VISUALIZATION

192.8  Today's weight

193.2  Yesterday's weight

-0.4

I visualize weighing less tomorrow.

Reasons I'm AGAIN motivated are

1. David's D-Day will likely happen sometime between now and APRIL XX (who knows when - I certainly do not), and I want to be in as good of physical (and therefore mental) shape as I can be.  For now, I have everything I need.
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 22 (anniversary), and 

186 by April 30th.

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

1. Diet:  I had two meals yesterday: 1) my smoothie & coffee around 10-11am; and 2) Traditional Sunday "feast" (Easter Dinner chez TT) for dinner, at around 1:00 pm.  
2. I did not eat anything between these meals (approx 18 hours fasting)
3. I exercised (full routine - see below)
4. It's April 18th, and I weigh (199.0 - 6.2) 192.8

EXERCISE

Did my full base-72 routine for Monday, April 18, 2022:

1. ankle/wrist circles 72

3. bicycle crunches 72
4. shoulder rolls 72
5. inversion table 1 1.5 min set

READING, WRITING

Read for 70 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says the changes in the world of Sapiens between 1000AD and 1500AD were minimal when compared to the changes we've seen between 1500AD and 2000AD:  commerce, military, communication.... it's all WAY more advanced!

Read for 70 seconds in A PROMISED LAND by Barack Obama.  He remembers sparing politically with McCain about TARP and continuing (or suspending) their campaigns.  He was called to the White House with McCain to consult with Pres Bush.  This was (likely) BO's first trip to the White House.

Read for 70 seconds in WORKING WITH ONENESS by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee.  He says, in another way, that we (if we are mystics) need not worry about tribulations or even death if we seek God in every part of our lives:  we merely and simply "go with the flow of life."  He tells the story about a woman who married an excon addict, who was paranoid & threatened her life.  Her response was "ALLAH" and her husband backed off immediately.

Read for 70 seconds in THE RIGHTEOUS MIND by Jonathan Haidt.  He says there are generally 3 explanations by psychologists in answering "Where does morality come from?"

1. nativist (it's innate)
2. empericist (it's learned from parents & society)
3. rationalist (it's constructed by children as they avoid harm)

Haidt finds that there is a strong and evident cultural component that asks "how does culture affect moral development?  He will now discuss  how morality came to be innate & learned.  For the rest of the book,  he'll explore WHAT people should be righteous about.
