"When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us." ~Alexander Graham Bell
Diary:
D: bowl of cereal early snack - salmon patties and ramen later
---------
B: eggs and sausage
S: protien bar
L: homemade chili, xs, vitamins
S: swiss cheese and turkey
G: eliptical 1.84 miles, 377+ calories, walk 1 mile, sauna (increased 1 minute on elliptical for next4 weeks. now at 21:00. I will keep increasing until I get to 30 minutes. by then I will be already into my 5K training program.)
Notes:
The dry sauna at the gym is interesting. At the end of a workout, it is a warm, sweaty, quiet place to relax and meditate. I feel very proud of getting this far, however when I look down at myself, I see a fat pig. I don't feel like a fat pig, (what pig runs 1.84 miles on an elliptical machine?) but I see a huge gut and pasty pink skin, like a big. Damn. I should be thinner.
I hope that all this work and habitual routine is not going to be a huge let down, and I will be a fat pig my whole life, regardless of my own efforts. It is very frustrating, how slow things are.
The other thought I had in the sauna was "I wonder if the chinese buffet and chinese take-out places are still in business?" Maybe they have all closed shop and gone to another environment. I haven't been in a chinese restaurant in 3 and a half months, so I imagine a group of chinese restaurant owners meeting is some back room discussing what they are going to do and the loss of revenues for the first part of this year. They are all scratching their heads wondering what can be done to turn this bad fortune around.
Woah, maybe the sauna heat is getting to my head. I will step out and take a shower.
more later...

You are definitely getting somewhere. You are making progress and you know you can do it.hbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb77777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777777779
And there is the proof that my cat agrees. Keep on keeping on. I know the temptation and the feelings associated with a good pigout at the Chinese buffet, but they will survive without us.
The progress I read about on this blog - the goal setting especially, is part of the inspiration for getting around to finishing the GUH covers CD.
