Been a challenging week. My brother who is a year older than me passed away suddenly just over a week ago. He had diabetes for 10 or more years. He had been taking a medication for it but when it was linked to a higher risk of heart problems he went off it without going on something else. He was trying hard to manage it with diet, but apparently did not succeed in that effort. He was found slumped over and not breathing by his wife. He had apparently be dead for a few hours when she found him. I am mad at him for not working with a doctor. I understand his frustration with doctors, but there was an arrogance to his actions that ended up with him losing his life. His 14 y.o. daughter now does not have a dad.

School is at the very end of the term. I have a paper due tomorrow that I got an extension on. My review boards happened on Tuesday. It was tough, given everything else going on, but I did not want to forego them. I can't believe how fast this year went by.

My brother's experiences have reinforced my resolve to continue on this path of eating high quality, unprocessed food. Getting rid of carbs other than veggies, and the occasional fruit. And, working with my doctors as needed. My changes in diet have had a profound effect on my health and well-being, but I have a few meds I need to take, and will need to take for the rest of my life. So be it. I am not ready to call it a life.

Be well. Eat well. Hug the ones you love.

Weight is holding steady. I was afraid to step on the scale this morning because it had been up to about 275 about a week ago, which shocked me. My clothes have been consistently fitting loose, so I feel like I am overall making good choices. But the silly scale still rules my sense of good or bad, win or lose. Was happy to be back down to my last weigh-in weight. I have been swamped at school, and all the events here in the Boston area have made focus difficult at times. Yesterday I started in to school early, hoping for a full day of painting. I made it about halfway before turning around. It was very strange how little traffic there was on the road at that time of day. Glad things seem to be moving back towards normal again. Lots of sad news to still absorb.
Be well, and hug the ones you love a little tighter.

School is wonderful. The days are long and full. There is only about 6 weeks of classes left. That makes me sad, but my work has improved so much over the last seven months. It has definitely been worth it.

I am not focused on losing weight these days. Just trying to stick to eating right. I had one period in February when I started to slip a bit, but soon I was feeling really crappy, so that got me right back on track again, sticking to the foods that make me feel good. My weight has creeped up a few pounds, but now seems to be very steady. Given that I am not really "working" at it, I am satisfied. I would prefer of course to see those pounds dropping, but there is not the time or energy to focus on this the way I was in the past.

Snow coming down big time today. Break this week, but will spend as much time as possible down in the studio. Today would not have been a studio day anyway, because we have a delivery coming. Time to finally get the taxes done I guess!

Be well all!
