Sundays have traditionally been our day to go out and eat with friends - usually Ryans, occasionally Applebee's or Harbor Inn Seafood. None of those places have anything I can eat right now, but it's OK. I eat with a purpose now - to give my body what it needs to get rid of fat. I guess the things I miss right now are milk and cheese - but when it's time, I will enjoy them again. Until then, it's chicken, shrimp, and vegetables, which would be an absolute feast in most corners of the world.
I went walking today in the little bit of time I had between church and getting ready for choir practice. Johnnie doesn't want us killing ourselves 7 days a week, but the flip side of that is this: if I take every Sunday and get zero exercise other than the regular routine of the day, that's three and a half weeks I've squandered of this opportunity by the end of 6 months.
My body is holding up fairly well - no sore feet, no stress injuries other than a sore right ankle, which I injured a little yesterday in a small treadmill mishap. The arms are still weak; hopefully I can overcome some of that this week.
I'm overwhelmed by the support from my church family at the outset of this process. My profile airs Monday night during the local news at 6 and 11. They filmed mine at church Wednesday night, so we should get some exposure for our Awana program and our church as a whole. I may have mentioned this in an earlier post, but as Bridgett Williams was looking for a good spot to film a segue, she asked, "Don't you have a cross anywhere in here?" Actually we don't, and never have. So she shot it with our pulpit over her shoulder (Darrell, your pulpit will be on TV Monday night!)
I have to close... the rest of my day at church begins in 45 minutes.
Red Team - tomorrow morning is our "last chance" workout. Bring your "A" game!!

Way to go Eddie. Henry and I could already see the results of your weight loss. You could see it well in your face, and actually all over. Just keep up the good work. Eddie,we ate at the Harbor Inn after church this morning, and I had the broiled shrimp, 1/2 baked potato, cold slaw, and french bread rather than all those hush puppies, and unsweetened ice tea, but after I took the first sip of the tea, I got definetly sick. I had my nausau pills with me so took 2 of them, but was still sick.
I finally got down some shrimp and just a little bit of potato. I felt faint like. I guess it is just something that goes along with diabetes. Henry had to go to Ofice Depot for something for his office, and then to Pet Smart, and then to Sams. I was too sick to go in with him so I sat in the car with the air running, and then we came home, I went to bed, couldn't sleep because of restless leg syndrone, and still feeling faint. Henry checked my BP, and it was o.k. . This is the reason we weren't in church tonight. You just keep up the good work. You are in my prayers.
