VISUALIZATION

194.6  Yesterday's weight

194.6  Today's weight

-0.0

I visualize weighing less tomorrow.

I visualize weighing less tomorrow, through:

1. Eating only 2 meals every day:  1) Smoothie at 10am-11am, and 2) Dinner at 4pm-5pm.
2. NOT eating anything between meals.
3. Exercising every day

Reasons I'm AGAIN motivated are

1. David's D-Day will likely happen sometime between now and APRIL 11, and I want to be in as good of physical (and therefore mental) shape as I can be.
2. George tells me that if a person can stand on one foot for X seconds/minutes, then s/he will likely live longer.
3. I feel better overall when I'm doing my exercises regularly

So, if I lose a pound every 1-2 days, I should be down to approx. 190 by April 11th.

Here's how I've done during the last 24 hours:

1. Yesterday, I had only 2 meals:  1) smoothie & coffee at 10-11am, and 2) Steamed veggies, w/toast dinner at 4pm
2. I had NOTHING between these meals.
3. I exercised yesterday morning, and I exercised this morning (see below)
4. It's April 5th, and I still weigh (199.0 - 4.4 ) 194.6

READING, WRITING

Read for 70 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says the Nazis were distinct from 3)EVOLUTIONARY HUMANISM in that they believed that humanity would (could) be so diluted of its best state (by mixing races), that it could degenerate into something subhuman.  Therefore, no mix, and get rid of the side shows.  It is a struggle to do so, but....... "The meaning of life is to struggle."

I, in contrast, do not believe that at all.  In fact, humanity is better served to evolve physically AND socially.  Nazis thought to eliminate anything that stood in the way of supreme, pure evolution of humanity.  If they thought that "life is struggle,"  what would they then call life after they arrived?  No more struggle, hence no more meaning of life.

Read for 70 seconds in A PROMISED LAND by Barack Obama.  He recalls living in Chicago & getting out of the housing bubble there, just before things began to go south.  He discussed the nuts and bolts of the dire situation with a friend.

MY NOTE:  I kept paying my mortgage, but also added a 10-year LOE which was SOOOOOO easy to get from WFB.  I used it up over several years, and now I'm paying it back, wih a fairly low interest rate (5%), but it's hurting me as I contemplate a move - sale of the property.  At any rate, I weathered the storm of the pre-2008 disaster brought on by the RE debacle.

Read for 70 seconds in WORKING WITH ONENESS by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee.  He says that we should be focused on SPIRITUAL DISCRIMINATION.  By that, he means that we should be aware that the forces of darkenss in the world are active, and do not like us to confront them; rather, we should subvert them.  Sneak in the back door.  There is no rule book or written guide.  We must simply have the trust in God that this will work.  IOW, we should let go.

Read for 70 seconds in THE RIGHTEOUS MIND by Jonathan Haidt.  He says, in his studies of anthropology, he noted a distinct difference between the more "advanced" societies of Europe and North America, and the less "advanced" tribes in Africa.  The tribe he uses to illustrate is focused on what people can and cannot eat, and how those rules are a significant part of their moral code.  They have kept these mores and have not expected any other tribes to adopt them.  The modern-day West, OTOH, have thinned out and stripped their codes to a more dilluted code of morality.  (He recalls how the OT Hebrew codes were far more stringent and focused on food and sex and relationships than we are today).

Read for 1+ pages in AN AMERICAN FAMILY by Jon and Michael Galluccio.👌

Read for 1+ pages in THE PERSIAN BOY by Mary Renault.👌 

**********

Keeping up now for 8 days running.  I'm not sure if it'll make a REAL difference when it comes to being prepared for April 11th.  But we'll see.

I do feel better physically.  Today, I'm sorely tempted to break my 8 day diet, but I will not.

So
