I feel normal in my body most days. It moves the way I feel it should, it doesn't creak too much unless I'm stretching and it is doing what I'm asking of it... most of the time.

The days when it becomes obvious to me that my body is not all it can be are days when I ask it to do something and it can't quite perform. I went swimming on Sunday. I was fine until I got home. I was so tired I couldn't resist taking a nap. Caused by twenty minutes in the water and forty just hanging out in the heat. I was one of those kids that was at the pool for hours on end.

We went outside to fix the youngest bike so he can get to riding. The wind was blowing and it was 98. I went inside and developed a nice little headache.

The worst of the worst for me is when I see a picture of me at a time I know I was feeling normal. One of me at a sewing machine during a class another of me dancing with the an old friend who is a bass player at one of his gigs. OMG! I need to really lose some inches.

Today I started with more mindful eating. Now I'm going out to help that youngster with his bike.
