Day 66 and 29 pounds gone. Another pound gone last night.
3-7-07
Day 66 and 29 pounds gone 265/236/200 Got on my scale this morning and saw that another pound had gone. Am now at 236 with 29 pounds gone. Close to the 30 pound gone mark. I'm happy with the progress made - this is almost 2/3 of the way through 100 days and I have still maintained task focus quite well. Every straying off the reservation has been followed by a return to the basic activities of dieting and some exercise. I was driving south on I-5 yesterday, just south of Portland, OR and my left rear tire came off - the whole wheel. Somehow the lug nuts had loosened themselves, and as the left back end of the cars started screeching on the road I saw my tire pass me on the left and then roll into the right side of the apron on the left. I was already in the far right hand lane and I pulled over further onto the apron and stopped. When the wheel went by me, I thought, "Oh, no!" But that ended when the wheel died on the side of the road, safe from traffic. AAA took me to a garage near our home and, on the whole, the whole ordeal could not have ended better than it did. I guess this is kind of a metaphor for maintaining focus about what's important, and for me at that point it was the safety of myself and having that tire stay the heck off the road. Even my little car was less important to me than the tire, which might have caused injuries, etc. I hope everyone checks their car's lug nuts! (As Alice might have said, "What a curious experience!") And that everyone can maintain task focus to get to where they want to be! Yours truly, Caleb |
