Yeah, yeah!

I find that excuses are no good; nobody wants to hear them and more especially nobody really cares if the excuses are to your own detriment and not to theirs. When it is all said and done, self conservation is the rule and sacrifice is the exception. I believe that is why Jesus, Ghandi and Martin Luther King JR are such significant figures in history; just to name a few.

So here I am, again failing to continue progressing in my goal to lose weight. I've not incorporated the gym into my routine. I almost hate that I'm not thin naturally or rather that I've eaten enough to put me in a state of being unnaturally unhealthy. I ask that those who read this blog help to keep me accountable. I will have a progress report on Saturday; right now, I fear the results of the scale's readings.

I spent a little time talking to my dad on Saturday; good conversation full of sage advice from a sound reliable source. Life, as he described is a collection of opportunities that we embrace or walk away from. I walked away from one this weekend. When I think about, I believe my fear of the unknown and failing to adequately prepare left me feeling nauseated and uncomfortable. I did not take into account the amount of commitment that was required - with that giving up was unacceptable, but expected when a decision was made void of consulting God through prayer. I hear all the time that we ask God to bless our will instead of asking God to bless us/me to do His will.
