Day 31

Jack:

It's been a week since I last posted...but I've been reading the other blogs...thanks to all of you because every time I read them I feel more energized to keep going with this thing. I've been feeling really good physically and emotionally and have been allowing myself to spend many hours a day at the piano. I'm still working for the next month, but there's less pressure now that I'm leaving, so I've been taking advantage of that.

I've been feeling a little...how shall I put this..."bored" I guess is the right word, with the feast. It feels a bit mundane at this point. It's like I'm used to feeling pretty good and frankly I would like to eat some food. But, alas, I know this is doing good things for my body and, well, I have lost over 25 pounds which I'll admit to liking. And I really don't want to lose the feeling of camaraderie with all the others out there doing this right now so I'm going to keep going for the time being. Neither Jill or I want to stop because of some semi-conscious, addictive habit. We hope to do it when it feels right and makes sense. Anyway, thanks again to all of you writing blogs, commenting and just reading...I'm not sure I'd still be doing this without you, as great as this has been. Oh, the human condition (or at least mine).

Hey Jack,

It's good to read you again! Really! I'm totally with you with being "bored"! I feel like I'm totally on cruise control right now, and can totally keep going. So if you're in; I'm in! ;-)

25lbs is a huge loss!

Congratulations!

I just wanted to write the word TOTALLY one more time! lol (I guess I'm just a little excited right now. I think it was the enema!) (Was that TMI? Oh well!) ;-)

Hey Jack!

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that was going through a slump. Maybe it was a planetary alignment of some kind? It's funny because I too would just like to eat some food right now.

Coworkers are scared to eat around me right now LOL. I told them not to worry, I won't turn into the incredible hulk and start gulfing down their food! LOL :)

Hang in there! We can do it!!! :)

Hello Jack and Jill,
Good to read such frank writing. I am not as far in as you yet, but I can readily imagine a plateau point where boredom kicks in. Hope you guys stick it out, as about much for you as for me because I enjoy so much reading your fantabulous musings on the mystic journey.
Blessings and Love,
