Tweak three–not a huge success. The truth is, my lower back was in a state. I sat in a small plastic chair that was too low to the ground for five hours on the weekend–in retrospect, not such a brilliant idea. It felt okay at the time, but the next day, I knew exactly why I was in pain.
The lower back pain lasted most of the week, so “walking as much as I could” did not amount to much, until Thursday or so.
Tweak four will have two components:
1/ I will track everything I eat in a food journal. (Just to assess things, but I suspect it will lead to more circumspect choices). This is my new tweak. Going to weight watchers is one of my larger goals, but going and following their plan perfectly and tracking everything all at once is too much for one week (small steps, you know). So this is a first step.
2/ I will “walk as much as I can.” This is one I want another shot at.
Two tweaks this week is no small order, but I think they are manageable.
Oh, and let’s not forget, the third tweak for the week–
3/ I am never, ever going to sit in that particular chair again. (I am pretty sure this one will be easy even though, as you know, I normally eschew “forever” promises.)
I am happy to report that tweak two (eat beans) is thriving. I had beans six days this week, without trying. I think it’s safe to say this one is a keeper.
So how are you doing?

Hi Kate!
I hope your back is not bothering you anymore.
My father replied to my email hinting a question about why I was angry at him but I didn’t go into it just sent another warm reply. I’m going to keep that email communication up. (I talk to my mom on the phone usually but I will also try to write to her as I think she would appreciate an old-fashioned letter.)
This week I am going to write a minimum of a page a day. If stuck, I’m still going to spend two hours actively trying to put words on paper. Every day. I’ve never really tried this method so we’ll see how it goes.
Good luck!
