The marathon is winding down, the end of the race just around the corner and I'm sick of Slimfast and V8. Yes I know, Jesus had neither V8 or Slimfast and suffered desert conditions, but I'm not the son of God. At times I may be ego driven, but I am realistic and believe that I have a fair understanding in my universal pecking order position, very middle of the pack.
It is interesting how things change over 39-Days. How things become habitual, how thought process differ, how things that have been taken for granted are not longer ignored or lessened in nature. I won't continue my 40 Day's of Liquid blog past Easter but I enjoy writing and may try my fingers at that. I've never taken food lightly and will be glad to have it again. The differences I've noticed in my perspective on myself continue to evolve. I still have moments and conversations that are fueled by sarcasm and always will, but they are less extreme and less frequent. I enjoy the self-reflection and think my life has been missing that. The blog will be ending but the reflection that fuels the blog will not. I'm enjoying being a little skinnier; I wasn't unhappy with my body 39-Days ago, but will work to not be back near the starting weight, at least during bathing suit season. I enjoy talking with others about God and how we work to balance our relationship with him, to glorify him and not fall pray to being a zealot. I still enjoy cooking, Day-39 contained scratch brownies :)
I also take my shortcomings more seriously. When I'd come up short I'd often find myself saying "well, that's how I am, just deal with it and accept me for it." Thankfully, friends and family have accepted me for my shortcomings. Hopefully, the future provides less things to accept. I'm trying to stop shortcomings before they happens: foot-in-month, anger, sarcasm, annoyance, teasing, pretension - all things I've made progress with and all things to continue to work on.
Random Notes: Started the day at 193 Lbs, 4-Beers before bed don't flush out so quickly, finished around 1,900 calories.
