I am grateful the tsunami siren that went off last night just as I went to bed after watching the unfolding horror that has been visited on the Japanese was a "programming error". Apparently, when they changed the clocks, they programmed the siren to go off at 12 AM, instead of 12 PM (it goes off everyday at noon to make sure it's working). Not funny! My nerves are shredded. I know I am being irrational at times, however, I am sure the Japanese villagers that lost homes, family and lives thought "it could never happen here" either or at least, "it won't be that bad, if it does....." My heart aches for the survivors.
In other news, I am losing and gaining the same 2-3 lbs. WEIGHT IS UP AND I AM NOT RECORDING IT, SO THERE! I want to get a personal trainer and I am wondering if I can afford it...Last time, I had one, I did lose weight and was in much better shape. I think I am procrastinating because I am afraid of working hard and being accountable.
Running is improving-up to 2 miles without stopping-trying to run at least twice a week. Walk the other days. Doing calisthenics every morning-just 10 mins or so-leg lifts, push ups, plank and pilates 100's. I do feel some muscle contraction in my ab area.
Attended a professional seminar called "Healing Moments in Trauma" over the weekend. Fantastic presenters-the focus was on Mindfulness. I am doing a workshop this weekend. I hope to improve my meditation practice, -er, I should say, develop one...I am hoping to improve my own state of being in order to better help others....
Sticking to yogurt and berries in the morning and trying oh so very hard to cut down on carbs and fat. Been eating out a lot lately-evening events and my addiction to good food are hampering my efforts a bit. Gonna up the exercise to try to mitigate effects.
