1 Corinthians...

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong

or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all

knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I

give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain

nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is

not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in

evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always

perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they

will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy

in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a

child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a woman, I put childish ways

behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I

know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain:

faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Friends,

I have good news and I have bad news.

Bad News first: Yesterday I ate two and a half slices of strawberry cheesecake, creamed potatoes with steak smothered in gravy and I drank two tall glasses of coke. Also, I haven't exercised since Thursday of last week!

Good News: I did eat some vegetables yesterday just not that many. (:

Health Journey...

I received a couple of emails asking 'why the sudden interest in loosing weight'. As you probably know being overweight increases the risk of developing conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, breathing disorders, cancers, osteoarthritis, etc. I currently don't have any of the mentioned conditions and I want to keep it that way!

As a result I've changed my eating habits by being aware of what and how much I'm eating. I'm consuming 5 small meals a day which includes fruits, vegetables, and fiber. Also, I'm drinking more water.

Lastly, I'm exercising 5 times a week for 40 minutes: boxing, aerobics, brisk walking at an incline of 8 on the treadmill, and stretching.
