New beginnings, yet again.
Saturday, September 22, 2007
Practiced every day this week, actually got my ass out of bed at 5 so I could get to the studio by six and then home to spend time with the Wife and Daughter before running off to work. It's actually been quite lovely and I have all kinds of extra time in the morning but the falling asleep standing up by 8pm takes a little getting used to. I've managed to meditate just about every night, too. Even went to a Dharma Talk on Thursday. It was interesting but it was from 7 to 9 so I was pinching myself to stay awake and by the last meditation of the evening I was meditating on not falling asleep or falling over... in a group of 7 that would be somewhat obvious. As far as practice (and meditation) goes making the main focus of my practice the intention to stay in the present. My biggest challenge is way my mind just goes all over the place (thus the blog title) and I'm trying to slowly pull in the reins. So far, so good.
I've also managed to lose 12lbs. but have a mere 20 to go. L has managed to lose all but about 3 to 5 of her baby weight. I, on the other hand, continued to climb in mass until I gained (and maintained) a whopping 32 extra lbs. Need to let it go.
