I’m smiling because the weather report said rain, and I got sun! (and because I took this selfie while listening to Jillian Michaels’ podcast and at this very moment, Jill mentioned how much she hates selfies. It tickled me)

Podcast Recap

It’s all about telling our truth and why we feel so gosh darn apologetic. I read an email from Steven who shares his My Fitness Pal ID, a true and brave comment from our newest brave companion, Michelle, and a heartfelt comment from my long-time friend, Cheryl, that triggers my musing at my Upper Zen Spot. Shout-outs too, to Sandy, Cherry, and my Local Brave Companion FB buddy who left a 5-star iTunes review.

The trail leading to my Upper Zen Spot. It’s a beautiful sunny and windy day.

Mentioned

Steven’s name on My Fitness Pal:

If you or any of your brave companions are on MFP – please friend me! You can find me by my nom de plume “operavagabond”

Eating in the Light of the Moon: How Women Can Transform Their Relationship with Food Through Myths, Metaphors, and Storytelling This is the Amazon.com link to the book recommended by Kendra that I also purchased. Note: This is my Amazon Associate link, so purchasing from here gives me a few pennies.

My First attempt at a YouTube video bonus tour of my Upper Zen Spot. Honestly, I had to fight my perfectionistic self because of some audio trouble due to wind, but here it is! I’m proud of myself for letting it be. I can always try another day. Sometimes when we fuss over perfection on a first attempt, we don’t really allow ourselves to learn and grow from our experience.

This is me setting out on a grand experiment. Just me and my trusty Roland-05 podcast recorder off to record my compulsive overeating thoughts and feelings. Does anyone else care? Will they listen? Will *I* listen?
