Won something I won something, won something la la la!! I won a book on clean eating from this blog. I love healthy eating so I'm excited. I don't pay attention to my weight anymore now that I'm pregnant but the other day I went to get my blood taken and the weighed me. I had gained 16 pounds. 16 pounds!!  It just goes to show I am NOT one of those naturally skinny people who doesn't have to work for it. That'd be 2 pounds a week I've gained since I stopped exercising. I work hard to stay in shape and nobody is going to take that away from me. It's not because I have an amazing metabolism or anything!

So, I was reading the Ensign (our church magazine) the other day and read this:

The Internet allows instant access to many resources that can strengthen and enrich our lives. Many spiritually uplifting Web sites give direction and inspiration. The following ideas can help you stay connected to reality without completely disconnecting from the good things the Internet has to offer.

Limit Your Time

Rebecca Renfroe, from Idaho, USA, used to blog and read others’ blogs almost daily. Her mind was always in “compose” mode—mentally writing a blog about what she did with her children instead of just doing things with them. She realized there had to be a balance.

She says, “The Spirit helped me to recognize that having a blog was not the problem—devoting too much of my time and energy to it was. I had literally been giving portions of my life away: trading away quality time with my children and my husband, trading away time for serious, in-depth study of the scriptures, and even trading away hours of sleep that affected my ability to serve others, to be sensitive to the Spirit, and to maintain a healthy lifestyle.”

Sister Renfroe learned not to let good things get in the way of better things, as Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles counseled: “Just because something is good is not a sufficient reason for doing it. … Of course it is good to view wholesome entertainment or to obtain interesting information. But not everything of that sort is worth the portion of our life we give to obtain it. Some things are better, and others are best.”1

Tee-hee! :) A little humbling/embarrassing? Well I don't think I'm that bad but you can bet I'll never ever be in "compose" mode again!!
