Blogday 21(-20)_100days: Storm...Friday

Image
  Multiple different days of problems posting here... Friday, was about to go down & watch Maddow but recorded it because our local channel's weather guy was doing a filibuster (his young assistant *did* get on to spell him for a bit) because there were massive wind & lightning in a fast moving storm, then BOOM, power went out. We *rarely* lose power as we are on the trunk line and main street for the 'come-lately' (newer) richest multi-million dollar homes in the county, just 'blocks' (kinda rural) away. Between us and them is the trailhead to access the water storage wetland, reservoir and forest hiking trails (where everyone hikes, including me, for decades when I've been in this state, though less so with SO MANY now having a stay-at-home schedule, so it's way more busy then it used to be). Anyway...boom, Turns out a neighbor's tree went down & blocked both lanes & took out the electric line. Luckily, I'm a canldle burner (I'v...

Day 7: 100 days blogging- no summary, but some erring: mindful cheating?

Image
  End of first week and month...I should have some summary, which may happen tomorrow. In other news, I erred/"cheated: a couple of hours ago. I opted to do it, then my mind went away, and I just did my business without thinking or focusing on what I was doing. I was sensing the taste but not focusing on it. Once I noticed that I was in a mindless 'fugue state' even as I was stuffing my mouth without paying attention, I paid attention.It was kind of like an out-of-body experience, until I consciously decided to be present. The I was, but it faded in and out, very subtly. Anyone have that? 3 Small Victories 1) Didn't eat the whole bag 2) Made progress in basement cleaning 3) Made a sparkrecipe 3 Blessings 1) My sister farthest away 2) My sister away 3) My other sister in town Goas: Finish basement, Celbrate Maslentiza, Code Member Comments About This Blog Post v 3VEGGIES I can relate.

Day 5: 100 Day Blogging Challenge: Ending stronger

Image
  January's almost done, and I usually suck at endings, partly because I often let things dwindle down, due to lack of persistence. I've never really thought about working on / focusing on them, but that might be a missing piece of my 'mental game' in both this pursuit of health and fitness, and also in other things in my life. I'm always about the new part of cycles, but the opposite side is letting things finish and be finished, because endings come anyway. Preparing for and honoring the process of a good strong ending may make more of them and make them better.Time has passed; are the results where I want (and need, for my health) to be? So far so good: I met my Jan goal of 10 pounds down (probably because I started consistently taking a higher dose of my thyroid, but any reason is good, lol) BUT this week I started stepping on the scale and was up. (serves me right for not following my plan!) Even if I do end up a little up on this weekend's 'official...
