Feasting Again
imagined by: James Mathias
Another Feast on a Friday. I may not do this every Friday, but I’ll do it when the whim strikes.
Appetizer
What are you proud of?
My Sons, My wife and my weight loss, 124 lbs. so far.
Soup
What is the best thing you’ve ever won as a prize?
I’ve only ever won a single prize in my lifetime, so that would have to be the answer. It was Paula Abdul’s new album—at the time—Spellbound. I was the 11th caller to a local (San Francisco) Radio station back before it was released.
Funny thing was, I was at work and couldn’t get excited, even though I was, so the DJs were disappointed. And, I didn’t own a CD player at the time, in fact didn’t get one until a year after, so I just carried the CD around to my friend’s homes to play it.
Salad
Name something you do that is a waste of time.
I like to believe everything I do is worthy of my time, even if, at the time it feels wasteful.
Main Course
In what year of your life did you change the most?
From June 06 to present, I have lost 124 pounds and I feel that is a pretty big change, perhaps the biggest change I’ve ever made.
Dessert
Where is a place you consider to be very tranquil?
Gabriel Park in Portland.

Great job on the weight loss! I myself am trying to lose some.
Love your blog. Are you Buddhist? i’m a struggling Buddhist- i do the chants and meditation, but haven’t really done the big step to vegetarianism.. too chicken yet.

Hi Chateau, thank you!
Yes, I’m Buddhist. I ’m not a vegetarian however, it’s not a healthy way to fuel your body, also it’s not a prerequisite of Buddhism. I also don’t meditate in the traditional way.
I think it’s important to understand Buddhism is a way of life and not a strict religion.

Congratulations… 124 lbs is great. I’ve just started trying to lose weight. I know I’ll feel better, but it’s not easy. Sure wish it was as easy to take it off as it was to put it on!
Have a great weekend.

congrats on the weight loss. I used to lead WW, so I know what an accomplishment that is. And you should WIN a prize for you soup answer–too funny.

Linda, thank you. It was/is hard, but it’s a process and everything good in this world worth fighting for.
Yeah it was a funny situation, I no longer own the CD, not even sure what happened to it, but I remember being so proud to have a CD, as back then it was a pretty new technology.

Thanks Rob, and yes I’m working my way down to a healthy weight, no need to get drastic with the losses.
