Conservation of Energy at Work, Fewer Calories = Less Weight

I happen to be more on the "cut carbs" side of the fence, but it overall comes down to eating getting used to running on fewer calories...

Emptying the nest, Taking Flight

Image
  Image by 愚木混株 Cdd20 from Pixabay I have lived in three states in my adult life. Geographically physical parts of the United States, I’m sure I’ve lived in many more emotional/spiritual states (sometimes more than one at once) but that’s a different story for a different time. Most of my time away from Minnesota was in my mid-to-late 20’s; Northern California for graduate school and Maryland/DC for my postdoc. After 7.5 years away, and having had two kids, an opportunity to move home presented itself and we took it. Now, 16 years after moving back to the land of 10 kilo-lakes (order of magnitude estimate), the wanderlust is re-emerging. I’m finding myself tied to my exact location less and less and am becoming more curious about living in the greater world. While tourist-type travel may satiate some of that, I’ve grown fond of the idea of spending extended time elsewhere. By that, I’m thinking of the order of three to six months; something on the order of a sabbatical. This w...

Resistive element

 I've tried to get my writing/journaling rebooted a number of times lately. The challenge is feeling like there's a lot to write about but no clear thought. I've also had quite the itch to be more a person of "action" lately. One more thing that I'm noting right now is I haven't felt the most comfortable just sitting. As in physically I feel like my legs have been hyperextending or over stretching and my back and glutes have been tight making me want to keep moving. Lastly, it feels weird to type like this on my work computer, even though I'm remoted into my old home computer. Still, right now I'm committing to getting a few hundred words written. Even if most of it is just rambling I know that it helps streamline my thoughts and form ideas. Life makes a little more sense when written and linearized.  As per usual there's a lot going on these last few months. The biggest thing has been my son graduating from high school and moving off to colleg...

Emptying the Nest, The nest itself

Image
Time has a way of moving both fast and slow. Any day can feel like an eternity or an eye blink depending on any number of factors. The future, for me, almost always feels so far off but then looking back the past seems like everything happened so quickly. Now here I am, pushing ever closer to whatever reckoning awaits. I'm not writing today to talk about what might come. I work to be in the mode of "Que sera, sera". That is whatever will be, will be. That's not to say don't plan and all that but also I'm in no rush and try to have little worry about what the future might bring. This is more challenging currently, however I leave that to another blog.  Similar with the past. There's no need to worry or dwell on what might have been or what could have been. Instead the past is strewn with learning opportunities and ways to live more fully. An array of facts that can be leveraged into growth.  So here I am in the present, feeling at a summit of sorts. The pri...
