Learning to Stop and Savor

First, I am glad to say that I discovered I had not gained as much as I thought this past year (well, since June, which was the last time I checked into my online journal. Yes, I have an online food and weight journal.) Anyway, I am still five pounds less than my original check in weight from last spring (I thought I weighed less because of the surgery.) So, that's not bad.

However, I'm five or six pounds heavier then when I stopped keeping track. I guess I caught myself just in time! I am starting to feel like I am getting back into it, waking up earlier, feeling more into exercising (including walking, which I have missed).

And savoring more. Food, mainly, but even those extras like wine. I had a glass with just a little cheese, and really enjoyed it. I took my time, and experienced it, which is what I used to do with my weekend wine and cheese - experience it.

Sort of like life, I guess. It goes by too fast - much better if you take your time, savor everything (even the gray cold weather days!) and just fully experience it.
