And So?

After the last post, it would seem I would get on it right away and do all the right things!

In some ways, I have.  I've drafted out a more workable and balanced schedule for myself, I've been exercising (but not listing it!), and have been eating less and drinking less (ok, I had a little bourbon tonight--all 1.5 oz). 

I also tricked my stupid American brain into looking at the scale without freaking out.  I switched it to Kg instead of Lbs.  So there's a number there, I don't know what it is, but I've been watching it go down over the last few days.  Yay!  It's going the right way!  But I'm not freaked out by the absolute number.  It's an indicator, like loosening pants and less pain in the knees.  This shouldn't be necessary, and yadda, yadda, but I like it.  I'm also okay without always listing exercise.  I'm going to try that for awhile.  I'm exercising almost every day, and I'm okay with that.  I'm also doing a good job with teaching, committee work, home management, and reaching out to people I care about.  What more can I ask from myself?  I think letting up on the hammer may be a better mechanism than detailed, sometimes painful check ins.  A week of this, and then we'll see.  (Maybe then I'll get out my Kg to Lbs conversion scale.)
