good goal, not too impossible. It’s just something like a 105 pounds I have to lose by December…

is the test date I’m registering for. Still reading the books, have been sick and haven’t really been in the mood at the moment.

I started looking into the test again after more than five years. I think it’s time to move on this one. My wife and I haven’t really talked much about this and I haven’t even prayed it out. I know that I’ve been thinking about doing this for a long time and now is the time to go through with it or stop thinking about it.

one that really should be taken care of without all the brou-ha ha. I don’t think I’ve come any closer to doing this and writing about it doesn’t really help much. Done.

This one’s laughable. I don’t know anyone outside of freshmen in college that have time to do this. I’m not going to finish this, so I’ll just mark it complete to award myself for coming to my senses.

isn’t that out of whack right now. This one’s done.

a few pounds since we started working out. I’m good with that and don’t really need to keep getting email.

as giving up because it’s pointless unless you’re going into ministry. I’m not, so I’ll free up some time.

isn’t happening. I don’t have time to read the whole thing. Have you seen it? It’s like two thousand pages or something. Mark this one as never doing.

along with the exercise regularly thing. It will come, I just have to let it.

when I’m thirsty. That’s enough for me! Done.

got the memberships to Anytime, I have been going far more than I ever did before. I think putting that much money into this is the catalyst that made it happen. I will mark this one complete since I have been going three-four times a week.

is on the verge of happening. I’m just going to mark it done and hope that sometime in the next weeks it will actually happen.

no hope that I’ll ever be able to do this. People’s mental inconsistancy is far too pronounced to ignore. This isn’t really that important, anyway. In my mind, fine. When I say things outloud, that’s where the true problem lies. From now on, I should only think and never voice my opinions of people. It’s no longer funny.

is also something that goes along with “stop fibbing.” Growing in faith is a work of the soul, not the body. One can get active and lose weight so they don’t have a heart attack at 28, but when you grow in faith, what exactly is it that you have to do? For this, I have no idea what could be done. We haven’t been going to church regularly, but I don’t necessarily think that’s the solution to this problem. For now, I will mark this one complete. There will be times when my faith is questioned by myself, but I should be the only one questioning it. I live my life the best way I know how. I learn as I go and for the most part I depend on myself to follow through with things. I don’t always “Give it to God” because frankly, he gave us free will to see what we’ll do with it. He’s pretty hands off that way.

fibbed since this incident. It feels good, but it’s not something I should have to work so hard at. There is no reason to lie to someone, no matter what the case might be. From now on, the best thing to do is tell the truth. There are consequences to everything we do and we should feel them from time to time, because that’s the only way we ever learn anything.

a really dumb goal. I’m consolidating now.

settled into kind of a rhythm when it comes to spending money. Now that we have gathered the data, what comes next?

a plan for date night this week. I have called the sitter and she’s available. I have thought about where we’re going for dinner and what we’ll do afterward. I now only need to figure out the best way to make up to my wife that I haven’t been the greatest husband since we met. That, I fear, will take more time than I have left on this Earth.

to my wife. It wasn’t about anything important. Actually, it was about something really dumb that wouldn’t have been an issue if the truth had been told.

But it hadn’t, I lied.

It was the cell phone. I didn’t sleep with it next to me last night. I told her I would so that if anyone called us in the middle of the night with an emergency, I would answer it and deal with it. Last night I was so tired I just went to sleep and forgot about it. This morning, she asked me if there were any calls on the phone overnight and I said no. She asked me if I knew if there were or not and I said “Yes.” She then asked me if I had it with me and I said “Yes.” That was the rub. I should’ve said “No, I didn’t have it with me last night.” It’s not that it’s a serious crime, not having the cell phone with me, but lying to my wife is. It doesn’t matter how small the subject. I should do that.
