Serenity

After a really horrible 3 weeks, it seems as though life is settling down.  What I am most excited about is, in the midst of all the turmoil, I still managed to keep to my walking and didn't loose it as much w/ my eating and  I lost 2 lbs.  My weight this morning was 248.8 lbs.  I am only 4.8 lbs heavier than at my lowest weight last year.  It feels good!  I am feeling more confident today. I am sleeping better. I was able to get a couple of hours for myself yesterday. I went for a 5 mile walk in a little under 2 hours. Amazingly I wasn't that sore today. In fact, I didn't feel stiff or sore even after today's walk. I put a lot of this down to taking the time to relax and ground myself with who I am, with my wife and kids, with my God, and with my friends. My sense of humor is coming back and I feel a calm and assurance I have been missing for awhile. I am feeling stronger, healthier, and sexier. I know that I have it in me to complete this journey and start a new chapter in my life. I have to be paitent; not my strongist trait. As a friend and co-worker says, I can't die today because I learned something :)
