Meditation: Day 7

Well tonight is a surprise at 255.2 pounds which is a whopping 3.4 pound weight loss for this week. I think last week's read was a fluke and it's probably more like a pound and a half each week. But I'm not complaining! (Unless this week is a fluke and I go up next week . . .) This brings my total loss to 16.6.

I've been told by others that they are starting to notice, but these are people who know what I'm doing so I believe their perspective is probably biased. I've read that it starts to really become noticeable when you've lost 10-15% of your starting weight. So at about 27-30 pounds I predict I'll start seeing results.

I meditated in the shower tonight, listening to the sounds of the water drops sprinkling down onto the floor of the tub. As usual, my mind wandered. I just kept trying to come back. I felt like I was enveloped by a blanket of warm water. It was actually really nice. But after some time, it felt like I had been sitting there a while and I worried that I hadn't started my timer correctly. Turns out I had, and I cut my meditation short by a minute.

I need a new system - like gongs or something to tell me when time is up, because the alarm is just too jarring.

In other life news, I have an interview next Thursday for a maternity leave position. I'm hoping I get it because rejection is just becoming way too familiar.
