The theme for today's post is sleep - lovely, elusive, delightful, can't-get-enough-of-it sleep. “Even a soul submerged in sleep is hard at work and helps make something of the world.” ― Heraclitus, Fragments But not I. Wide awake since about 3:30 this morning. Sigh. “Insomnia is a variant of Tourette's--the waking brain races, sampling the … Continue reading FFF – 10-12

FFF – 10-5
Good grief, the weeks fly by. One minute it's last Friday, and the next thing I know, I wake up and it's this Friday. AND i'm not doing so well this week in terms of food and nutrition. Too many carbs. My glucose levels are not always as low as I want. Last night, I … Continue reading FFF – 10-5
FFF 9-29 (on Saturday)
I didn't quite realize that yesterday was Friday. Ok, that sounds silly, but it's true. I'm traveling for work and that's always a little bit like being in a separate universe. So i knew it was Friday, my brain just didn't connect it to being here. Until about 3 o'clock in the morning. When i … Continue reading FFF 9-29 (on Saturday)
FFF – 9-14-18
Happy Friday! I am going home today, and ready to be there, I think. These few days on retreat, i've tried not to get too attached to outcome. So i haven't been born again or made new while i was here, and that's ok too. i think it's been a "Middle Way" kind of retreat. … Continue reading FFF – 9-14-18
Weird Dream
So i had this dream the other night. We had just bought a house (not sure who "we" was, but anyhow.) It was huge. It was so big that after I moved in, I realized there were whole parts of it that I hadn't even seen. So I started wandering around trying to find out … Continue reading Weird Dream
FFF – 9-7
It's Friday again - i have no idea where the week has gone. Or maybe i do since I've been babysitting my grands since Tuesday, which has been lots of fun, and very demanding. Um, as you parents of little ones already know. Six year old and a three year old. Of course, they're at … Continue reading FFF – 9-7
FFF 8-24 (on Saturday)
I was traveling yesterday and barely realized it was Friday or I might have gotten my FFF done. But that's ok, because GUESS WHAT!! I have a new number on the scale this morning. 155.8 That's right. One - Five - Five. Ok, it's point 8, but still. That's 20 pounds less than 175, which … Continue reading FFF 8-24 (on Saturday)
FFF – 8-10-18
Here we go... reporting in. Step count average was 5,341 - which is worse than last week, but not an all-time low. Weight range is about the same, although I've actually seen a 157.something a few times. I've been doing better on not over eating at night. I've been working on emptying boxes in the … Continue reading FFF – 8-10-18
One-Mindful
I've been thinking about re-finding myself ("What? Again?" you say.) Yes, again. There was the whole re-finding my kinky self, which is doing pretty well these days. Now i need to re-find my work self. And maybe my everything else self too. And recognize that it's just an ongoing process. I don't get to do … Continue reading One-Mindful
FFF 8-2-18
So here we are. Step count is better. Averaged 6,882/day this week, so that's a definite improvement. Weight range the same. I have been eating a bit too much in the evening again and need a strategy for how not to do that. (Although really, just saying no to those ice cream urges is probably … Continue reading FFF 8-2-18
