I got to ride my bike! I went around a large block. 5.7 miles in about 33 minutes. I tried to maintain good back posture.

I think my scale is stuck. It is 157.5! But I'm letting that go. I know that I am getting healthy. I'm learning about my own lusts regarding my desire for the weight loss.

I remember when my scale was stuck for like 4 months at 172 pounds. I even threw myself a spa day party for the 50 pound weight loss, but only had lost 45. It was there I realized that I could do nothing of myself. It would be a gift of God when/if I lost more, and what I needed was humility upon the loss and thanksgiving to God, not a personal party to myself and my flesh!

So in waiting we learn things of God, important and eternal things.

If the scale remains stuck, I think I will continue the Maker's Diet for the five more weeks and go to LA Weightloss for the additional ten pound loss, if the Lord wills.

So much striving and planning of the flesh that I do! Relax in the water, Andrea, relax.
