Doing my hike at the park yesterday, I finally felt I was back on track. I now know how important a schedule or routine is for my diet & exercise program and how little it takes to throw me off at this point.

I'm just going to have to continue to be incredibly single-minded about this for the next couple of months. If there's one thing I know it's that if I don't do this now, I will never do it.

Yesterday I saw the most exquisite dragonflies I've ever seen, pitch-black wings and a thin torso of iridescent turquoise. I'll take my camera on Sunday just in case they're still around.
