Day 65 I have gone 64 of 65 days with no soda or candy or pizza or fried food or bread. I have walked 69 1/2 hours in 65 days. I have posted about it on here and it gets a lot of likes and compliments and I appreciate every single one of them. But I sit here typing on this early February day with the sun going down to say this: I have been here before. Last year, I went on THREE streaks. And ya know what ? Every single one of them ended. I had a streak that started on February 7th. It ended 140 days later on June 26th. That is 19 weeks ! But it ended. The next streak started on July 26th. It ended 69 days later on October 2nd. The third streak started on October 14th. It ended 31 days later on November 13th. Three times I did it and three times it all ended. Why is this time going to be different ? God. It is going to be different because I believe in God. The last streak ended because I was tired of being alone. Then one day, I listened to Matt Maher sing, All The People Said Amen. The first line goes, "You are not alone if you are lonely. " I basically thought to myself, "If I start believing in God, I don't have to feel alone anymore. " So, I started believing in Him. I still get lonely sometimes but I know I am not truly alone. I talk to Him in all circumstances, both good and bad. He gives me strength. Clint Black sings, "It seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table. " I now realize that all good things come from God, including the treadmill in my living room that I have walked an hour on for the last 65 days. So. I start a new work week tomorrow of working 5 straight days. I keep going. I continue. I go forward. This time, I am not alone.
