He who loses wealth loses much; he who loses a friend loses more; but he who loses his courage loses all.

-Miguel de Cervantes

Empty and calm and devoid of self
Is the nature of all things.
No individual being
In reality exists.

There is no end or beginning,
Nor any middle course.
All is an illusion,
As in a vision or a dream.

All beings in the world
Are beyond the realm of words.
Their ultimate nature, pure and true,
Is like the infinity of space.

-Prajnaparamita

Still not dieting but working out more and trying to not center my life around food.

On a good note I had garlic chicken breast and brocolli for lunch yesterday and then on the way home got Wendys BUT only got a hamburger (no fries or coke)!

Yay for small victories!

So lately I’m alone on Saturdays (or most of it) and since I’ve gotten so used to spending the day with Sprout I’m going to need to learn to make the most of it for myself.

That shouldn’t be so hard but it’s harder than you think particularly when you get used to this day with another person. Of course my mornings will be spent alone with my coffee, veggie omelet, tv and doing some online fun stuff.

I think I’ll mix my day up with some relaxation, housework and exercise. If I stay in all day and do nothing I’ll feel like crap by 4pm.

Maybe I’ll even attempt cooking something for dinner for my Sprout!
