Boston Marathon Bombing

What are you going to do? Tragic destruction today at the Boston Marathon, hundreds of thousands of people gathered for the race and a general good time supporting family and/or friends. Cheering on those who train so hard to run and finish 26 miles of running - then someone with or without others decides this is how they'll make a statement about whatever it is on their agenda. With only the rehashed statements from politicians and talking heads I'm of a mind that this was done by a "local" element, not the standard boogieman terrorists. Will this be the beginning of the end of American society - that eventually we won't be able to gather without a shakedown of what we carry with us and not being allowed to gather in groups of 3 or more "for our own safety"? I hope not. In spite of what happen on 9/11 I still climb eagerly onto an airplane to take me away, join with a crowd at a hockey game, wander through festive city streets. Maybe I'm daffy but I want to get around and not worry that some great tragic event will befall me and should have just stayed home and watched the sky fall from my window.

Right the ship

All hands on deck, I've arrived at my destination -- 175lbs, the weekend past is when I reached my goal weight. The journey will continue as maintenance which actually with the Lose It app is giving me an additional 500 calories per day though so far I still find myself greedy about using all of them so my weight may continue to decrease. I don't feel there's much of a need to weight less but I do have a physical later in the month so I'll see what the doctor thinks about it. I have a couple of ways of looking at this, one is to be able to eat out occasionally without looking for grilled chicken and salads on the menu. The other is looking into what may be smarter foods to eat that I don't already. Add nutritional value type foods, learn about carbs, proteins, more vegetables, something like that. Maybe there's some bok choy in my future.
