Got down to the un-attainable 200Lb mark

/

It’s amazing. My weight is dropping faster, I wonder what’s the difference between what I’m doing and fasting, excepting maybe I’m eating less than 2000 calories a day, taking supplements and vitamins and working out at the gym on a daily basis. I no longer feel tired, but the tension on my muscles after the gym tends to drop faster. Everything else is normal. I’m having a Cholesterol test on saturday.

From rain streams to the seven seas...

When I was a kid growing in a poor neighbourhood mom didn’t allowed me to go outside when it rained. The strong rain would create big streams that would turn the dirty road into a river and as the rain force subsided small streams wouls run down the street. My whole knowledge of the world outside my neighbourhood was limited to the stories of ancient greece in a small tome of a encyclopedia some previous owner let at the rented home we had. I would see the streams running, would open the wood door without making a noise and put on the stream a paper boat, watching it get lost in the stream, sailing away to the lands mentioned in the books. Innocence is such a beautiful thing.

I increased my chest press

God it hurts hahaha.

On Zen and Let it go

/

I was pondering this evening in hot4550 advice , I thought I would meditate on it at home after work. Then I realized it. You see, when you do Zen, as a basic exercise you need to admit things into your consciousness, embrace them, find their cause and then let them go. I would describe it as forming leaves out of thin air then dropping them in a small creek, watching them flowing away with the stream. I know how to let things go, but I hadn’t been applying that knowledge to every aspect of my life.
