Fatty fatty 2x4 couldn't get through the bathroom door.....



I've changed my mind about not making New Year's resolutions.

To wit: I resolve in 2007 to accept my body. As it is. Whatever it takes.

I have just finished reading Runner Susan's blog about her obsession with weight and body image issues and I feel so sad [and angry] for her and for the rest of us whose lives are so ruled.

I SAY ENOUGH!

That doesn't mean that I'm not going to keep on trying to eat healthy and work out. To be clear, what it does means is that I am going to stop obsessing about what my body looks like and focus on what it feels like to be fit and healthy - regardless of what the scale says.

Moving on.

It's been all good this week on Planet Scott. I've done 2 yoga classes and 3 treadmill workouts and I have a kitchen full of healthful food. This afternoon, I'm going to make homemade butternut squash soup... yum!

The coming week is sure to be stressful though. Yesterday, I sent an e-mail to the partners of the law firm where I work who act as the clerk supervisors and asked them for a meeting to discuss my compensation. Now, I just have to self-confidently get through the meeting without them chewing me up and spitting me out... or firing my ass.

Well that's all for now. Have a great week all!

Good luck with the meeting.

I think you are on the right track with focusing on feeling fit and not on the scale. Man is it tough or what though?

Mmm I wish I had some homemade soup right now. Sounds delish!

3 treadmill workouts and 2 yoga workouts?! Nice work Scott. That may be more than I did last week. As for the groceries, that seems to be my secret to success. I find it easy not to eat out, so if there is only healthy foods to choose from in the house, I seem to eat pretty healthy. Anyway, keep at it Scott. Glad to hear you are getting back at it. And good luck with the meeting.

Somebody once said, if you know where you're going, you're sure to end up somewhere else. Ain't that the truth. GOD only knows at the moment that this want-to-be runner is lost somewhere between where he thought he was going and where he will eventually turn up. Stay tuned.
