Joe's life today or what the heck has Joe been doing...

I don't know why I seem to struggle with titles but the "or" format seems to work for me.  So, I have been hiding in the shadows.  Mainly because I don't really know what to share and what to keep for myself.  Thus my silence.  But here is what I have come up with to share:

• I have been struggling with my weight.  WW does me good but there seem to be some deep roots to stupid food decisions.  I decided to see a therapist to help deal with whatever issues I seem to have.  We have met twice and the "getting to know Joe" stage is complete.  Now the real work begins.  She uses process called Psych-k.  I told her that I was a skeptic but then again, my logical brain isn't able to combat the cravings that I have.  I try very hard to not eat the crap that I do, but something sub-conscious fails me.  I can't explain it so I am open to a different tactic.  More on this later
• At my therapists recommendation, I am doing the Beck diet solution to work on my conscious issues with my weight and eating.  It is very enlightening and has helped me to identify thought patterns that sabotage my success.  Today, I am supposed to skip lunch to really understand hunger.  This scares the crap out of me.  I feel light headed.  But I am going to stick to it...
  
• Noah was baptized just over a week ago.  That meant that his Godfather John was in town.   I know that I  write about him a lot but John has been a major force in my life.  There is something to be said for a person who I haven't seen in a year and a half who can show up and we just pick up where we left off.  He is the best person that I know and I can't say enough about him.  Plus, who else could postulate that my relatives enjoy spitting on the floor therefore only like to stay at hotels?
• I have been sick.  Noah has been sick.  This means that the CP and I don't get a lot sleep.  He is up every two hours or so.  This is a major departure from his previous record of sleeping 5 or 6 hours at a time.  Plus, we moved him in to his own room because he has gotten too big for his cradle.  I am still a little sad each time I look at the cradle.
• Noah's first day of daycare is today.  The CP and I are very upset by this.  I am sure that it is much more traumatic for us than him but I don't like someone else caring for my son.  I feel really bad for G because she had to drop him off.  I can't imagine how hard that would have been.
• I really feel the need to get my spiritual life back on track. 
  
• I started a new exercise routine which includes some weight lifting.  I was paying a price on Saturday for not lifting weights since college.
• I am done with the snow.  I want to play golf and get outside to work on my yard. 
  
• I have officially closed down the technology support side business I was running.  I am taking my extra curricular interests in a new direction.  More to follow.
