Meditation is dangerous business

Getting ready to sit down to meditate today, I lost my balance and put my hand out behind me to catch myself. Instead, I caught my finger on a shelf, and fractured my fifth metacarpal pretty badly.




This is my first real broken bone, other than a couple of toes as a teenager. I'll get to find out tomorrow (hopefully) whether I'll just need a cast, or if surgery will be involved. Since I have no insurance, I'm really hoping I won't need surgery.

Looking good

As of this morning, I have lost 26 pounds, and am down 2 pant sizes. This is within the space of about 5 months. The loss is a combination of a vegan diet, exercising a minimum of 30 minutes, 3 times a week, and the elimination of most sodas and sweetened drinks.

I've stopped eating emotionally, because I'm no longer trying to swallow down the frustration and anger that was such a big part of my life during the last few years of my marriage. Most of that left with my ex-husband.

I'm feeling great, and looking pretty good too!
