Weigh In

Ok, I decided to become accountable about my weight! I finally decided to lose some weight. It came about in an usual way. I know people wanted me to lose weight, but I didn't want to. I just did not feel any motivation to do so. (Man I sound like a rebel!) In my head I knew all the right reasons for doing so, but to no avail. It's like my husband always preaches you have to engage your will to change and mine wasn't. LOL!

So anyway, one day I found some recordings for women I wanted to hear. Each one lasted about an hour, so I went walking as I listened to them. That took place the last week of January. The next week I went running with Marlini from church. That made me very sore, but I was glad I had gone walking the week before or I would not have made it! Then I was talking to the ladies in church about some walking video clips on the internet, Leslie Sansone American Heart Association, and we decided to start walking at church on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. So, the next week we started walking. I feel so good now! I guess the lesson is just start doing it even if you don't want to and the motivation will come later.

We took grandma Irene to the Maya Ruins where I walked all the way to the top with no problem! When we first got to Belize we took Pastor Cliff Williams and his wife to some other smaller ruins where I had a hard time making it to the top! So, just a few short weeks and my body started feeling much better. I actually want to play basketball again, but we need to find a basketball first. You wouldn't believe the prices here. $100 for a basketball!

We bought a scale yesterday at this shop called American Imports. The scale is The Biggest Loser by Taylor Body Fat Analyzer and Scale. I weighed myself at 10:25am 2/26/10 Friday. I want to record my weight, body fat, water, muscle, BMI, and BMR every week on Friday morning.

Age: 36
Height: 5.0
Weight: 176.2
Body Fat: 47.9%
Body Water: 41.8%
Muscle Mass: 29.2%
BMI: 34.7
BMR: 1533

12 Week Goal
Weight: 160 - loss of 16 lbs
Body Fat: 41% -  loss of  6%

2 Chronicles 2 - 4 
Psalms 73 - 74

* As I was reading Psalm 73 I remembered a sermon Pastor Todd preached about that psalm. He also used psalm 84 if I'm not mistaken. Somehow I had intertwined those two psalms into one in my mind. Soon after that sermon we started singing Better is One Day in church. I usually think of Psalm 73 when I'm singing that song. I miss Pastor Todd and Jennifer. :)

Psalm 73

A Psalm of Asaph.
 1 Truly God is good to Israel,
         To such as are pure in heart.
 2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled;
         My steps had nearly slipped.
 3 For I was envious of the boastful,
         When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
      
 4 For there are no pangs in their death,
         But their strength is firm.
 5 They are not in trouble as other men,
         Nor are they plagued like other men.
 6 Therefore pride serves as their necklace;
         Violence covers them like a garment.
 7 Their eyes bulge[a] with abundance;
         They have more than heart could wish.
 8 They scoff and speak wickedly concerning oppression;
         They speak loftily.
 9 They set their mouth against the heavens,
         And their tongue walks through the earth.
      
 10 Therefore his people return here,
         And waters of a full cup are drained by them.
 11 And they say, “How does God know?
         And is there knowledge in the Most High?”
 12 Behold, these are the ungodly,
         Who are always at ease;
         They increase in riches.
 13 Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain,
         And washed my hands in innocence.
 14 For all day long I have been plagued,
         And chastened every morning.
      
 15 If I had said, “I will speak thus,”
         Behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of Your children.
 16 When I thought how to understand this,
         It was too painful for me—
 17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God;
         Then I understood their end.
      
 18 Surely You set them in slippery places;
         You cast them down to destruction.
 19 Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment!
         They are utterly consumed with terrors.
 20 As a dream when one awakes,
         So, Lord, when You awake,
         You shall despise their image.
      
 21 Thus my heart was grieved,
         And I was vexed in my mind.
 22 I was so foolish and ignorant;
         I was like a beast before You.
 23 Nevertheless I am continually with You;
         You hold me by my right hand.
 24 You will guide me with Your counsel,
         And afterward receive me to glory.
      
 25 Whom have I in heaven but You?
         And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You.
 26 My flesh and my heart fail;
         But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
      
 27 For indeed, those who are far from You shall perish;
         You have destroyed all those who desert You for harlotry.
 28 But it is good for me to draw near to God;
         I have put my trust in the Lord GOD,
         That I may declare all Your works.

This is for Sunday. I actually read these chapters at church, but we had a family over after church, and we didn't finish fellow-shipping until 1:45am! It was great! Now it's after 2 am and I'm trying to wake up Grandma Irene to no avail. She is coming to visit us in Belize today. I hope I can wake her up in time to catch her flight.

How to receive free faxes in Belize or elsewhere

I came across this great link while searching for a way to receive a fax from my sister.
http://personal-finance.thefuntimesguide.com/2006/06/best_free_faxes.php I signed up for eFax (free version not the free trial). It worked great! I received my tax papers very quickly from my sister.

2 Kings 25 - 1 Chronicles 1
Psalms 43-44

Interesting note:
Rhiannon asked me a few days ago how Australia has so many animals if it's separated from other lands. This question was in context to what she is learning in her science. We use Apologia and are studying physical science right now. Secular science tells us the continents drifted apart over millions of years - continental shift - uniformitarianism. Our science points toward catastrophism - the idea that Earth has been affected in the past by sudden, short-lived, violent events, possibly worldwide in scope. So, we understand the flood was violent in nature - catastrophic and caused the continents to separate. Hence the question - if this is true and all the animals died during the flood except the ones in the ark and the earth separated how can Australia have animals? Well God is good and he answered her question! I was reading my bible this morning and came across 1 Chronicles 1:19 Two sons were born to Eber: One was named Peleg, because in his time the earth divided: his brother was named Joktan.
If you read all of 1 Chronicles 1 you will see Pelag's genealogy. Noah - Shem - Arphaxad - Eber - Peleg, so therefore the earth didn't split until 3 generations after the flood! Plenty of time for animals to arrive in Australia after the flood.
