YOM KIPPUR

YOM KIPPUR is the Jewish Day of Atonement. It is common to see Jews in synagogue who might have been missing in action all year. I admit, I am one of these Jews. Today, Saturday, I will go to synagogue. I did start fasting at sundown on Friday (when the Holiday began) and will not eat or drink again until later today at sundown. Some people have specific rituals for their last meal, I do not. This year, I chose Chinese Food, as I have done in the past. The ritual that I most look forward to - is the meal that breaks the fast. I know what I will be having for dinner today. Two bagels with cream cheese and lox. The other thing that I did to prepare for my fast day was take an urban hike on Friday. This urban hike was completed when I had logged 17 miles.

ALL BAD THINGS MUST END

My blog has (mostly) documented a successful weight loss journey and (mostly) documented the change of a complete couch potato to a person who values exercise. There have been a few periods within the past two years when I have strayed very far from the eating habits that I was aspiring to and veered back into the eating habits that I was trying to leave behind. Today, right now, Wednesday, January 4th, will mark the turning point when I remember to (re)learn all the good things that I originally did to guide my success and discontinue my reckless eating. It is true, I have been eating badly recently. Fortunately, just like we all know that: all good things must end, it is also true that all bad things must end.
