So this post doesn't have much to do with weight loss. This whole blogging thing is sort of therapeutic, cathartic almost. Today I was overwhelmed by the knowledge that Jesus pursues me quite desperately. I've struggled for so long with believing that God wanted to have anything to do with me because, quite frankly, I'm pretty screwed up. Today God gave me a song in my head that wove through my day "Unbelievable" by DownHere - awesome song. Then one of my new coworkers was such a blessing, reminding me that God is interested in the nitty gritty details of my life. And I spent some time under a bridge, talking to some homeless folk and thinking about how hard I was looking for this one client and how that relates to how hard God looks for me when I manage to lose myself. It was pretty amazing, all in all. Anyway - so there are some random thought for the day. My eating was decent today, not great - but I walked for 1/2 hour at lunch - my calves are killing me ( : Thanks to anyone reading this randomness and please feel free to comment, or question, or yell or whatever ( :

hi Connie!
Part of the weight loss battle is learning we are worth the effort. God wants to be part of the nitty gritty, and that means here too. So many times I find myself hearing "You're a fat, lazy slob, why bother. You know you'll fall off the diet/exercise wagon again." (And no, I'm not schizo either.) I know that's not what God would whisper in my ear, and I have to remind myself of that.
About the calves: don't forget to stretch AFTER your walk is done. The muscle wants to stay tight because it's sore, but by stretching afterward the muscle fiber gets microscopic tears, which when healed, make you stronger and then it won't hurt so much.
Also, look into newer and/or better shoes. There's nothing worse than shin splints when you're trying to do something good for your body.
Connie Just wanted you to know I'm reading and wishing I was trying to lose weight right now it seems so impossible as mobility is increasingly difficult good job on walking
