Okay, I'm back. Life got to be nothing but work for a while, but that's not really healthy and my blood pressure went way up, so I've decided to stop killing myself slowly.

First thing I did was go back to meditation twice a day and attending group meditations twice a month. That helped. Then things started falling in place. Got the word that Weight Watchers is coming back to do at work sessions once a week where I work, so I signed up for that - starts this week on Wednesday.

Then HR announced a new fitness initiative that sounds interesting. You earn so many "miles" a day depending on a number of fitness and health related things, like getting enough sleep, eating veggies and fruits, walking so many steps, etc. You chart your destination progress by how many miles you've earned and if I can make it around the world in the next 8 weeks, I get 4 hours of quality time off from work. The nice thing is it not competition against others, just my own goals at my own pace.

Got my 7 hours of sleep last night, starting working on drinking more water this morning, and the treadmill is patiently waiting for me. Then it's off to the grocery store for veggies, fruit, and lean protein. Fortunately I have a day off from work, so I don't have to fit all this in with a busy work schedule today.

I don't expect to conquer this fitness/health thing immediately, but every change helps.

I've been absent for a while, and very stressed and depressed about work. I gained 15 lbs in the last two months. Enough! It is May 1st, a great day to start caring about myself again and knowing that I can control this part of my life. I need to do something about controlling how I react to the other part of my life as well. I can do that.

Need to start meditating twice a day again, and going to meetings to remind myself how much the healing silence does for me. I need to get up from my desk at work and take a walk around the building out in the sunshine when I discover every muscle in my body is tied into a knot. I need to eat healthy and exercise so I feel better about myself and not depend on meeting the expectations of others to feel worthy.

I'm taking back my life. I must have the Rocky theme song somewhere. Think I'll put that on my phone, and whenever I doubt myself, I'll just punch that button!
