A little late, but update.

Where to start? As far as the weight loss goes, I'm consistant at being about ten pounds less than when started. Time to add some exercise to help that number get better. I also need to eliminate the weekend cheats.
As far as the book, I have a first rough draft of the introduction completed and have passed to the elders in my life to get their view before continuing.
Never really got started on the reading of the certification training manual, too much "life" popped up in the mean time. Hoping to atleast crack the cover soon.
Speaking of odd twists of life....I had served a while as youth leader and youth pastor, then tragedies of life and whatnot came our way and we backed away from that. Other events prolonged that subattical of sorts. But as of this weekend, my wife and I are stepping up to the challenge to rebuild a youth group.   This Sunday started off with what some would find a dissapointing number, but I'm *very* thankful for the three students that I had. Next week, Lord willing, that number will grow.

So that's my update fore now...things aren't going exactly as planned but as the old adage goes, "the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry."

Misc. Thoughts

I have been thinking lately about the many things i'd like to do and get all excited about and then never have/make time to do them.  Some thinks such as write a book on doctrine from a young mans perspective, release a Linux distro geared toward churches to help the costs of starting up a media dept (especially for Home Missions), create an Android app (maybe iOS too), finish changing over the church website, finish MY website, learn Drupal (see previous two items as to why), get Apple Certified, lose weight, finish Bible college, just to name a few.

I do realize that while working my job, its unlikely that any of these projects will be accomplished if I try to work on them all at once. I must select one or two-three at the most- and then set mini-goals to help reach that tasks objective.

To this end, I thought it would be wise to select first of all, lose weight. I have many good sets of clothes that I cannot fit that I should easily be able to get back into, plus I want to feel better and healthier. I started 2012 at near 345lbs and I have made a personal long term goal of 210. I'm going to attack this 20lbs at a time. A little over a week and I've already dropped 6lbs, just by changing eating habits. I will add exercise this week and see where we go from there.

Secondly, if I want to write a book from a young mans perspective, I might want to start while I'm a young man, haha. I've already gotten a table of contents set up, I will attack this one chapter at a time, one or two nights a week, letting it unfold and mature slowly.

I'm not certain if that's all I'm going to do right now, or pick up one more. If I do, I think it should be Apple certification because that will be about a 2k annual raise.  But at any rate will try to keep blogging or vloging to keep this updated and to hold some accountability. So, until next time....
