Life today

Well I did the not drinking thing, but sadly I did not lose weight. I am drinking again - my weight seems to have plateaued. I am however involved with a new series of efforts to lose weight. 1) I am seeing a nutritionist who uses a very holistic approach and 2) I started taking Karate. The nutrition stuff also involves this EFT tapping stuff which winds up being a lot like therapy in my mind. I have been seeing the nutrition MD for about a month and my weight is still the same but I have a feeling that may change soon as I have added some key elements to my diet like trying to avoid "white foods" (sugar, flour, etc.). I have also started Karate which is very interesting and quite a fucking work out. There are classes three times a week for two hours and they request that you make at least two. So far I have made two. It definitely make my muscles very very sore but I think it is good. I am not used to kicking targets or at other people - so that part kind of freaks me out but I am hoping that will change.

Other than that life is well. I am trying to drink responsibly which my doctor claims is one drink a day (or less) for women, but it is wine week so there is a lot of tasting going on.

My home life is good - still in love and the cats are pretty good.

I am hoping to get some goals on track and make some other observations which are always more interesting than these updates. I have a feeling these updates are really just for me. So I will leave it at that and hope to be back soon.
