And the Verdict Is...

Assistant Ward Clerk. This likely means that I will be assisting with the finances, making sure that an accurate account of all donations is kept and the deposits are made correctly. I had the same position when my wife and I were dating.

Of course, the person extending the calling didn't know if I would be helping with finances or membership issues, so I'll find out more on Sunday I expect.

Oh Dear...

My wife called me this afternoon to let me know that our church leaders have asked to speak with us this evening. I was recently a teacher to the 9 year old children, and when I was replaced, I was told that all things happen for a reason and to not get too comfortable.

We'll see what comes up, but I can assure you that I am not too comfortable right now. :)

25 June 2008 workout

Time: 6:10 AM
Weight beforehand: 357.6 lbs
Length: 40 minutes
Program: The Hill
Elliptical Reported Calories Burned: 554
Rating: I wanted to sleep in, but I had to use the bathroom, and then I decided I should work out. I'm pleased that my weight has remained the same since the last workout though.

19 June 2008 workout

Time: 6:20 AM
Weight beforehand: 357.7 lbs
Length: 20 minutes
Program: The first 20 minutes of TPRU
Elliptical Reported Calories Burned: 385
Rating: I resisted the temptation to do computer stuff this morning in order to do a half-workout. Since it was only 20 minutes, I decided to do the TPRU. It is still really hard.

Weight Came Back

By the time I got up this morning, I didn't feel like I had the time I really needed to do a full workout, and I skipped doing a partial workout in favor of trying to fix my wife's laptop (it still needs work).

Only 2 of the 5 lbs came back today, as the scale said 360.4 this morning.

17 June 2008 workout

Time: 6:05 AM
Weight beforehand: 358.7 lbs
Length: 40 minutes
Program: The Hill
Elliptical Reported Calories Burned: 553
Rating: 5 lbs overnight? I don't think so, though I weighed twice to be sure. I'll bet I get 3 of them back tomorrow.

16 June 2008 workout

Time: 5:50 AM
Weight beforehand: 363.6 lbs
Length: 40 minutes
Program: The Hill
Elliptical Reported Calories Burned: 512
Rating: Well, the elliptical repairman did his thing (very little, but at least we know that it's in good shape), and I worked out. I see that it's been 2 weeks since I last worked out, but hopefully I can get a routine going again. I'm glad that I didn't gain any more weight than I did during the "slow" time, and I hope the "slow" time is over.
