Diet Mt Dew Day!
So a good friend of mine bought me 20 flavored waters and one Diet Mt
Dew for Christmas. The instructions on the Dew said I could drink it
AFTER all the waters were empty. I waited to start drinking water
until my diet began. TODAY I am drinking my last water!!!!!!!!

Jesus the Follower?
I was looking through my "Favorites" websites last evening and "re-found" a blog from Bill Allison. I liked his post about Jesus not being a leader. I suggest you check out the entire post. Here is an excerpt:
Jesus wasn't a "leader." He wasn't a CEO. He violated the "laws of
leadership. "He actually resisted opportunities to increase his influence—even
when the crowd demanded more of him. (How strange is that in this day and
age?) No, Jesus was none of the mental images that are so prevalent in our
current North American thinking about leadership. I contend that Jesus was, first
and foremost, a follower.

Faith Based Weight Loss
While I don't want this to become a weight loss blog, I was intrigued by a short part of an article on Smart Diet Tips. As a youth minister, I was please to see the following:
The best place to drop pounds may be your own house of worship. Researchers
set up healthy eating and exercise programs in 16 Baltimore churches. More than
500 women participated and after a year the most successful lost an average of
20 lbs. Weight-loss programs based on faith are so successful because there's a
built-in community component that people can feel comfortable with.

Blog Your Blessings Sunday
Tonight my dad's side of the family had their semi-annual get together. I think this is the most people in attendance that I can remember. I think it is because my sister, Michele, takes this event seriously and makes sure everyone gets a reminder. I really enjoy renewing relationships and strengthening others. I am blessed with good relatives on both sides of my parents.
As you can see from all the food, tonight was difficult on my new diet. But, I survived, finding a bunch of fruit, veggie pizza, a meatball, three bottles of water and my first Diet Pepsi in three days.
P.S. Thanks to Sandy for coming back week after week even when I haven't "Blogged my blessings". I really do appreciate the comments, Sandy.

"Hungry for Hungary" Upate
Day two of my "Hungry for Hungary" Diet. Not too bad so far. I haven't had any diet soda since 10 AM on Wednesday. I am trying to exercise more and eat healthier and less. I am trying to not eat anything after supper. Someone told me "What you eat after six, sticks". I am not going to deprive myself of anything and yet eat small healthy "meals".
I weighed in in front of the youth on Wednesday night and will do so each Wednesday night. This is an unofficial weight but will help to show my progress. The weight there was 322.6 lbs. which was 4.6 pounds more than the weight at the MACC. I will update here every Wednesday night (via my phone) after 8:30 PM EST.
By the way, if any of you would like to donate to the "Hungry for Hungary" fund. Get in contact with me and I will let you know how to do just that. Every little bit helps.

Loosing Weight for Money! or . . . Hungry for Hungary!
Well, I did it. I signed up to loose weight for money. Yep, someone is going to pay me $10 per pound that I loose! Let me explain. . .
One of the area fitness centers, the Middlecreek Area Community Center, has made an offer. If you are a member of the Center, they will pay you $10 per pound that you loose through the end of March - thanks to an anonymous donor. Actually I think it is more of a fundraiser for the M.A.C.C. and it worked to get me to join. I had to weigh in this morning and I have three months to loose as much weight as I can! I am going to donate any money I get to our Mission Trip to Hungary this summer. I guess you could say I am going to go Hungry for Hungary!
To help me keep on track, I plan to weigh in each Wednesday in front of the teens. I will show some pics, etc. and keep you updated. (I assume you are interested) I have no doubt I can loose weight, but I am hoping that after I loose it, I will be able to keep it off.
Anyone can join and be involved, but you have to sign up and weigh in by January 5. Check out the MACC web site for their contact information.
