I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. Robert A. Heinlein
Something is letting go inside of me. I hope it’s not [...]

Exercise on Monday worked both my legs and my upper arms. First, we walked around downtown Stuttgart to choose a place to eat dinner, and second, I nearly choked the living sh*& out of him for not being able to choose a restaurant until I was completely worn out from the walking. My right leg [...]

My current affirmations include:
Eating that won’t help me with what’s on my mind
I want to go swimming. It helps me think clearly
I like being strong enough to go up the stairs at work without breathing hard
Rather than spending time thinking about my eating patterns and why I do or do not eat, I am providing [...]

It’s been an odd week in IE-land.
First the scale breaks, and we haven’t gotten it fixed, so I have no idea what I weigh. I can only continue to eat intuitively and pay attention.
Then I get a great walk in, having gone to Strasbourg for the whole day on Wednesday. I was so tired that [...]

My moods can swing up and down. What I’ve been noticing lately is that they go down more often on days when I do not exercise or write a blog entry. There are those days when there just doesn’t seem time for anything like that, and it can show up in my eating.
At lunch today, [...]

Everything seemed intuitive today. I slept well, then got up for some quiet time before DH awakes. My normal habit is to drink a couple of glasses of hot water, but I wasn’t thirsty, so I waited until later. Food wasn’t on my mind either, so I promised myself I’d eat whenever I got hungry.

If you recognize the product I’m talking about, please let me know by either leaving a comment or send me an email. Email at livingrainbowcolor @ yahoo.com (scrunch [...]

The new pool I found isn’t one in which I can swim. It’s the local lake and it has a lovely park around it. I swam over the weekend, but this week I found that I prefer to take a walk with DH instead of swimming. Next week on Tuesday DD and I fly to [...]

Now that my preferred swimming pool has closed down til September for the school vacation, I’ve started going to another nearby pool that will be open until the 29th. This is also a nice pool, with some advantages over the other one. First, it is nearer and 30% cheaper. It’s also smaller and has many [...]

The time period from 3-6 p.m. is my “Arsenic Hour,” a time in which everything can and does go emotionally wrong. At 3 p.m., I’m starting to get tired from my workday, we have to consider dinner, figure out what kind of mood the teenager is in, plan in exercise, and myriad other things.
During those [...]
