The weather has been impeding my walks. Hopefully now we’re moving back into the double digit temperatures which are much more manageable as far as steps are concerned. My aunt sent out a congratulatory conclusion text to our Whole30 group yesterday, as she had started a day later. I had some celebratory pizza and a piece of coffee cake in the morning with my coffee, but I plan to continue with the intentionality.

I can live without gluten, sugar, and cheese being part of my diet on a regular basis. My aunt lost 8lbs, my sister lost 12, and I was down 10 to return to my normal high range. I would say there is at least another easy ten to go, and after that it’s just a matter of staying within the range of reasonable fluctuation while toning and strengthening long neglected muscles. Believe it or not sitting for long periods can trigger aches and pains.

Today we went to Trinity again, first to Bible class then to church. Bible class was taken up with the pastor giving time for people to ask questions and have discussion regarding recent events. The parishioners took advantage of this opportunity. Many questions came up such as whether or not to publicly pray for fallen pastors, and how can we as a church and people more proactively pursue a sexually pure and decent life.

So that was all pretty interesting. We continued to have long conversations in the car and after church and during lunch and even later. Elianna and I went to a church plant launching service in Athens. Some of the people in Miles’ church have been planning this church plant for over three years. They have three practice services over the next three months and then on Easter Sunday they will change to weekly evening gatherings.

Dad and the boys and Elianna went down to the lake to play broom hockey. I would’ve gone but that was during my nap time. Zorro napped in his kennel. Sometimes it’s hard to find the time to write in between the different schedules and interruptions and giving my brain a chance to stay, a little while, in one place. It hurts sometimes because I can’t write like I want to but at the same time I am happy to finish now and get ready for bed.
