I’m hot and sweaty and totally at peace. I love hiking. I love pondering at the next to upper Zen spot. These things won’t change. I’ll still be there, thinking of you.

Podcast Recap

Today is the ‘The Last Call’ because our next episode, Day 120, will be the final produced episode in the series. My reasons, the details and early reactions. The benefits of self awareness vs. self control. Update on how I’m doing letting go of eating before eating. Comment conversations from Dawny, eM, Dave and me from day 118. ‘Food Speaks’, a poetic blog post I wrote for Laurie’s Stories. Then the real time blog post where I decided midway through writing it to let go of the show and some early reaction comments from Dawny, eM, Cheryl, Amy from WI and Suz. A lovely new 5 star iTunes review from vivid_sketches.

Podcast Recap

Despite feeling fantastic after recording episode 31, the Space Alien Robots attack in an epic battle. Learn what happened, and how I claimed at least partial victory due to the tips, you, the brave companions, sent last time. Also, shout-outs to new listener, Steven, and a special birthday surprise for Sandy.
Tired, I contemplate the trail when I'm starting out. The Zen spot is about half-way up the range.

Podcast Recap

Brave companions Michelle, Janet and Sandy all step up to the plate and give great tips to Maureen, and the rest of us, for dealing with emotions that may drive our eating. Sandy shares on the Bravery Hotline about a sad situation and how she’s trying to cope. New listener Sue’s comment sparks me to create a segment all about why the scale is not to be trusted. Also featured are other ways to send audio to the podcast and let your voice be heard.
