Sorry for the delay, back to our regular programming

I can't believe I haven't blogged for 4 days.  I'm sorry, I've just had a lot going on.

Brandy's dad found out he had a blood clot in his leg.  Yesterday morning, two pieces broke off and one piece went into each lung.  I left work early and we spent the whole day at the hospital waiting to see what would happen.  He had a surgery, came out fine and is meeting with the doctors today to do some follow-up.

My dad also has some stuff going on that some of you know about that he has requested I not talk about with anyone.  Those of you that I've asked for prayer, please keep this in mind.

So I started the new diet stuff one week ago today.  I only eat lean meat, veggies and fruit.  No bread, pasta, potatoes or rice.  I cheated twice - Thursday, I had some homemade peach cobbler my grandmother made and Friday I had some tortillas because we had Mexican and I got Carnitas.  When I weighed in yesterday, I had lost exactly 0 pounds.

That's right, 0 pounds.  I maintained.  I've tried counting calories and didn't lose.  I tried the diet my trainer recommends and didn't lose.  Something must be wrong with me.  I want to give up but I don't want to set that example for my family, to just give up when something is really hard.

But aside from giving up, what can I do?  When you try different things and nothing works, what's left? 

I'm also considering a major decision right now so some prayer would be great.  It's a recent development and I haven't even gotten to really talk with Brandy about it so I won't go into any detail.

Thanks for reading.
