I've changed my activity level again on MFD My Food Diary. My weight loss the last few weeks has not remotely reflected the weight-loss rate MFD calculates for me each day. I changed it from Heavy Activity to Light Activity, which means I can eat about 200 calories less each day. I think that will give me more accurate calculations overall.

I'm still up in the air about taking walks on Sunday. I do bring my MP3 and listen to General Conference talks, and I really enjoy it. But I'm still unsure about if I'm violating the Sabbath. I feel kind of guilty, but it's a good spiritual experience to get out away from the distractions of family life and just commune with the fresh air and the Spirit. People used to walk miles to church, anyway, right?

And I seem not to have suffered on the scales too severely from the obnoxious amount of calories I ate yesterday. Tomorrow's scale appointment might not be too bad.

  1. The Sabbath is about feeling the Spirit and growing closer to God. You accomplished those things and improved your mental and physical health. It's all good.
