Today is sunny outside. Not particularly warm, but sunny. I love, no I need the sun. I didn't realize how much my body needs sunshine until I moved back up North after living in the South for 11 winters. It doesn't have to be particularly warm - it will only get up into the 60s today - but it does need to be sunny. Besides, I have plenty of lovely sweaters to keep me warm.
After deciding to not worry about dieting and just staying where I am for a while, I realize I am just not happy here. I am not expecting my weight, or weightlessness, to make me happy by itself. But I want to be securely into the "overweight" category, not teetering back and forth between that and technically obese. As a result, just for today, I am going to work my program like it is my job. I will see how I feel at the end of the day. I will not obsess over it - just do it.
And, yes, the sunshine has a lot to do with this. It lifts my mood, lifts my soul. It has been a pretty icky year - way too much death around me. Way too many broken hearts, too. But that doesn't mean that I have to fall, too. If I have the strength to do so, I need to stand up straight and tall. Today, I have the strength. Today, I will walk on sunshine.
