I suck. I rule. I'm nobody's fool.

Yeah so like um it's been one of those weeks... totally slam-o-rama with work and more work and after work workout and hectic frenzy whatever I'm just a lazyass and I can't excuse it. Poo.

So last week (in writing, not in calendar) was the success of short term goals... very cool, and I set another one for last week. This time it was activity-related: run every day this week. And I did (well once or twice I ellipticized, but there was running, both inside and out), culminating in this morning's St. Patty's Day Dash (3.5 miles through downtown Seattle, post-rain, sun just coming out, very chilly, lots of green... good times, and a barely sub-33 minute finish!)

So, goal is a good thing, however I think the number-related goal may be a bit more the IT thing. This past week, despite the cardio effort, did not produce desired weight loss. It produced less-desired weight gain, at some points up to 4 lbs (at least 2 of which came back off, but which puts me still on the wrong side of 160... or to be more positive, a bit more "upscale" than I was hoping).

So here's my goal for the rest of the month, seeing as how we're more than halfway to April Fool's: be solidly in the 150s by the end of March. How solidly will I'm sure be directly impacted by my own self-control, or lack thereof. Mindfulness. It is key to realizing what I put into my body. And combined with awareness of a) how much mr. dooferhoofer rules and b) how much cookie is too much cookie, may lead to success somewhere in the 157 range. Maybe less. I'm good with less, and this still means 5 lbs in the next 2 weeks. Seems doable.

(Also, honey, I loves you and your eternal awesomeness!)

So. there it be. This month is definitely one of growth, though much of that also on a spiritual level, and that's grand. For the coming week, I work at mindfulness, exercise and rest, study of yoga and the economics of foreign currency, writing creative blasts, and not stuffing myself.

I'm thinking of giving up wheat. I've already started phasing out meat over the last couple weeks and feel better for it... and coffee will be going too.

Holy Beard! I think I just saw Peter Grant on the tele. TTFN.
