Challenges - Good & Bad

The past 2 weeks have been full of challenges.

Challenges (bad):

I have not had internet at home for over a week (during my vacation).  I put in my car for oil change and battery replacement, 3 days and $1,200 dollars later I get my car back just in time to go back to work.

So I was home with no car and no internet for 4 days, eating healthy was another challenge good and bad.  I did eat healthy, but I don't think I did well with the amount of calories that were consumed.

Challenges (good and very good):

One of the reasons I have been stressed the last few weeks is because I was preparing to propose to Benita.  We were coming up on our 2 year anniversary and I felt I was ready to make that final step.  Even though we had been talking about marriage, there was still that little nagging worry of her saying no or not liking the ring that I chose for her.

Well, she gave me a very enthusiastic yes and that made a me a very happy man.  We started the 1st full day of our engagement by going to church and I think that was the best way to start the rest of our lives.

I know that Benita will be a good partner to help me get healthier, so that we can have many years together.

I am re-energized to lose weight for the wedding and the other good reasons.  I hope to have a working computer again soon, so that I can be more consistent in my blogging.

Thanks to my family and friends for the congratulations and support.
