Many thoughts...

I have decided I am no longer going to be a slave to the scale.  For so long I have weighed myself every morning..sometimes before and after my shower.  When I get home from work, and when I go to bed.  That's just not healthy...in more ways than one.


Thanks to some clear goal setting support from Thomas, and a solid plan for working out (written in my new planner!), I haven't weighed in since Monday morning when I did to document my starting weight.  I know that's only 4 days, but for me it seems like an eternity!


My goals for the next 3 weeks are as follows (started this past Monday):  
1.  No stepping on the scale until March Monday March 15
2.  Lose 7 pounds 
3.  Stick with my written work-out plan, as closely as possible.  It is quite difficult so far!
4.  No fried food.


Outside of those health related goals, I also have the following goals this past week:
1.  Select one bible verse each week.  This week I have selected:  Hebrews 11:1 - "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."  I thought that was appropriate given some of the struggles with organized religion I've had over the past 12 years or so.  Glad I've found my way back!
2.  I need to finish the book "Breaking Dawn" - the 4th book in the Twilight Saga.  I've been reading this - or should I say it's been sitting on my nightstand for months.  Time to finish it!  Only 250 more pages or so to go!  I also have a reading list that is stacking up pretty quickly. I've never been a big reader, but I'm working on it.  Here are the books I've got waiting in my queue:
Wuthering Heights
Three Cups of Tea
Stones into Schools


Anyway, I've combined so many things into this one update.  Sorry about that...I haven't had time to post all week, so I crunched a lot into this one.  I have more to say, but I will have to give that another post very soon.  Have a good weekend!
