Things can change

I have started Weight Watchers again and am hoping it is more successful than last time. I did lose about 20 pounds but then I ended up on Remeron and swelled like a balloon. I hated that and ever since then my body has been soaking up the weight. That sucks. So here we go again.

We are also hitting the Y more recently, trying to get there daily but at least going every other day. The workout is nice and is helpful. There are good hopes for getting healthy and losing the weight.

Also what is interesting is that my body seems to be craving Martial Arts. I keep wanting to flow into moves that I haven't used in years. This isn't Tai Chi, this is more the Hard Art stuff like Hapkido and Shotokan. It is fairly strange but I can live with it. I guess at some point I need to just relax and let my body do what it wants. there may actually be a reason.

Here is my form for yesterday, containing the food and the exercise. This is how I am currently tracking the points. Enjoy.

So things are starting to look good on this end at least in terms of getting started on both weight loss and exercise. Cindy is thinking of doing the Couch to 5k program and that sounds like it could be fun. I'll let you know how that is going.

The biggest thing I need to work on now is Spirit stuff. I am working on Jobs, getting published and the like but my Spirit work needs help. I do meditate some at the Y while I am in the steam room. I find it nice and relaxing. I will try to incorporate more of that into things.

Anyway... thanks for listening.
