jianantonicI'm not commenting on the elections. I'm disappointed in lots of the results but nothing really shocks me. I'm hunkered down for plenty of bullshit, but I'm going to keep living my life the way I live it no matter who's in office. I'd love to live it with free healthcare, though. Anyway.
I made a good choice to go back to Weight Watchers, and I picked a good night to do it. A lot of times the topics there aren't really interesting to me, but I sit through the meeting for the group therapy of celebrations and commiserations at the end. Tonight we talked about metabolism, and I actually learned some things I didn't know and plan to apply to my health approach. I also learned about a lot of myths, and I'll work on getting them out of my mind so they don't stop me from making the best decisions. Anyway it was an interesting meeting.
I am officially 3.6 pounds above the goal weight I set the first time I joined, but if I lose those, I'll be back to Lifetime Member (free) status. I'd like to think I can do it in a week or two. I tracked my food and exercise today and I'd like to think I'll stick with it for the week, and go back to the meeting again next week. I think I can... :) Officially, my goal is to lose 3.6 pounds and be back at my original goal weight. More than that, though, I'd like to just be happy with my body again. I'm getting there. I'm really proud of the work I've done the past week, and I intend to keep it up. Weight Watchers just gives me one more angle of accountability. Livejournal is another. The mirror is another. I have four weeks until my next bridge tournament (longest hiatus ever!), and I think it's reasonably possible to think that I can be pretty happy with myself by then.
I'm optimistic. Today was a good day. Except at the polls. But I'm trying not to think about that right now.
Peace.
