Once I’m there, I will suddenly find myself in a new here. The horizon will have receded further, continuing in earnest to remain just beyond my reach. And I, as Tantalus, will continue to grasp in vain for it’s fruits.
I began my journey to rewire my brain and rebuild my body with a BMI over 30. And that was after I had already lost around eight pounds. So, it goes without saying I was healthily (or unhealthily) in obese territory and trending upward!
However, it is my intention to turn down both the pot and the drinks since I’m determined to not ruin my marijuana free streak or fail at my first ‘Twice Lucky”. The long and winding road of temptation continues.
The knowledge that the scale will give me unbiased feedback about my weight and my journal an avenue of reflection about why I’m achieving my weight (and other) goals or not, is a humbling prospect.
Today marks 120 straight, uninterrupted days of meditation. If a meditation marathon is 24 consecutive days, this is like running five marathons! For me, this is monumental.
