Work is really busy, but today I made a point of saying it was time for a break, and headed down to gym. I did a half hour of cardio and then I stretched my legs for a while. I have been skipping stretching for a long while now, but then I realized I was becoming stiffer as a result of not doing it, especially since my cardio had been including some running. The stretching was helpful; my legs feel better tonight than they usually do on a day I've done cardio.

Food is good for now, but I'm starting to wonder if I may need to look into a group like OA if I can't sustain a healthy balance with food. I have always regarded OA as a last resort, but I realize I could just check it out. It doesn't mean if I go once, I have to commit. An acquaintance at work told me she has gone a few times and although she hasn't actually "subscribed", she had positive things to say about it. I know Weight Watchers and other commercial plans are not for me; I don't like their messages, but OA has a compassionate message that does resonate with me. I don't feel that I have any big issues that I'm using food to deal with, but I do feel unresolved about my eating and weight. I have been around and unhappy at) this same weight for years now. Yes, I gained back some of the 8 pounds I lost last year.

Just some thoughts floating around in my head. Time to go to bed now.
