Up and Down
Wednesday, December 16th 2009
Like the weather, the temperatures, my weight has bounced around the past couple of weeks with no apparent rhyme or reason. Well there has been a little Lindt Creation 70% cherry & chili chocolate bar. But so many variables are changing I think I may just focus on staying comfortably below 150 and leave at that until the new year.I wish we would get some real snow instead of the mud and ice that I've been slogging and sliding through out at the park.

A New Week
Monday, December 7th 2009
After talking up meditation on several occasions recently I took my own advice and spent a little more time in meditation last week. As it usually does it helped a lot.What meditation does for me is to help me recognize my emotions for what they are.

From there I can be mindful that what...

E...

I'm skipping my weigh-in today. I'm up one pound but this week I have no distractions and I know I'll be back down and then some next week. As I told Kat, it's nice to be in a place where I'm not stressing a bump on the scales, where I'm calm and focused on slipping into my bicycle shorts and jumping on my road bike in May.I've appreciated the comments regarding my sister-in-law; they've helped me accept the fact that she may never be able to turn things around. There is however something ...
To Explain
Sunday, November 29th 2009
I kept thinking about my blog entry yesterday, how I'd written it out of frustration and how it might seem unkind without a larger context. I went back to delete it but found it was a bit too late to do that.Id just like to say one more thing about my sister-in-law. What I realized this past week is how monumentally profound her denial is. Ive never known anyone before for whom their extra weight is not real, is not referenced in the everyday details of their lives and it just left me ...
