Monday Measurements

"In all your adversities there lies the seeds of equivalent advantages. In every defeat there is a lesson showing you how to win the next time."

i weighed myself this morning and i lost a whole pound. i should be more happier - cuz the last couple of months just losing one pound was a long and excruciating process.  yet, the impatient girl within me wants to see leaps and bounds of progress within each month.  i got to 148.2, but i really wanted to be at 145 this week.   i should stop this impatience. i need to be patient and really feel out this weight loss.  if i do it too fast like the last time, it would become a mindless process and i would be back at my old ways in no time.  on that thought, i have to really slow how i eat too.  i don't know why i am always in such a race.  i don't want my life to become a rat race.  but back to the body. 


i realized so much emphasis is given to our emotions and our souls, and unless it is on a cosmetic note we don't value our bodies nearly as much.  what connects us to our mind and our soul, isn't it the body?  without this body we have no identity in this world. and what can we identify?  the health of our body is hence becomes a topic of importance to me.  every inch is sacred, a blessing.  i am grateful for all it's million and ten working components.  even as i sleep my heart beats for me.   even i rest the blood flows, my breathing never ceases.  my brain is transmitting so many signals, it watches over everything.  i appreciate my body, each and every inch.


to the stars,
