Good morning, everyone!

Hooray for Team Green! 

I have to admit, though, I haven't logged my food for the last two days due to some kind of inertia.   Probably related to the cold - single digits here too - and my tooth problems.  I finally had a root canal finished Thursday afternoon.  I had to go to a specialist after my dentist tried and couldn't finish it last week.   I didn't eat too badly though since there weren't many temptations in the house.  Back on track today with every bit of breakfast logged in and supper already planned.

I hope everyone has a great day.  Stay warm!

r4eboxer-

Don't dispair, it'll come.  I know 'cause I lost 50 pounds a few years ago (before gaining it back to the pound).  I started eating healthy again on December 25, 2008.  I have over 100 pounds I should lose.  The first week I lost 5 pounds, the second week 4 pounds.  This is what happened when I was losing those first 50 pounds.  This week it looks like it's going to be 1 or 2 which is considered healthy and how I lost weight last time.  If I began losing 5-6 pounds every week, I'd eat more.  Don't pay attention to what other people say they're losing.  You're the only one that matters.

I just looked at your ticker.  You're doing GREAT!

Good morning, Team Green.

Let me shamefully say, "It's my birthday!"

I have invitations to eat out today and Monday.  I thought about avoiding it but instead I'm going to make it work.  I know I can eat out, eat well, and not stuff myself.  Tonight is Provino's (a great local Italian restaurant) then visiting with friends and munchies.  Monday is at Chili's with my friends from my twice-weekly pool volleyball game at the gym.  I figure I can look Chili's menu up on the internet and pick ahead of time.  Wish me luck!

I hope everyone is having a great day in honor of my birthday!

2. What was the last trip you took? North Alabama for Christmas
3. Who did you want to be when you were young?  artist or actress
4. When was the last time you went dancing? formally-years, but I dance spontaneously a little every day
5. What kind of shoes are you wearing right now? Brooks 'The Beast'
6. What pets do you have? 3 cats
7. What is one thing you crave almost everyday?  sleep

I did it and I was attending art classes at the school so people I went to class with saw me nude.  The professor (one of mine and a terrific working artist himself) was very protective and made sure visitors did not pop in - like one guy that wanted to take photos!  The first time I had to drop my robe, I thought I'd faint but then it was weird.  I really got into it - almost like meditation.  It was a serious figure-drawing class and the intense concentration from the student-artists was exciting.  I could relate to what they were doing because I took a lot of drawing, including figure drawing myself.  The money was great, the students were appreciative and I got a couple of nice drawings out of it.  Go for it!  People that don't get it may make remarks but who cares?

To refer to the earlier discussions, I found the experience of drawing the nude figure as well as modeling a sensual experience which I find different from sexual.  In both cases, I was hyper-aware of a number of things.    As a model: the air on my skin, the scratching of the pencils, the location of my limbs.  As an artist:  the curves of the body, the gradation of values, the proportions of the various parts.  The first time I drew the nude, I was nervously aware of the nakedness but the more I drew, the feeling became a completely different animal.  The challenge to do justice to the human body is humbling and exhilarating.  It added to my appreciation of figurative art.  I also find the human body extremely beautiful and fascinating.  That's just my view.

healthmd,

Sorry to say I'm 5'5".  I just have big feet.

Just wanted to say good morning to everyone.  It was supposed to be the first day of school after Christmas break but the whole county was flooded out!  Never had a flood-day before.  And now the sun's coming out!  An extra day of vacation is nice and I'm going to make sure I get in a good walk to celebrate.  Hope everyone is well.

Hey, Wildntaken.  Take care of those ankles.  I've been walking my behind off this last week and mine and my knees are a little sore.  Ditto on having the right shoes.  The thing is, there are so many kinds, it's hard to choose.  What seems comfortable in the store, doesn't necessarily hold up under heavy use.  I had a foot surgeon recommend mine to me and they meet the particular needs of my feet and ankles but I never would have found them on my own.  By the way, they are called The Beast and are by Brooks, size men's 10 wide!.  I joke that I have duck feet.  My doctor actually wrote me a prescription for them and I get a slight discount for it.  I buy them twice a year and wear nothing else.  Although when I was 50 pounds lighter, I found I could wear Chacos while hiking and had no pain.  I AM going to wear my Chacos again.

Y'all enjoy your day.
