Had a breakfast meeting and for the first time in my life I intentionally set aside part of the portion I was served.  I could have blown through the whole thing, but I put my fork down at every bit and made sure I wasn't missing the fact that I was full.

5/20

Weight: 328

• Breakfast: Oatmeal with a banana
• Lunch: One piece Orange Roughy with Cous Cous and Salsa.  Salad.
• Post Workout snack:  3 yogurts a bunch of raisins and almonds (too much!!!)

What I'd like to do:  Begin a consistent pattern at the gym again...starting today.

Exercise:  35 minutes of cardio.  I got tuckered because for the first time in my life during intervals, I jogged every time I went intense for 30 seconds.  JOGGED EVERY TIME.  Crap man...I'm stoked.  Tired.  But stoked.

I don't normally write Bible verses here, but in my devotions today I came across a classic verse that really struck me:  Phillipians 3:8: What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.  I consider them rubbish that I may gain Christ...

That word rubbish in the original text is way way stronger.  More like dung or shit.  I consider it all shit...what I had before Christ.  And not to completely misinterpret Scripture...but the shit I've put into my body is just that.  I know that I'm supposed to be taking care of my body and that God has set up his world in a way that we can do that very healthily.  Of course, I'm all geeked on this front after reading Omnivore's Dilema this week.  But still, God made stuff that's good for us.  Why is it so hard to take him up on his offer?  He's caused his world to evolve in such a way that as our bodies change with the advent of greed driven food industry, we can still get stuff that makes us live abundantly rather than slaves to sugar and shit.  Praise be.
