trying to write a perfect blog and loose some weight...YEAH GOD

this is a copy of my first blog entry EVER, back in august of last year. i thought it noteworthy since i am 50 lbs lighter than i was when i wrote this.

ok, so i had these grandiose ideas for this blog deal.
i will write great things that might start a revolution and change the entire world, or at least cute little bit of encouragement for someone.
i read erics stuff and i'm like "man, this stuff is good, i want to do it too". i mean, there has been times in the past where a pen in my hand hit the paper and stuff came out that changed my life, so it cant be that difficult, right? i can do this.
so while sitting at the desk of my, once a week, and only job, i got out my notebook to write (blog) and ............. nothing. i told eric later when i got home about my lack of inspiration mixed with my excitement to write my first blog, and his reply was to write about my day. i said, out loud, that i didn't think anyone was interested in the boring events of my day.
perhaps what came next, happened only so i would have something to write about, but i wish i still didn't.
a little later, i jumped on the scale to find out, that, the weight i thought i had recently lost, was found. i need to explain a little with that. for a month we have walked everyday for 40 minutes, consistently. we've prayed about loosing weight. we have cut many things from our diet and i routinely feel hunger pains at night.
i mean, i have to shower double or triple the about of times a week i used to, (from sweating while exercising) which, cost time, energy, and money in soap, shampoo, laundry detergent, wear and tear on tennis shoes, bras, socks, and underwear, you get the gist. its a big commitment. hard work. so when i discovered that after a month of this craziness, i was back to my original weight, i lost it.

note: shortly after this blog entry our friends with whom we pray, put their hands on me and asked in the name of Jesus for me to loose weight.
