Day 151 - Three Way Hump

Happy Hump Day! What, you thought this post title implied something else?

Hmmm… well anyhow, a trio of thoughts is what I have for you on this Wednesday.

First…
Riddle time again I say, what better day to have some fun than hump day.
Have an idea what that is a picture of above? Don't be shy, take a guess. This one should be easy, I think.
I'll reveal the answer tomorrow, or perhaps earlier if someone guesses correctly.

Second…
I'd like to introduce you to a new blogger I've made friends with this week; meet Phil…

Reading his posts he appears to be in the midst of mental wrangling similar to what I endured that first month. He's off to a good start, and searching for that point where the first clumsy steps along the path to better health become discernable steps and then a comfortable stride.

In the past he has yo-yo'd in part due to the use of various diet plans out there. He has come up with some guidelines which are in a sense rules but not necessarily strict and binding; which for me rigidity has been an issue for me. And so on, Phil and I seem to sit in similar boats with similar missions.

This quote from one of his posts particularly drew my attention, and a chuckle, "…I'm not feeling hungry at all but I am ALWAYS in the mood for naughty things like cakes and chocolate!" I echo that on many days, anyone else?

If you have time today stop by, extend a virtual handshake, say Hi & welcome Phil to the community of responsibility juggernauts.

Third…
Last night I set out to map a longer Neighborhood loop; the Neighborhood III loop. This loop is 5.1 miles & I did it in 84:59 minutes. Math Alert - What is that, approximately 17 minutes per mile?

So I repeated an NSV I listed on the left side of my blog some time ago, "Discovering new, awesome, places to walk ". Actually it was the first NSV I ever shared, nice to see that NSV's are like boomerangs and come back. Perhaps I have shared this about myself before, and I guess I touched on it above; I get bored easy. That may well be why I have never succeeded in using any of the commercially marketed diet/weight-loss plans; Their structure bores on me after a couple weeks or so. This is also why I have sought out & mapped out about a dozen different walking courses; it would drive me to yawn myself inside-out if I had to walk the same course each time.

Do you get bored easy & need frequent variety in your diet & exercise? Or are you one that thrives best in structure & repetition?
