I lost 3 pounds! I’ve cut out snacks and exercise regularly. Getting enough rest seems important, too. Mu chocolate craving has lightened up. I did a heavy round of core exercises last night. I expected to be sore today but I’m not. That means I’m getting stronger. Tonight is spin. Exercise is kind of like a meditation for me. I let my mind relax and burn off the bad stress chemicals. Today feels like it’s going to be a very good day. I can’t remember the last time I felt positive in the morning. It’s been years. I feel sure that I can lose this weight.

How I did it: When my friend's sister learned her son had the fatal disease around 5 years ago, we were all shocked but supportive of her. In the back of our minds, we knew eventually he'd have to have a transplant. There are no transplant survivors of this disease. So they lived life to the fullest up to the last minutes they had with him. I tried to be there whenever my friend needed someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on.

I also wrote her a little birthday poem. Then today I found a Twilight picture I liked and posted it. I hope Sweets has a very happy day. Read how I did it…

I looked at some other jobs and if I change, I’ll be taking around a $5000 pay cut. I’m going to make an extra effort to cope here. I don’t want to sell my soul over money but with my current salary, I’m getting out of debt and able to help my mother. Maybe when I’m out of debt, I can re-evaluate this. Everybody has bad weeks at work. When it is time to change, an opportunity will present itself.
on spirituality. Do I consider this done because I am reading so many I’ll probably never finish one of them? LOL
