It has been a few months since I have written. Quick update! I have yet to get on a sustainable healthy eating plan. I could list a bunch of excuses but that accomplishes nothing. I have decided to go back to what helped me a few years ago. I am going to be counting calories and trying to eat mostly natural foods. That means no more mac and cheese, frozen burritos, ice cream, and fast food. It will be nice eating tortellini salad, chicken pasta, taco salad, and jambalaya again. I never thought I would say that missed eating tomatoes. LOL! I also have not been consistently working out and running. The weight lost from the beginning of the year is 5 pounds. It is better than gaining but I need to step up my game. I am feeling confident that could happen since I changed jobs. After looking for a new job for the last 9 months, I have a job as an operations assistant at an IT company. It is great to have a Monday-Friday job. I liked my schedule where I worked 4 days a week. But it was a stressful schedule that was wearing on me. It was also a stressful job. That combo was becoming very hard to keep up. Exciting to have a job in a less stressful environment with nice people that has a more workable schedule. I have even gotten to share some of my Christian views and convictions with a co-worker after only working there a week. The future is looking good.
Oddly enough the reason for this post is to share my thoughts and experience on internet dating. Currently I am on 2 different sites. I am paying for eHarmony. I am not paying for Christian Mingle. It still amazes me when guys want to start communicating with me when they don't hold Jesus close. My profile clearly states my commitment to Christ. On eHarmony, it takes the first round of questions where I ask for their thoughts on premartial sex to get them to close me as a match. At this point not one person has answered with saving sex for marriage. It surprises me and saddens me that people that claim to be Christians don't claim God's call to be pure. They write their own rules. On Christian Mingle, it shows me how much people call themselves Christians but hold no beliefs or values. They don't value church. It also really creeps me out that men in their 40's, 50's, and 60's look at my profile, send me smiles, and try to chat with me. It shows me how Christian Mingle and eHarmony may not be the best place to meet solid Christian men. The world would tell me and some people have that my standards are too high and I need to be realistic. There have been moments when I thought that I needed to give people a chance that don't have the same values as me. I think how hard it would be to get out of a relationship with someone I care about because I know there is no future. All I can do is pray that God has someone out there for me. I need to remember that God can make that happen even if I don't see any possibilities. I could meet the man of my dreams tomorrow!
Thanks for reading through my random thoughts!
