I’m still looking for the right WordPress Theme to use. Right now I’m using something called Regal. Its nice but I’m more of a Red guy. I’m also still in the process of categorizing and tagging all my old posts. That may take a while after a few years of writting. Boy that it doesn’t seem like I’ve been blogging for over 4 years.
My birthday is next week and my wife gave me $100 coupon for Google AdWords. I have a few ideas on how to use it to evangelize on the Internet with that free money. Lastly before I head of to bed please pray for my son who is 8 months old and appears to have the flu. He puked once this morning and once tonight after dinner and is running a low grade fever. We gave him some Pedialyte with his bedtime bottle. Hopefully that and a few prayers will help the flu pass quickly.
Gluttony the Forgotten Deadly Sin
So I considered this diet until I realized how I usually have about 40 grams of sugar in my normal breakfast. 30 from Pop Tarts and about 10 to 20 depending on how much coffee I drink that day. Even a little Special K breakfast bar has 27 grams of sugar in them. I’m thinking there is no freaking way I can cut back to 15 grams of sugar and thus the “Belly Fat Cure” hits the trash. Then this morning I was thinking what a glutton I am. Just because cutting back to 15 grams of sugar a day is a bit drastic doesn’t mean that I couldn’t cut out some sugar. What if I cut back to 50 grams a day that would still be better than whatever amount I’m sucking back each day now. How gluttonous of me to think just because I’m not willing to do the diet as stated somehow means I shouldn’t try any change in my diet.
This all or none type of thinking affects me quite often especially when looking to make positive changes in my life. Just because I know I can’t get 60 or 30 minutes of prayer in each day now doesn’t mean I shouldn’t or can’t do 5 minutes, and may next week work my way up to 10 or 15 minutes a day. I am so attached to the status quo that the only incremental changes in my life tend to be regresses instead of progress.
So even though I just had my normal 40 grams of sugar for breakfast doesn’t mean I can’t make a change for the better during the rest of the day. And tomorrow its going to be toast and butter with my coffee or maybe even eggs.
Lord help me offer up my vices of my poor diet it to you, let me my feed my body in the same way I should feed my soul.
