Jitters

Tonight is the night. It’s the big show for our choir (Vocal Point). We’ve been working towards this night since mid-January. And I’m nervous as heck! Why? I don’t know. I don’t normally get nervous before a play. Usually, I’ve worked on my lines and know them. The play has been rehearsed many times. But…

Artistic Rehab Check-in #6

This week focuses on cultivating your feelings of abundance. You don’t have to be rich or in the black to be able to feel wealthy. Sometimes it’s about having an occasional treat that makes you feel well off. What does luxury mean to you? For some people, it’s buying a horse. For others, it’s getting…

March 2023 Mile Marker

March was a better month than February. The weight pendulum has started swinging the other way. And I think it was just reminding myself not to snack after 9pm that had the biggest impact this month. Let’s be clear: It didn’t always stop me from snacking. But I managed to reduce the snacking. My average…

Harvey’s Here!

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…

February 2023 Mile Marker

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…

Artistic Rehab Check-in #4

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…

January 2023 Mile Marker

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…
