Well, it’s Opening Night. In a few hours, I’ll walk on stage in front of an audience. It will suddenly be real. All the weeks of preparation have passed by. Now it’s time to jump out of the proverbial airplane and hope that I’m ready. I’m ready. Of course, this is the time to think…
I’m still taking much longer than a week to complete the weekly exercises. But keep moving forward, right? I find that I continue to build momentum even though it’s slow. This week’s focus is on recovering a sense of Possibility. Cameron wants you to lean into your relationship with the Creator. Or the Universe. Or…
Surprise, surprise. This was not a good month for approaching my Marathon Weight. I’ve fallen into the trap of making plans but not following through with them. I know what to do but I don’t do it. My average weight for February was 209.9lbs. Up two pounds from January! My lowest weight for the month…
I’ve been limping along working on my Artistic Recovery. It seems to take me a month to finish these “week” long sessions. That’s my fault, though. Not the program’s. I am very happy with the work that’s coming out of following The Artist’s Way. I wish I was better at following through with it. The…
Well, January went as expected. In the wrong direction. But the holiday season caught up with me, so it makes sense. My average weight was 207.8lbs (up 3.4lbs from December). My heaviest was 212.4lbs – the heaviest I’ve weighed in three years. And my lightest was 204.6lbs. The Intermittent Fasting Do-si-do continues. And even though…
Happy New Year! I made sure that 2022 went out with a bang. Eating and drinking as one can only do during the festive season. And now it’s time to pay the piper. The accounts are due… As expected, my weight went up in December. My average weight was 204.4lbs. With a high of 208.8lbs…
At the end of February, my friend Lisa contacted me to see if I was interested in joining a play she was in. The person cast as her husband had dropped out and rehearsals were about to start. I said sure. I didn’t realize it at the time, but it had been five years since…
I work on a help desk and it often surprises me how many people are grumpy and cantankerous when they speak to me. It’s as if it’s my fault that they are having the problem. And it’s difficult to not get defensive when they direct their frustration at me. Of course, there are lots of…
Every time I build up some sort of momentum, I have a bad habit of squandering it. That’s right. Just call me Sisyphus. He’s the guy that was cursed to roll a large boulder up a hill every morning. Only to see it roll back down to where he started by the end of the…
July was when I was getting frustrated with this goal. We went to my cousin’s cottage and I was feeling the length of the pandemic take it’s toll. I wanted to let loose. I’ve been monitoring everything since the pandemic began and I didn’t want to do that any more. Or at least for the…
