Day 19

You may have noticed that I had no blog entry yesterday. I left my house at 5:50am, and got home around 9:30pm. I could have stayed up real late and exercised, but I made the decision that sometimes life gets in the way of our commitments, and if something had to go, it was this one. It was for a good cause, though. I spent the evening out to dinner and Christmas shopping with my wife. We had a great time, and I in no way wanted to cut it short because I had to go home earlier to exercise, especially since I have been doing a good job with this.

Today I weighed 156.8 pounds. I ate a great chipotle lime shrimp salad for dinner. I took a short run, did some push-ups, and spent another great evening with my wife - the second night in a row to have dinner and Christmas shopping without the kids, thanks to my parents. It is so wonderful to spend time with my wife, but today we got home in enough time for a short work out.

'Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it."' Isaiah 30:21
