    excerpt on self image from a book I'm reading called "10 minute toughness"

    "Who are you and what do you want? The choice of how you view yourself is the essence of the identity statement – it is largely determined by the things you continually say to yourself. You can’t outperform or underperform your self-image for long. The self-image will eventually regulate behaviors and outcomes to fall within the range of self-expectation. Essentially, your self-image governs ...

    :::::rejoicing::::: Things have "moved along" this morning naturally for the first time in a week. I'm so happy I could cry.

    I feel much better now that that's passed, though now my muscles are all kinds of sore from doing an hour of pilates yesterday. Oh well, it's a good kind of sore. Nothing at all like the agony I was in last night. I haven't done pilates in ages. In fact, I was NEVER able to do the 60 min. video back when I was doing pilates regularly and ...

    For the last week or so I've been just plain constipated. Some days it really bothered me and I did enemas to feel better and other days I was totally fine so I let well enough alone. Today I decided to do another round of enemas because I was feeling... well... the need to. In short, I got out a lot of large, hard chunks (sorry if that was TMI) which felt to me like it was the blockage causing the constipation. ...

    I had such a busy weekend! I did back to back yoga classes on Friday. It was hard, but it felt really good. I also went for a bike ride because it was "bike to work day" in Seattle. I didn't have to work, but I took my bike out for a spin anyway.

    Saturday I went to a free women's golf day with one of my friends. It was fun - they had a couple of free clinics, wine tasting, and a couple of clothing vendors there.

    Sunday I did a team bike race with the same ...
