Lightening Up

The time has finally come.  However disgusted I have been with myself has never, ever helped.  However much I’ve tried to love my fat self,  that has never helped either.  I’m not exactly sure what’s different, now, but I don’t miss the coffee, the butter, even the chocolate!!  The foods that I’m eating taste just fine, and I’m never hungry–in fact I have a little trouble finishing the meals proposed!  Only once in the past week did I not actually enjoy a meal, and I might be able to skip that one altogether!

I wasn’t going to share this, but I can’t contain myself.  The feeling is right this time.  It’s not a punishment, it’s a reward.  Maybe for just getting to this point, maybe for letting go of the specific motivational factors (how I look, my health, my endurance, my flexibility) in deference to the process itself.  Really.  I do think about being smaller, but I’m not focused there as much as doing what I’m doing in the moment.  Be the outcome what it may, I’m halfway through the first leg, and right on target.

On another note, I started reading Bruce Lipton’s “Biology of Belief”, a very informative study of current scientific status concerning cellular physics, genetics (the debunking of the Human Genome projects), and the effects of energy on all the microscopic processes.  He will be getting into the quantum thing next, I presume.  Can’t wait–I love this shit!  It’s going to boil down to the idea that we control our realities with our thoughts and feelings, I just know it.  (What else–the things that support my perspective/beliefs/countenance are inexorably attracted to me).

Anyway, it’s a great day–42 right now, and sunny.  Also, drying outside nicely.  I will hike extensively today to gather more positive energy from nature and spread my own!!

An Amazing Visit/What I’ve Been Doing Since Christmas

My two daughters and their progeny were here this past week for several days–what a gift!! The kids are all the light of my life and every visit with them is precious to me. Watching them develop into the persons they will become is an incredible treat.

The weather was not conducive to much outside activity–Tue was very cold, and Wed. was just too muddy. So it was a crowded three days, but fun nonetheless: mad-086Tuesday’s look

I also got some shots of Hannah modeling my most recent creations. I may have mentioned some Estonian Lace scarves I was trying to get done before John visited his family, and he ended up going out West before I finished them. So they will be distributed this July when we visit again:
