A New Year

Hey everyone,


I am really sorry that I haven't been posting anything in awhile.  I have been slacking at posting, working out, and reading my bible. 


I have stopped doing Jillian Michael's Thirty Day Shred.  It was just a little too much for me right now.  I have started walking with one of my friends here in DeKalb.  It has only been a couple of days, but I can feel it in my legs already.  I may also start some light weight training with her too, but I am not sure yet.  I have never liked weight lifting, but I think that this may be good for me.


Tish and I also tried to start weight watchers...and it lasted all of about a day.  It is really hard to do weight watchers when you have food that is not really good for you, or small enough portions to be a few points, and also be big enough to make you not feel hungry any more.  I think that I am going to try again in February when I go for my big grocery run.  I am going to try and buy the weight watchers food, and see if it goes better that way.


I have also been reading a book called God's Big Picture.  It is a book that helps you read the Bible as one big uniform book, rather then a bunch of different little books that can be read haphazardly and at random.  I have read 3 1/2 chapters so far.  It is set up so that you read a chapter, or a half of a chapter in the case of chapter 4 and then do some study questions.  I have really enjoyed reading it so far, and I have been learning a lot from it.
I have not been actually reading and studying anything else in the Bible though, and I am not really sure what to read.  Because of some advice from a friend I decided to postpone my study of Romans, and am trying to figure out what to read.  I am thinking about reading and studying Ephesians, but I'm not sure.  If you have suggestions please let me know.


I apologize again for not posting in so long. 


Thank you for reading.
