Fat Preachers?

Why is that a lot of preachers are the most out of shape people in the church? Every time I go to an event where a lot of preachers gather I've noticed that a lot of preachers are over weight. Especially the ones over fifty.

I have determined not to be one of them. Don't know if I'll be successful. I turned 51 this year. A little over weight, I have set a goal to get back down to 165 and a loose 34 waist. When we get there I'll evaluate things and see I need to loose more. Right now, I've lost 9 pounds to weigh 170.5! My first goal is 170. Almost there!

No diet. Cutting out fried foods (which I love!), deserts, smaller portions and walking 8-10,000 steps a day. Once a week I have a meal where I don't worry about things. Gotta have a hamburger once in a while, right?

Paul said that he buffeted his body every day. Yes -- it is a daily struggle for me. Every meal is a battle! I love to eat. Period!

I'll let you know when I get to the second goal.

Maybe Paul meant that he buffeted his body every day... you know, like at Chuck-a-Rama. Did you think about that? So you're doing pretty well to splurge only once a week if he did it every day!

Seriously, though - way to go on meeting your first goal! I'll treat you to a buffet when you reach the second. ;)
