So, it's been almost 4 months since I posted my last blog entry. Wow, time sure flies.
What has gone on in my life since then, you may ask. Then again, you may not ask. Either way, if you keep reading, you're gonna find out.
So, in my last post, I boasted about my wonderful wife's accomplishment of attaining her lifetime status with Weight Watchers. She has done an amazing job of not only maintaining her weight, but even going a little bit lower (she wants to go about 10 pounds less than her official WW goal anyway, and she's almost there). What an incredible woman!
I, on the other hand, have had a difficult time maintaining my weight. Not some "mysterious" or "I have no idea why I'm gaining weight" type of difficulty, mind you. I know EXACTLY why I'm having trouble maintaining...too much food. Plain and simple. I have yet to pay for a WW meeting still, but this week's weigh-in will be iffy. I'm exercising well enough, but the eating part has been terrible to say the least.
I'm training for a 1/2 marathon next month, which will be the first time I will ever run that far. I am really looking forward to it.
My wife lost her mom last month, which has been very difficult for her. Praying for her is about the best thing I can do for her, with the possible exception of just providing a shoulder for her to use at her disposal. This is the first close loss of our adult lives, so we're still trying to figure out how to process it all and deal with it.
My daughter turned 9 last month. 9! Unbelievable! Too fast! She's amazing, though. I never knew I was capable of that kind of love...perhaps I wasn't until I got her as a gift.
Anyway, that's an update on my life for now. Hope to post more often as time goes by.
