Digg! this story.
I had a great night out with old work friends last night. It was a gallery walk in the Pioneer Square section of Seattle (the oldest part of the city). There were all kinds of galleries showing artists’ work, and it was really cool because my friends that I was with are totally artsy fartsy folks. Three of my friends are photographers in one way or another. I hadn’t seen any of them in some time.
While I was down there, I kept thinking of how I need to go downtown more often. I don’t know how much longer I’ll be unemployed and I need to take advantage of such things. I live in one of the most fascinating (and crazy!) cities in the world. There are things like this all of the time. And some days I just feel like a prisoner in my own house. That’s not cool.
Again with the diet, I am still having so much trouble refocusing and getting back on track. I need to relearn that when I stick to the plan, I lose weight. Sure, it’s slow, but it happens. I guess I got so complacent that it was working that I started doing my old habits. The moment I gained a half pound, I mentally said, "See! It didn’t work! You are a failure." I think that’s what started this recent behavior and mindset. I’m focusing so much on the number, not the "getting healthy". And I think, to successfully lose the weight, I have to focus on forest, not the trees. And boy, am I a tree person. Hell, I’m a leaf person. I could even argue that I’m seeing the cellular level of the tree…not even the tree!
BIG PICTURE!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, the lack of sunlight doesn’t seem to be helping. But I digress.
I’m not going to eat like a crazy woman tonight, but I am still going to eat, even though I’m over my points already for the day. In the morning, I’m going to get a walk/jog in and get back on track.
Every day is a new start.
