televangelist out of Dallas. He looked at me and said, "Are you lonely?" Yeah. "Have you spent half your life in bars pursuing sins of the flesh?" This guy's good! "Are you sitting in a bean bag chair, naked, eating Cheetos?"... Yes, sir! "Do you have the urge to get up and send me a thousand dollars?" Ha, ha close! I thought he was talking about me there for a second!"

Okay, so it's not the churchiest bit, but it's where my head went with it.

We did find a couple of places to visit. We'll let you know how it turns out. In the meantime, where's my Cheetos?

+5 lbs

It's been a month since I last used the My Fitness Pal app. I'm not exactly sure why I stopped recording my meals. I had been so exacting in ensuing that every morsel of food that passed my lips was recorded. I've been using the app for over a year to track my calories and exercise and then a month ago I stopped. With that I also stopped weighing myself and recording my weight weekly. I had been diligent to do this on a weekly basis for over a year and I don't know why I stopped. Maybe I needed a break...a breather...pizza and ice cream?

I stepped on the scale Tuesday morning for the first time in a month and was not happy with what I saw. When I tapped the scale to signal it to record the weigh-in, it did what it always does - it told me the difference from the last weight recorded - +5 lbs. No. Unacceptable. Not happening.
Ray and I went to the gym this morning. 30 minutes on the treadmill and I worked on my legs. Tomorrow will be 30 minutes on the treadmill and I'll work on my arms\back. I have recorded my exercise and food into the app and will continue to do so going forward.

I am a creature of habit, schedules and structure. Looks like that applies to my weight loss\improved health goal too. I have a goal and a solid plan to reach it. No excuses and no turning back.

No more +5 lbs.
