Day 32

It's the last How Am I Doin' Friday of May. It is the 32nd day of this current cycle and I am happy to report that I am down 17.5 pounds.

On earlier cycles, I remember thinking "only 1 week left ....phew!". This time is different. My mindset is such that I am looking at 8 more days as 20% of the program. 

That would convert to almost another 4.3 pounds that I could lose over the next 8 days. Actually with 2 days of transition before I move on to reset, that number could be even higher.

I can honestly say that of all of the cycles I have done, I have been the most diligent this time.

By the end of the cycle, the weight loss will not be the most significant number I've had. Actually, far from it. In fact it may end up as the least amount I have ever lost on a cycle.

None of that matters.

I look good.

I feel good.

And I have an unbelievably upbeat view of life.

Not woo-hoo jump for joy upbeat. 

That's not me.

Upbeat as in calm, peaceful and accepting of myself. That kind of upbeat.

So that's how I am doing.

The May word of the month, DECENT, has been on my mind a lot lately.

(Duh .....it's supposed to David..it's your word of the month!)

Decent has many faces. 

Decent is being nice to people.

Decent is going the extra step.

Decent is doing what you said you would do.

Decent is doing the right thing.

Decent is guarding your tongue from spewing hateful or hurtful words.

Decent is donning a smile.

Decent is saying yes when it might be easier to say no and saying no when yes might not be the best response.

Decent is saying thank you. 

These are just a few of the faces of decent that pop into my head as I am writing to you. 

Hey I have an idea....How about if you send me a quick note and let me know what the face of decent might look like to you today.

 Shabbat Shalom!
