Almost 2 months

Well, it has been almost 2 months since I started this blog and also started my path to loose weight.  I have been on my 2 weeks off and it is time after this weekend to really tighten it up a notch and get tougher with myself.  Not that I have been really bad, but I have had a few things over the past couple of weeks, such as Italian pine nut cookies (which I love) and a few drinks, last night 2 vodka martini's.  Well I am holding around 168 now, so I have gained a little back, not much, but now I want to really drop another 10 pounds badly!!

So I think a week of extreme monitoring of my diet and a week still on it, but not as severe will be a good thing.  I have gotten into three pairs of pants that I have not been in for over three years, and that is a wonderful feeling.  So I really want to continue the momentum and shed this weight.  If I am lucky, I will loose another 20 pounds before June.  That is the real goal for me know, 20 pounds by June.  I would still need to loose more weight, but at least I will look o.k. in summer clothing.  I'd love to loose 30 by then, but I don't know if I can do it, so I will set my goal a little more realistic and if I loose more, well great!

The big thing I have been working on lately is mostly spiritual.  I am enthralled with the book, "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle.  It is my manual for life and I have read it three times already and I still find new and amazing realities in it every time I read it.  Nothing has ever effected me so deeply and completely as this book.  It makes all the sense in the world to me and it has also made me really understand where and why I have gained this weight to begin with, as I have been carrying a very dense pain body and my ego has been the problem.  Just with a couple of weeks working on myself with this book as well as his podcast, I am seeing amazing results in myself and my level of contentment is supreme.  Notice I didn't say "happiness" as the word is very misunderstood and way over used.  Contentment is much better and certainly realistic.

Well that is all I have time for at the present moment, but I am still happy with my results and will succeed in my endeavor.
