30 grams of cereal.....

30 grams of cereal - really!? Now who ever came up with that amount as a recommended daily allowance must have been having a giggle! I have however, for the past two weeks abided by that RDA, using a smaller bowl (so it looks like a lot) and eating with a teaspoon (so it lasts longer!)

This healthy eating thing actually does work - however it's definately not easy, especially if you love food. I've now been "dieting"....(introducing permanent changes) for 2 weeks and so far I've lost 7lbs. Not bad really - First week consisted of getting the dietary issues right, and in the second week I've introduced exercise! (30 mins cardio, 30 mins weights, 15 minutes sauna).



My target weight...well that would be telling! I expect to look like a noodle at Christmas - just in time to eat to my hearts content!

Here's to new chapters....

So, one chapter of my life draws to a close - I sit here in anticipation of what the next one holds. I was made redundant last week. Kinda blows, and in the current environment it certainly is scary. I'm fighting a daily battle to remain positive and have to constantly remind myself that God has everything in control. It's very easy for my mind to try and convince me otherwise!

I have a wonderful, wonderful wife who is always reminding me of God's goodness and grace when I start to feel down or defeated.... she is such a strength and I'm so thankful for her!

Application forms, CV's, Job Searches, are now a daily occurance, and sometimes it becomes tedious, stressful and....I'll be honest boring. I've written the same thing 100's of times in "different" ways now and the worst part is not getting feedback!

I refuse....REFUSE to live under my circumstances, I serve a God who is bigger than any situation. I will not be reasonable...I want to be faithful (Thanks Andy Elms)

Today is the day You made, and I will sing for joy. Today, your promises are true, your mercies are renewed...So I will rejoice!

....now bring on the miracle!
