Women, Phenomenally

I'm reading a book, A Weekend to Change Your Life. evidently she has written a couple of others on the same subject of women taking charge of their lives. A lot of what she says I do agree with, especially the part about taking care of ourselves, our whole selves - body, soul, and spirit. I like that she talks about the need to carve time for yourself out of your busy life and that sometimes means saying NO to people, letting go of unhealthy relationships and just doing things because you feel like it is required of you.

What I don't like about the book, which she states in the first few pages and it kind of put me on the defensive for the whole book was that she left her husband so she could find herself.

She doesn't give any prerequisite for this, she doesn't say he was a bad husband or unfaithful, just that she left him so she could be alone and do the things she wanted to do.

That's a bit drastic, I think, and it did sort of ruin the rest of the book for me.

I'm off to start The Feminine Face of God.

I am going to add 5 more pounds to my bench presses starting next week, that means I'm up to 40lbs.
I have also added some stair climbing to my daily routine. It really hurts my knees so I will go slow.
I still haven't picked up the bike, just can't seem to get to Walmart.
I have worked out every night this week but one.
I started counting calories again just to see how much I was eating. On most normal days, eating healthy and feeling satisfied I am eating between 1600 - 1800 calories.

My weight remains the same.
