LOSING WEIGHT IN MORE THAN ONE WAY.

So I have been back on the treadmill now for 4 weeks with a brief vacation break of a few days. Other than that it has been 6 days a week and I am up to 2.5 miles. My goal is 5 miles a day. Half way there. Yes, I have lost about 10 lbs so far and feel much better. 

I am tring to lose a differnt kind of weight as well. The weight of stress. This kind of weight is much more difficult to lose. Having 2 jobs. serving as the CEO of a non profit and as Realtor in our community can take its toll. The vacation was much needed and gave me some time to re-calibrate and prioritize. 

God grant me the serenity 
to accept the things I cannot change; 
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time; 
Enjoying one moment at a time; 
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; 
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it; 
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life 
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

--Reinhold Niebuhr

Congrats!  There's nothing like having peace of mind and your body (health) right.  Just keep doing what you're doing.  We all have to sometime just take a break or breather.  Just remember it's not that deep and somethings can wait until tomorrow or the next time.  All we have is today and you don't want to do everything for everybody and nothing for yourself.

Alan, I understand it takes three weeks to establish something as being a habit. You are on your way and I wish you success. Ten pounds lost is great.
