With scales to weigh me in (432.4# on 2/8/08), I figure it's time to start working FitDay to find out true values of what I'm eating on my LC plan.

Looks as if my hot slosh is 500calories a slurp:
...2scoops (60g) of ALG's vanilla WPP

When I feel as if I cannot go a step further or cannot rise from a chair by boosting myself with my arms to leverage myself higher than my knees (most seats being below my knee height), I say - to myself or aloud, if no one is nearby - a mantra that helps me to see myself succeeding in spite of the weakness of my flesh and the massive weight I can barely move.

It is remarkable what I can accomplish when I say I AM MOSTLY SPIRIT! I can move through pain with that mantra. I swear it is a magical mantra, reminding me that we are - all of us - MOSTLY SPIRIT - and as spirit beings...
