Lots of little things running around in my head right now.
I'm having a hard time breaking past the 80lbs point with the weight loss. Wondering how much of that is mind games though. I'm in the 20 pound range that always seems to be the point I quit/give up/stop losing. Or am I at the point where just eating less isn't enough. Maybe my body is telling me it's time to start adding in some exercise. I'm toying with the idea of trying the C25K program again. My knees gave out on me at the fourth week last time I tried but I also weighted at least 40 pounds more then. All I know for sure is the weight I'm at now always seems to be my Waterloo. I'm determined to change that this time.
It has really bothered me to see the hateful comments directed toward Nelson Mandela this last week. I understand he was a polarizing figure. Everyone has their opinion about him...hero or villain...and there's nothing wrong with that. I guess I just think someone's death isn't the time to be hateful. Regardless of what you thought about the man politically he still left behind family and friends who loved him and are hurting right now. Just doesn't seem like the appropriate time to bash someone.
Seeing a lot of anti-Salvation Army going on right now because of their stance on gays. If you don't like their beliefs, don't donate to them. It's that simple. But really, is a FB smear campaign necessary? They're a religious organization who is upfront about their religious beliefs. Is their position on gays really all that surprising? At least they're out there trying to help people...all people, even those who's sexual orientation they don't believe in. I don't see any other church standing out in the cold for hours on end trying to help the way they do.
On the up side, seeing a lot less of the whole "Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas" nonsense this year.
This Saturday is the Army/Navy game. So I expect everyone to put on blue and gold and cheer Navy on to another victory. And thus is the only sporting event you will ever hear me express any interest in.
Speaking of sports though, I'm really tired of hearing about the Redskins and whatever the soap opera drama is they have going on. With the money they are all making they have nothing to create drama about. Seriously, get over yourselves.
Which leads to a closing thought. Step outside of yourself this month and do something for someone else. A random act of kindness may be the only present someone gets this month.
