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.

My Journey to Good Health!

Friends prepare to witness the transformation of the caterpillar, me, into a beautiful butterfly. I will decrease my sedentary life style (that I've had for the past 6 years), fast foods, red meat, pork and sodas. I will increase my activity, water intake, fruits, fish and vegetable (some raw).

My first photo's are already posted from earlier this month and I will put monthly pics so we can track my progress. So follow me as I journey to recapture a better quality of life!
