Day 13 - It Took Two Days to Get Credit for One

You may notice that I didn't post yesterday.

You may also notice that I didn't take credit for the day, either.

Friday, December 12 was supposed to be day 13. I weighed myself at 160.6 lbs., then took off for Disneyland all day with my family. I was considering getting up way early to take a run, but after going to bed late on Thursday night, and having to get up early enough to pack and be ready to stay overnight near Disneyland, that was early enough. So, yesterday I didn't exercise, but I did walk around Disneyland burning calories most of the day, and I did sweat (before taking off my sweatshirt - I know, that doesn't count). I ate a huge salad and obeyed my diet restrictions even while my entire family was eating ice cream cones.

Today I exercised and had another great diet day. I did 200 push-ups (8X25). I hope to find the time to run tomorrow. I couldn't weigh myself because the hotel didn't have a scale. I'll be back on the scale in the morning.

I keep a small memo book of Bible verses that have a particular impact on me, and I've been going through the verses I have memorized in the past. I've been enjoying seeing how many I still have memorized. I'd like to get from the point where I can recite them from memory, to the point where I truly use them to benefit my own walk or to help others at crucial times. I guess I need to spend more time with them; allow them to sink deeper into my soul and penetrate my heart. More time might help, and prayer. 2 Peter 1:5-8 is one of my favorites. Check it out some time.
