Losing

Losing weight that is! I started a new class at the gym called body sculpting and it is like the weight is melting off me. In a week I lost 2.5 pounds! I am super excited. I am making a new goal each time I reach one. I just reached my first one that I've been trying to reach for months! So I just set a new one. It will feel weird to see that number on the scale again. I really feel like I can do this. I signed up for loseit.com and it is just a basic budget of calories. I love it. It is part of the reason this is working. I was doing weight watchers but I felt like I was eating too much to lose weight and it wasn't really coming off very fast. Like less than half a pound a week. I will probably go back but I needed to change it up for a minute. I know weight watchers works but it is expensive and loseit.com is free. =) I already pay for the gym. There is only so much I am willing to pay to lose this weight. lol. BUT it is going well so no reason to complain!

Just finished mockingjay, the third in the series The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I recommend this trilogy to EVERYONE! It was so interesting. I loved it. I am currently reading two non-fiction books right now. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and Fallen by Lauren Kate. I am enjoying JA and I've never read one of hers before so it is on my list. I bought Fallen because it was on sale at Barnes and Noble. It is just EH so far. I knew that my luck with awesome books would eventually run out. =D Hopefully it will get better. It just isn't a page turner like Harry Potter or the Hunger Games. I am only on chapter 6 so hopefully it will pick up soon.
I am also reading 2 non-fiction books. Mere Christianity and To Live is Christ. I am taking my time on these so that I can soak in as much info as possible. I am trying to read a chapter of each a night. I love the study on Paul. It is interesting to me. It is a good reminder of things that I've forgotten. She also has some very insightful things to say too. I love Beth Moore's style for sure. Mere Christianity was hard for me to get in to because it seems like CS Lewis likes to babble. I am now on chapter 7 and it is getting very interesting. I am enjoying it and I am glad that I got past those first few chapters. Although, the first few chapters have left their mark on my faith. I find myself thinking about it a lot in relation to how I've always looked at God. I like his logic. I just read a part last night about how people just want to fall for the first lie ever told...that we all want to be our own God. That seems to be what I've kind of had on my heart for awhile now. I mean it isn't just the religions who claim that you can become like God if you are good enough at their religion (first sign a religion is false btw) but that probably there is a little of that in all of us. It can take many forms. I just loved it. I like when I read something that verbalizes my thoughts that I can't verbalize myself.
