I took a shower, walked my dog and did my body-scan meditation today. It's the second time for the body-scan. It went better as i did it lying down. It's quite long at 45 minutes. My dog is an obstacle as she fusses and runs around and tries to get me to pat her. I can't shut her away as then she just sends up a hue and a cry and it's worse. I can't have my neighbor mind her as she has a new puppy who gets super excited around my dog and it would just be pandemonium. Sigh! Sometimes pets have their disadvantages.

I had this enormous lunch. I'm so unhappy with my eating and weight. But dieting is futile and intolerable at my age (54 in peri-menopause). Overeaters Anonymous is not gonna work. I have faint hope that mindfulness and meditation will help. My book says it will. But mindfulness and meditation is a long-term project. I'll just keep at it i guess.
