Some thinking

I have been thinking about something. A couple weeks ago I started attending a Women's Bible study at church. My neighbor leads it and it has been a great study and group of ladies so far! This last week's has been on Lot's wife. She was the one you may remember who looked back when feeing Sodom and was turned into a pillar of salt. The real question was "why did she turn back to look?". Not much is really known about her, where she came from, etc. It is thought that she must have had some connections with the people of Sodom, maybe she came from there. We don't know. Anyways--some of the questions at the end asked what we held inportant, what takes up our time that we don't spend it with God. One of the suggestions was weight and diet. Have I been so absorbed in trying to lose weight and keeping the journals that I am forgetting to stop and pray about my food and exercise? I think maybe I have! Maybe the stress of that is why I am not losing as much as I would think. So, I am going to be a little more laid back in the food journals. I have been keeping them and have lost 8 pounds since May. The number of calories I am on I should be losing 2 pounds a week! So from now on I will talk about the food here but maybe not as much as I was.
