Good intentions

I don't know why I named this post good intentions but since this is stream of conciousness, I don't need to go too much in to the analysis. 

I am trying to lose weight.  I have been following my own diet which is a combination of low carb/low cal/exercise/indulge and recover.  So far it is working and this morning I am down another 1.3lbs from yesterday.  That is a good intention that is working.  One thing I am also acknowledging is that I am greatful for this body and who I am right now without any future enhancements.  I am happy as I am.  My weightloss is for continued good health and further enhanced looks, not to achieve the body image that I will one day love.

The second good intention to write more to write this blog is also there.  Out of four days I have written three and that brings me to the one day that I missed.  The name of the post came about because the way the mind works, it will mainly focus on what is not achieved rather than what is achieved. So that the one day I missed writing it within the first week was upmost in my mind. 

I am reading the Power of Now and there is a comment there that one has to learn to watch one's ego (also what we call mind - the incessent inner voice that judges or tries to live in the past or future rather than focusing on the present), like watching a small child and wag one's finger at it when caught being judgmental.  This analysis is really a wag of my finger with a grin to day Gottcha!
