A long absence

Yes, it's been over six months since I last bothered to post.

It's not that I haven't thought about it, I just haven't done it.

My weight remains steady between 200 and 210, I can't seem to get the exercise and the eating to be together. Either I'm eating too much or not exercising enough.

My red letter day was 15 April 2008, when, at the age of 47 I actually ran 1 mile, yes 1 mile. You would have thought I'd won a gold medal. I was proud of myself beyond belief. I have also been struggling with being in an exercise 'funk' since then. I don't quite know what it up with that.

I can work out for 3 or 4 days and then stop, abruptly, for no good reason. I've become addicted to overtime and being pretty damn lazy I guess. There was a two or three week period earlier this summer when I didn't go to the gym at all.

That seems to be changing as I made it four times last week and three times so far this week if I can just keep it up.

My food seems to have cleaned up a bit. I am aware I am a food addict and that seems to help tremendously.

I take the first three steps every morning and remember above all I am NOT eating to sooth my nerves, to feel better or for the taste. I am eating to sustain my life, period.
