Way to go!!!
I just checked out your weight loss blog and think that what you have accomplished so far is great. Congratulations on your first century. I did my first half century on Sunday and woke up with the flu on Monday - no wonder it was SO hard!!!

I copied this off of your blog:
THROW OFF everything that HINDERS and the sin that so easily entangles, and RUN with PERSEVERANCE the RACE marked out for me. Hebrews 12:1

This is the very address of the scripture that started all consistent determination for weight loss for me. I so easily started strong with dieting and then flopped like a fish. If you don't have your sights on the end product - the finish of the race - then there will be no consistency, so discipline, and no determination. It really is the middle of the race (or diet, or century) that gets us to the end. That is where we are tested, tried, and refined. Physically and spiritually speaking. It is a great anchor to hold to.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Your wife must be very proud of you! You must be very proud of you, too!
