Chapter 8

I need to write more often. This has become my journal. Somethings are still way to private to write here, but I still need to write more. We are in the season of Lent. It started Wednesday. (2/6/08) I am giving up fried food. (and maybe french fries.) Anthony has decided to give up caffene. This is the first time he has decided to give something up. I am not catholic, but am thinking aobut going to the catholic church for Nicholas and Amanda. I wonder if there is a way to blend my beliefs with the Catholic church? I will have to look into it more. IT bothers me, not belonging to a church. I need the fellowship. I need to be "fed" and taught. I will talk more to Christine about it this weekend. Not doing so hot with the exercise, but I do manage to get between 11,000 and 15,000 steps in on most school days. I need to buckle down. I am hovering at 298. Glad I am below 300, but I want to move down. So I am setting little mini goals. the first is getting below 290. That is my goal by 2/17. get to 289. Then my next goal will be to get to 280. I would like to be to 280 by 3/1. Then 270 by 3/28. 260 by 4/20. 250 by 5/20. 240 by 6/20. 230 by 7/20, 220 by 8/20 , 210 by 10/01, and 200 by 11/15. Then maybe I could make 190 by Christmas. I am hoping. I know I can do it. I have faith in myself, and Anthony is very encouraging.
