Edit: forgot to mention, I decided to check the scale again this morning: down to 137.4! that's 0.6 lbs less than yesterday!
ODB was about perspective today... when we think our problems are sooo big because they're so close to us, they block our view of God and make us perceive Him as farther away and not as big as our problems, or big enough to tackle them. Like a bird, your problem(s) are on a windowsill... you see the mountain in the background (God) but since the bird is closer, the mountain seems so small.
Continuing to pray that God be in my head today :-) He has a funny way of keeping my perspective in check.
Here's to the continued peeling off the old self. I now see my soul as a flower: in order for it to grow, I need to water it. What better way to make it grow than by watering it with God's words, the water of life! More and more has fallen into place lately... in the last year or so, I can't honestly say I have been watering my soul, my flower. I hadn't been doing ANYTHING.
No water = no growth!

Today's Workouts: I did like 40 minutes of Tae Bo... I just really couldn't get into it so I decided to take today off, sort of... I mean instead of working out for 90 minutes, 40 minutes made me happy :-) my right hip kind of hurts so I think it'll do me good :-)
