Day 6

weight - 230 (mexican last night!)

Excellent start to the day! 10 minutes on my rebounder then 30 minutes meditating! Meditation really should be taught in school. Not with any religious connotations but just as a way to deeply relax and be at peace. The religious or spiritual aspect, if experienced, would just be private.

As for being up a pound and a half, that doesn't worry me at all. I know that I will lose weight as long as I keep moving my body, meditating, and eating wisely. My long term goal is to lose 50 pounds. My short term goal is just to get to 224 because that would be a total of 20 pounds off from when I stared to lose weight a couple of years ago. I've been plateauing around 230 for over a year now and one reason I started this blog is so that I would have to report on how my weight lose was going. Being aware is the first step to any conscious change and having to write is part of that awareness. I'm looking forward to watching my body lose the weight!

Took about a one hour bike ride so went over my movement goal for the day.

LISTENING - Just listened to Ingrid Stölzel's piece The Road Is All for piano trio. What a gorgeous work it is. Beautiful long flowing lines intertwining around each other creating a gigantic though intimate sense of space and time. This isn't commercially available yet but will be, I believe, before the year is out. I admit I'm prejudiced because I'm the pianist on this recording but I have to say that Ingrid's music deserves as wide an audience as possible. She's that good!
