My Body My Temple And all That




Trying to lose ten pounds this summer I stepped on the scale the other morning and had gained 15 pounds. Was it the sub sandwich I had eaten two days before? But I had exercised for an hour! Had it caught up with me?

I fretted for two days, and stepped on the scale again. And then I weighed 25 pounds more, up in the low 190s.

I changed the batteries on the bottom of the scale, and in fact was now 167 pounds.

Eight more pounds to go.

While Obama frets over the spill (and the ways in which he's being perceived as fiddling while the Gulf burns), and while people the world over are getting shot at or are worried about where their next meal is coming from, I am happy. I am about a third of the way toward my goal of 159.
