Day 12 of 100 Days
Day 12 of 100 Days
My scale shows I have lost another pound and that I am now at 233. Yesterday I had about 830 calories. More than I wanted to have and all of it was after I returned from a late get-together (ending at about 9:30 pm and leading to my returning home about 10:45). Evening hours are the most difficult for me, but still 830 calories is below 1000. In preparation for last night's meeting, I went up my little hill early yesterday morning and it was very pleasant. Today I am going to go up my little hill in the evening. My son is working on the Hood to Coast Relay which starts today (from Mt. Hood to Oregon Coast) and my daughter is participating in it. There's going to be many, many teams and it should be a heck of a lot of fun for the participants. (My poor wife has to take our son to Mt. Hood today and wait for about 4 hours while he volunteers his time to help the race people.) I was chatting with a friend last night and noted that so many of us – myself definitely, absolutely, clearly in the group – almost cannot help but give advice to others. Even if the person is doing everything 99 percent correctly, we find it difficult to resist giving advice. Even if they are 100 percent on target, we cannot stop ourselves from giving advice. Reminds me greatly of the story about the service being given to a man who died, and as the pastor began talking in a filled church about the great service that Bill had rendered to the community before his death, a voice from the back said, "Give him some chicken soup!" The pastor was a bit taken aback and a little irritated to be thrown off stride in his eulogy, so he loudly praised bill and the fine works he had performed, the fine family he had who loved him, etc., and again the voice came from the back of the church, "Give him some chicken soup!" At this point the pastor grew even more heated and even more loudly proclaimed the great deeds that Bill had performed, said that his memory would always be an inspiration, etc. "Give him some chicken soup!" again came from the back of the room. Well, the pastor had enough of this, spoke to the woman at the back of the room and said, "Madam, Bill has been dead for two weeks!" "So how could it hurt?" asked the woman. But advice too often can hurt us. It can throw us off stride, get us to do things we shouldn't be doing, and instead of doing things 98% or 75% correctly, perhaps we'll chuck the whole thing and dress in expando-pants and hang out at the local all you can eat place. The posters on this newsgroup are doing great! Your numbers are great! Your methods are effective! And with your enthusiasm, nothing can stop you! Let's all keep going strong! Yours, Caleb 236/233/190 Day 12 of 100 Days |
