Fitness

Replacing my office chair with a fitness ball has been working out well for me.  At times when I need a break, I am easily able to stretch, do some crunches, and even have some fun bouncing.   And, if it helps me burn a few extra calories a day with all the balance adjustments, all the better.

My snack fast has also been going well.   I've been able to spend time in prayer, not only for those in need, but also for wisdom for the leaders to make decisions to help those in need, and for the Church to be effective in ministering to those in need.  I am still praying for how I can be more effective, in addition to praying, giving, and occasional volunteering.  The Holidays offer many opportunities for short-term serving and giving; but, I would also like to find something that I would be able to get involved with long-term.

Meanwhile, it's been good to stay on track.  I'm making progress dropping from my "equilibrium weight" to my "threshold weight".   I would love to reach my "good weight" and maybe even my "ideal weight".

This week, I also decided to cook mainly vegetarian.   I made Dal (Indian Lentils), asparagus, squash, and yams.   Hopefully, by keeping my calorie intake low, I can still lose weight with moderate exercise, not having to strain my body too much physically.
