Practically ThereLike a journey that is nearly complete, a thirst about to be quenched or a wish not far from being fulfilled, Practically There is where anticipation and actuality intersect. Here you will find practical solutions, humor, an opinion or two, suggestions, instructions and ruminations on just being. There’s a little something for everyone; sort of like a sampler for the psyche. |

April 20, 2004 - Today I begin Atkins-ing. In no time at all I shall be healthy, svelte and bursting with energy.
April 27, 2004 - It has been a week since I started this eating program. Have lost about 5 pounds, feeling good. Breath is awful. Have lots of energy. Getting a little tired of cheese.
May 4, 2004 - Slipped a little, had to start all over again with the Induction Program. Only put on about 3 of the 9 that I lost so I am still ahead. Getting really tired of cheese.
May 11, 2004 - Have lost another 5 pounds, which is about 13 pounds in 3 weeks. Wow. Breath kink of funky. I am so tired of cheese.
May 18, 2004 - Diet is losing appeal. Still down about 13-14 pounds. I have never wanted an apple so much in my life. I am so freaking tired of cheese.
May 25, 2004 - Lost 15 pounds. Ate a cracker. Put on 15 pounds. I give. So, I'm fat, so what? My family loves me, I can still fit through a garage door and I'm fairly sure that my shoes match. I determine myself to be fine.
But, I do have to wonder- now if I leave the wrapped butter out and it melts - I can then reshape it, let it cool and it retains its shape. So, theoretically, being approximately 70% adipose tissue (fat), 20% water, 3% chemicals, minerals and other raw deposits and 7% Dove Bar, I should be able to sit out, soften and then simply redistribute everything on my person into a contour that is somewhat more pleasing. You know, sort of pull it up and push it around kind of thing. Then I could be more of an irregular polyhedron rather than the trapezium that I currently bear a striking resemblance to.
Merely a thought.
But, that's just me talking.
