I got up this morning and finished my book finally. It was a powerful read for me as there were so many moments of recalled memories. It helped me to understand why I have struggled so much with faith since I left the church in 1995. I’m OK with my decision not to take part in organized religion. I’m OK with my decision to just be me and know that I am loved for who I am and that I have a caring heart.

I have done well also this week with getting on the treadmill every morning. The first few days 18 minutes was the max I could do and today was a full half hour. I shall keep working my way up to a minimum of an hour. I need to shed the pounds. I need to get healthy again. I also started tracking my bad habits so that I can slowly wean off them as well. I want to get back to where I was a couple years ago. I have gained 30 of the 40 pounds that I lost and I need the gain to stop now. Moving more drinking less and eating less will get me there.
