VISUALIZATION

192.8  Yesterday's weight

192.6  Today's weight

-0.2

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) steamed veggies + 1 slice bread for dinner, at around 3:30 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 19th, and I weigh (199.0 - 6.4) 192.6

EXERCISE

Did my full base-72 routine for Tuesday, April 19, 2022:

1. ankle/wrist circles 72

READING, WRITING

Read for 70 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says life in 1500 AD was limited; cities were smaller (100K max), no buildings above 3 stories, animal & human noise.  Today, it's way different - we've conqured the atmosphere around the earth, and we even have set foot on the moon.

Read for 70 seconds in A PROMISED LAND by Barack Obama.  He recalls being called to the WH by WBush, along with McCain.  No one wanted to be there, BO included.  He says it became obvious that the meeting was called to placate ONE man (I'm guessing it's McCain).

Read for 70 seconds in WORKING WITH ONENESS by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee.  He introduces the concept of "JOY" into our life.  He says every leaf and every moment has the color of joy within it, and that joy links us to "the Beloved."

OK.

Read for 70 seconds in THE RIGHTEOUS MIND by Jonathan Haidt.  He says in the time of Ovid, philosophers did, indeed, discuss psychology (I feel pulled in different directions by desire & reason, Ovid said; he added that he always seemed to choose the wrong.  He lived in 40BC).  Plato's Timaeus explains how the gods created man, first as a sphere, but then added a body beneath it to "house" a 2nd soul.

MY NOTE:  I wish philosophers then and now would focus on the idea that if we humans were "created" (by a creator god - CG), then our souls, and everything associated with us is also created by the CG, including the awe & wonder of beauty and science.
