New months make for nice re-boots of the brain and life:

I’m getting a new blog design, a la Laura at Radical Mama.
I’m rejoining the Home Sanctuary Company Girls
I’m reading my brand new copy of “Get Thin, Stay Thin” (previously Thin Again)
I’m seriously contemplating merging my SCOH blog with this one to become a more unified [...]

Since I rebooted my challenge last week (can anyone say DO OVER!!), I am down 3 lbs! Since I have about 77 to go, I’m going to claim these 3 lbs as a victory even if it is just Christmas weight! LOL! I’m also excited about the challenge extension!
Happy New Year!!

There’s a lot going in my head today. Super introspective, which is nothing new, but some of the things I’m reading and meditating on, are resonating strongly within me.

Ok, I’m still in the game, but really am starting over (yes, after two whole weeks!). Christmas plus hormones = really bad combination. Catch you next week!

Up one to 208. As much as I would love to blame the gain on cyclical bloating (which is true), I know that I have not been eating as I intended. I’m fighting some seasonal blues and my self-comfort has been in the candy and hot cocoa that fills this season.
And, as much [...]

One of the things that I am doing as part Thin Within is practicing what they call “Observation and Correction”. I have written about this before. I have read it many times. I have tried to think the way I *should* about things. Mostly, it didn’t work for me much in [...]

463. Being reminded that being grateful is as much a part of obedience as not sinning.
464. Being thought of as nice.
465. Having the ability to choose my actions.

I was reading another chapter in “Believing God” this morning. The chapter on “I can do all things through Christ”.
I have been floundering about what God’s plan for my life is. I keep getting lost in the hazy mist of imagined missions and huge new projects and church organizations. I think that [...]

In the book Thin Within there is a list of scripture that tells Who I am In Christ. I am not sure where this list initially came from as it’s just a list based on scripture, but I wanted to give credit for it now as I plan to post a scripture a day [...]

Ok, I’m a sucker for new sites to track and blog and stuff. I do have a MySpace page. I’m not a friend-a-holic there. I only add people that I have some sort of pre-established relationship with.
A couple of days ago I found BuddySlim.com. I was looking for a better ticker [...]
