Tale of the Scale: 5/29

No change is weight. Again.
Damn, this is getting frustrating. I must admit, when I look at myself after my shower, I seem more toned. I even saw some indication of where a couple ribs lie below the skin. And some “dimpling” of the skin that makes me think things are leaning [...]

Disaster Strikes Chez Roby!!

Disaster Struck Chez Roby Tuesday evening! One of my favorite “take a minute” activities is going out on the deck, plopping my butt down in our porch swing and swinging for a minute or twenty. It’s shady, the view is great and I can stop and think. Or not.
Tuesday, the spouser was enjoying [...]

Tale of the Scale 5/22

Weight on the scale this morning: 133#
I am deeply happy today. I have been since early in walking Bay to Breakers on Sunday.
Most of the rest of this post is not going to be pretty; if you hold on to the end, though, I think you’ll find a light at the end. But if you’re [...]

New Moon: 5/16

From AstroWisdom’s notes … on this week’s NEW MOON IN TAURUS:
Taurus is the great procrastinator of the zodiac. It can always find more than enough distractions: shopping, cleaning, cooking, laundry, carpooling, errands, paying bills, caring for loved ones, and never-ending yard work. If you are a procrastinator, use this New Moon [...]

My Spicy Peanut Sauce

It’s summertime, which means I’m cooking a lot satay for dinners and parties. It’s one of those dishes that easy to make, great to take and always devoured.
First cut chicken or pork into small pieces: 1/4″ by 3″ is a good size to aim for. Marinate these pieces for 4-6 hours in:
1/4 [...]

The SC&A Graduation Address:
I do not know who authors Sigmund, Carl and Alfred, but I was absorbed by the graduation address authored at the blog. The part that really got to me:

As taxpayers, we adults- besides your parents that are in blissful denial as it relates to your mediocrity- have made peace with [...]

Another Moving Meditation on the Treadmill

Am I boring you yet? Too Bad. I’m working through a lot of things and this is a good way for me to firm it out.
Anyway, Wednesday spent some time again meditating on the treadmill. Trying to figure out exactly why I’m feeling that I’ve had some level of success in this [...]

Tale of the Scale, 5/08/07

Weight: 136#. No significant lost again this week.
Yesterday I chose to do my cardio work without my MP3 player and headphones as a distraction. I popped on a treadmill, set it at nice 3.2 MPH pace with a slight incline, closed my eyes and did some moving meditation.
It’s interesting trying to meditate [...]

Tale of the Scale: Well, that wasn’t So Bad

Down about 2 pounds from last week. Yeah, some of that is probably water or some whoo-doo but some of it appears to be actual weight loss. Again.
Hurray.
Next piece of good news: Guido was already at work before our workout!! (I think he’s starting an hour earlier now.. so that’s almost cheating). [...]
