Day 100 ended last month but I didn't have time to log into CCOR.

1. I weigh 150 # and wear any style of clothes and look great!
This is a work in process goal. I realized that I am self-sabotaging myself when I reach 185#. I'm working out exercise DVDs and continue to be aware of my eating habits. I did lose 9 lbs since the 100 days.

2. Live in an organized, clean, clutter free, stylish home.
This is a work in process goal. I’ve read 'Messies Manual' by Sandra Felton and have started boxing m… Continue

This past week has been really bumpy. My uncle-in-law was diagnosed with cancer years ago, and he finally told the family about 5 months ago when his doctors told him he had 6 more months.

He is now in the hospital and his doctors gave him 48 hrs. He is hook-up to many machines and is conscience of his visitors. His doctors want to move him out of the hospital as they can not do anything for him, but we know that he will die without the machines. The doctors try to convince Uncle's DDs to autho… Continue

I love the digital library because it is so easy to borrow books-on-tape and there is no late-fees because the site takes back the borrowed item on the due date (to the hour on when it was checked out!).

DS has a library card, so I'm considering using his so that I can borrow an additional 8… Continue

Last night, I had a choice between writing activities with Day 5 of 'Change your life in 7 days' or continue listening ot 'The power of now' (mindlessly). Hmmm. . . I'm lazy, so I choose mindless listening as I hate writing goals.

As mentioned in an earlier entry, I had a difficult time concentration, so I changed my listening strategy and decide to listen mindlessly, without thinking. I let Mr. Tolles' words wash over me as I concentrate on breathing and didn't analyze (too much) on what he wa… Continue

I checked this book out from the digital library. It is 7+hours long. So far, I've in the middle of chapter 3 (2+ hours).

My thoughts on this audio book is that I feel I'm in a really awful science fiction movie, something like 'Invasion of the body snatcher with Donald Sutherland (of course, I'm his female partner).' The aliens have occuped our brains and I'm trying to escape! What a mind trip!

I say 'awful' because the longer I listen to this tape, the more scared I am. There are over 1000 r… Continue
