Day Twenty-Four - The Wedding



I had the honor of being present while Bekah's best friend got married today.  It was a sweet ceremony, and I think one of the bridesmaids has a thing for me!  It was very special for Bekah because she had never been in anyone's wedding other than our wedding.  She was very excited to take part, and even more excited for her best friend.

When I go to weddings I am always reminded of the vows I took six years ago.  I can still remember waiting at the altar.  My best man at my side watching as each of the groomsmen and bridesmaids made their way down the aisle.  Then she walked through the doors.  The most beautiful woman I've ever known.  On that day her beauty was magnified.  I vowed to be here for her.  I vowed that I would never divorce her.  I vowed before God and all of the witnesses there that day my commitment to be faithful to this woman.

For me I haven't done a great job of the "in health" part.  I haven't taken care of my health to insure that I will be there for Bekah.  That's the point of this journey.  I want to be here for her.  I want her to have confidence that I care for her and love her.  I want her to know that just like I'm doing this for my children, I'm doing it for her.  So today, it's for my Bekah that I am losing my butter half.

Today's eating was AWFUL.  It is so tough to eat right while traveling.  I was really hoping to be under 1750, but I barely stayed under my absolute max for intake.  So, last travel day tomorrow and then I'll be back on my normal eating and exercising.
