I Fit!
Monday, April 28th 2008
. . . in the bus seats, that is. Have noticed on my commuter journeys that I only take up my seat's worth of space. Ooh, how pleasing this change is. Especially as I'm feeling impatient to really drop a size of clothing. It will come. Patience and self-discipline; movement and choices.Also, it was a nice evening when I arrived home. So I tried jumping rope for my exercise. It was hard, but fun. And would have been impossible four months ago.
Baby steps. Or maybe baby jumps.

An F to the third power - Food-Filled Friday. But what a great day it was. Once a year my employer celebrates staff appreciation week. Each day of the week has some special event or gift. Friday was lunch out, and it was a feast! Salmon, Beef, Rice, pear-walnut-salad, lemonade, and a build-it-yourself ice cream sundae for dessert. I didn't say "no" to anything, I tried to eat in moderation.Last evening, I did something new and unusual. Usual Friday I am too tired to move...

Have off from work through wednesday this week. Had great intentions of having HIGH activity while away from work. But it is COLD and RAINY and even had some snow/hail, so I've barely been getting my minimum in. May not reach my week's total goal unless the weather turns around.SOooo, learned I'm more of a faire-weather fitness freak than I had thought. Won't try to change that this week, but will keep it in mind for extended vacations. Which leads me to my other discovery.

day of worship
Sunday, April 20th 2008
Got to serve communion at worship today. There are three positions for assistants to worship. I got to serve wine to the other lay person's serving bread. It is such a joyful experience for me, filling to many senses.There is the feel of the alb (I think that is the name of the robe), the scent of candles and bread. The worship service itself. Hearing service and music and worship from a different location than usual. Looking out to all the people (Body of Christ). And then looking ...
