beautiful wife Dorothy (insert the John Lovitz Morgan Fairchild quip here) is doing the shake thing with me. I'm a strong guy, but her support really helps me! Speaking of women's magazines, who is their real audience? I mean, the diet article had a woman in a half shirt and bikini bottom on her tiptoes with her rear end sticking out, getting something from the BOTTOM of the fridge. Does anyone stand on their tiptoes to reach the bottom of the fridge? The next page had a shot of a woman in a bikini jumping for joy at her weight loss. How do you women feel about these pictures in your magazine? If I opened a men's magazine and there was a man in a thong doing a full body flex on a pickle jar, I would probably not purchase that particular magazine again. So again, who are these women's magazines for??
Anyway, I gained some of the weight back from the cleanse, but I expected that. I did find that the cravings weren't gone, but I ate less. Or rather, I got fuller sooner. So that was good. That really helps with this shake diet. It's been going well, and the thing that I noticed about my weight loss is this: I have officially entered the stage of being able to comfortably bend down and put on socks and tie my shoes again. I know, it seems like such a little thing...but I am happy to be rid of my slip on sockless slipper shoes, and I
like my new style. I was reading that many times perfectionists (like me) will put off doing a task if they don't think they can do it 100%. The article recommended setting smaller goals, and then writing down what would be better about your life at each of those goals. I have lost about 1/3 of the weight I need to lose and the thing that is better about my life is that I can comfortably put on shoes. I'll take that win!
So I am wearing the funkiest shoes I can find. If anyone has a line on a good price for those black and white Kramer(from Seinfeld) shoes, please let me know!

For now, I'll close this thing in prayer, and thanks for reading!
Dear Lord, Thank you for your many blessings. Thank you for the goal to be a Chaplain and your call in my life. and thank you for my family, who supports me and loves me. I pray for anyone who reads this blog, that they would feel your love. You know their needs, and are able to meet them. I love you Lord. Amen.
