a world without shame
Friday, October 19th 2007
recently, there has been an incredible increase in hate crimes in the New York area. i can not tell you how sad this makes me. i want to believe that things are different today. i want to believe that parents who teach intolerance no longer exist. i want to believe that my generation, the baby boomers, really did change the world. i want to believe that we are leaving the generations to come a better place to live. i want to believe, but today i just cant.in this very time

when will we get there?
get where, you ask

today is exactly 6 months since i started my weight loss journey. to date, i have lost 33 pounds. at first glance that seems like i have barely moved the needle considering how far i have to go. but then i did some calculating. my weeky weight loss average is 1.25 pounds. it's on the low side of the optimal weight loss rate of 1 to 2 pounds a week, but it is still more than 1 pound per week. that is great news for me. in the past i was able to loss faster, averaging over 2 pounds a week. ...going the distance

progressmeasured in pounds
in inches
in breathes
less labored
today than yesterday
success
measured in
new clothes
longer walks
a staircase
no longer
a mountain
to climb
strength
found in
a treat
not eaten
or perhaps
eaten just a bit
and you
feel proud
because you
can do something
you never thought
you could
pride
walking
with your head
held high
and a strut
in your stuff
because
you feel great
and look better
