Several years ago, I set a goal for weight loss, and I never reached it, but now that goal is in sight. \u00a0In fact, as of this morning, I am within two pounds of reaching it and four pounds off reaching my \u201cHallelujah Goal.\u201d \u00a0What weight loss method am I using? \u00a0Thanks for asking. \u00a0First, it involves exercise. \u00a0In the last few weeks, I have walked more than usual. \u00a0Second, my method includes weight-lifting. \u00a0In the past few weeks, I have picked up and put down more weight than I normally do. \u00a0Third, my method \u00a0includes a healthy diet. \u00a0In the past few weeks, I have eaten all of my meals at home, eliminating restaurant food. \u00a0What\u2019s the name of my method? \u00a0Again, thanks for asking. \u00a0It\u2019s called \u201cCaregiving.\u201d \u00a0Since my wife\u2019s Pacemaker implant followed four days later with a multiple fracture fall, then wrist surgery, rendering both arms and hands basically useless, I have been the\u00a024\/7\u00a0caregiver. \u00a0I have walked many more steps than usual, lifted her and sit her down over and over, and eaten less calories than normal. \u00a0So, if none of your weight-loss methods are working, find a friend who needs care and go to work, or call me. I\u2019ll let you spend a day at my house. \u201cCare for one another\u201d (1 Corinthians 12:25).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
