DISCLAIMER: I get pretty "religious" later on in this post. If that's not your groove and that kind of stuff offends you please skip the "GRACE" section. But, if that's not your groove and that kind of stuff doesn't offend you, read it. Maybe you will groove to it.

Okay, this blog is all about honesty and grace and fitness right? Well, I got all three tonight.
---
HONESTY:
Well, I have a confession to make.
I'm an avid fan of American Idol, and for grins and giggles, I plan on auditioning.
But, whats really exciting is that my guy that I've been rooting for all season won! Which sucks, cause now he has to make crappy music.
Seriously, if I were a betting man, I'd bet against my guy: Kris Allen.
So, Kris, if you're reading, thanks for letting all the underdogs know we can win.

GRACE:
Youth group went really well tonight. 1) I ate better then I normally do, not great but better. 2) We had a fun discussion... well, it was less of a discussion and more of a diatribe from me to the youth (and some adults).
I'll share with all of you what I shared with the group tonight:
Nothing else in the world matters, except for how much God loves you.
In 10 days you're going to forget what outfit you wore today that you spent 2 hours picking out.
In 10 weeks you're going to forget about that petty fight you had with your ex best friend.
In 10 months you're going to forget what you didn't pay attention to in class.
In 10 years you're going to forget most of the kids you went to highschool with.
In 10 decades you're going to be forgotten.
Ultimately, nothing we do really matters.
Depressing right?
No.
Why?
Because God has loved you before you were knit in your mother's womb. The intimacy you share with God, whether or not you want to, is the only thing that matters.

Semesters Over, Parties, Cookies, and Star Gazing (Or, When Birds Attack, Again.)
Today was awesome.
Since, my goal isn't just to be fit, but to have a lifestyle of fitness (including, physical, financial, spiritual, emotional, et ceteral) I'm going to update you on some areas of my fitness in my life.
But, lets back track.
This is mostly a blog on physical fitness, but seeing as how we're physical beings, physical fitness touches upon everything. So, that's what I meant up above.
---
Today started shaky. I'm in poor financial shape, and well, that can start any day in a shaky way. But, lets not dwell on the past.
My last class period was awesome!!! I absolutely love my creative writing teacher! I'm gonna miss her this summer, of course, we're hanging out in two weeks, so I guess I won't miss her that much.
---
Work. Boring. Except I got attacked by a bird, four times.
ATTACK OF THE BIRDS COUNT: 6 bird attacks.
I've decided that birds are vicious and vile creatures, full of hatred and rage.
The other day I was watching two ducks in the Fox River. They were doing one of two things. Either they were mating or one was trying to murder the other.
Since, mating and murder are so closely related, for example they both are brought to us by the letter "M", they could've been doing both.
One duck was mounting the other duck, which led me to believe it was mating, if you catch my drift.
The mounting duck, or the alpha duck, lets call him Conan the Duck Conqueror, was taking his bill and shoving the other duck's head, lets call that duck: Willy, underwater trying to drown it.
This is why I'm confused whether if it was mating or murder. What do you think? Lovin' in the water? Murder on the riverside? Or, simply a bad date?
Either way, in the past week I've been attacked six times by red-breasted blackbirds, and I saw ducks trying to do something or other to each other.
That is why all birds are vicious and vile creatures, full of hatred and rage.
---
After work I took a very long walk that ended with some star gazing.
I'm canceling my walk tomorrow, and I'm going to do it again.
You should join me.

DIET:
BREAKFAST - cookies, brownies, and something wonderful made of peanut butter.
LUNCH - Tuna Sandwich with Chicken and Wild Rice Soup (the soup wasn't as healthy and wonderful as it sounds. It was a creamy soup, not a brothy soup.)
SNACK 1 - Lemon bar.
DINNER - Roast Beef with cream cheese sandwich
SNACK 2- Soy Chai Latte, and a couple of sips of Arcedium's artics.
EXERCISE:
approx. 4 mile walk.
DAYS-WITHOUT-SODA-POP-O-METER: 8
WATER GAUGE: approx. 60 oz.

Fromage
So, I didn't eat great today. Not horribly either. Just not great.
But, we'll get to that in just a few.
---
Today was a nice relaxing day. I went to class and listened to more readings (did one myself) and after class hung out with my teacher a bit. She's pretty awesome. We're going to visit her church together sometime! Anyways, after that, I cashed my tax refund and bought some groceries!
Tomorrow, after work, I plan on making little snack packs for myself. Pretzels, unsalted almonds, unsweetened chocolate chips, and raisins! I figure, instead of always having to purchase food on the go, where there are few healthy options, I can make food to go. So, that's tomorrow's project.

I hope you noticed some changes. I made some layout changes, color changes, and the such. My hope is that this blog will be a little more appealing to the eye. Do you like? What are your suggestions? Different colors? Different layout? Let me know what you think.
Also, everybody should be able to make comments now. If you are still unable to make comments, email me at tommy.welty@gmail.com

DIET:
BREAKFAST - a bowl of low fat cinnamon cereal. The box said it was high in fiber and low in calories. I mostly think it was high in crap and low in taste. Won't be making that mistake again. I'll stick to oatmeal and fruit.
LUNCH - Cheese Pizza. This is where I was a bad boy. But, normally when I get a piece of pizza from my favorite pizza place, next to one of my favorite coffee shops, I get sausage pizza with lots of extra salt, cheese, red peppers, and I love the grease. Today, I soaked up as much grease as possible, went with plain pizza, and skipped all the extra toppings.
SNACK 1- Soy Chai Latte.
SNACK 2- Two bites of my friends spinach and ricotta cheese pizza. It was like a lasagna on a crust.
DINNER - Turkey and Grave. With a few bites of my mom's left over cheesy broccoli.
EXERCISE:
Hour Long Walk (Approx. 3 miles)
DAYS-WITHOUT-SODA-POP-O-METER: 3
WATER GAUGE: approx. 60 oz.
