Ok, so any and all workouts have completely gone out the window in lieu of reading. I have been reading so much! I blame it on the awesome book suggestions I've been getting from all my friends (Facebook provides a wonderful opportunity to share recommendations of all kinds). I know these blog entries about reading, books, etc. may be a little boring...I'm sure my garden pictures/captions were a little more entertaining. BUT, the last two books I read were so profound that I just want to "go tell it on the mountain" and beg everyone to read these books. First, Same Kind of Different As Me: A Modern-Day Slave, an International Art Dealer, and the Unlikely Woman Who Bound Them Together by Ron Hall, Denver Moore, and Lynn Vincent was such an inspiring book. Just when I was ready to declare it my favorite book of all time (which is pretty amazing in itself...I've read my share of wonderful books), I started another book. Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers was also an extraordinary book. I don't want to give any details of these books because my synopsis just won't do them justice, I just plead that everyone read them ASAP! God's love is so powerful.
Not to take away from any of the above, but I guess diet alone is working and I am only 8 lbs away from my year end goal. I even lost weight over Thanksgiving (crazy, I know!). So, I've got to get down to business. I actually recently purchased P90X (brand new, off Craigslist, whoop whoop!) and I have yet to start it. I've just got to suck it up and get to it. I hope it doesn't make me beef up...eek!

Thanks for the suggestions I'm going to check those out!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of diet are you doing? My friend, Summer, from Believing Boldly blog just posted a healthy diet that her husband has been doing. I'm not able to work out right b/c of my upcoming surgery, so I'm totally trying to figure out the healthy way to change my eating habits. Suggestions based on your success?
