Responsibility 199, what is it?

Responsibility 199 is a belief; I believe that to be healthy and to increase my longevity I need to weigh 199 pounds or less...
Responsibility 199 is a need; I need to reduce my weight, reduce my percentage of body fat, and the elevated threat of disease my present condition presents...
Responsibility 199 is a mission; I recognize that achieving 199 will be a challenge, perhaps the hardest I have ever undertaken...
Responsibility 199 is a commitment; I acknowledge that I must commit to action, commit to change, commit to myself and those I love to achieve this mission, to increase my longevity...
Responsibility 199 is ME.

Day 112 - What Revealed & Relapse

Well, some excellent guesses took place with yesterday's visual riddle.

I won't hold out further on you, there it is, it was an old Polaroid Instant Camera. Do you have one? I have two laying around still. Loved these. Still do but in the day of digital photos they are completely impractical. But I used mine right up to the day I became digi photo aware.

The weekend is here... what does it have in store for you?

For me, exercise today. I didn't get any in yesterday as desired. Too busy balancing working from home and trying to get caught up on work stuff, doing my best to care for my wife and the kids - teenage kids - had needs all of the sudden. So, I hate excuses, hate them I tell you, but I let excuses in and keep me away from exercising. Worse, oh so very worse, I ate like a vampire at a neck models convention. Are there neck models? I know there are hand a feet models.

Anyhow, yes, I am here today for the first time in 112 days to admit a relapse. Not a huge titanic sinking relapse to my food addiction; but enough of one for which I feel shame. I just failed in juggling the squeezes on my day and sanity with my ability to make good choices in the face of difficulty.

Today I feel weak, pissed off, but back in control. It is mid-afternoon as I sit here, I have eaten well so far, taken care of the needs of the family most notably my wife (she continues to recovery wonderfully), and am about 45 minutes from heading out for some exercise with my son.

Today will be amends for yesterday and a return to commitment. Tomorrow will be another, and then the day after that, and so on.

I promise!
