It was a bit tongue in cheek.
You are blessed.

That is true, but I am also intentional.

So, I’m awkward, my bad - did you mean to imply that I am not living intentionally?
It is fine if that was your intent. But, I can assure you, I do live intentionally. It eliminates neither the anger nor the anxiety. It helps, but does not eliminate it.
I think you were saying that living intentionally leaves you with very little anger.
Peace Beth, I enjoy your log.

Not at all. It was in no way on comment about you. I just meant that I don’t lack anger because I was born without it or I lack the emotion. I just meant that I try very hard to be intentional about how I deal with my anger. It’s something that I have to put quite a bit of effort into. I sometimes fail and my anger spikes. So I suppose it would be more correct to say that I have anger, but I rarely let it take the driver’s seat. It has taken me many years to learn how to slow down and not immediately react to things that flair my anger. Typically when I fail it is to do with my father. Still working my way through that one.
I haven’t been on the scale for a while. I’m honestly thinking about changing it to kg to see if it would be helpful. Due to my American aversion to the metric system, Kgs mean almost nothing to me. So maybe it would work as a way to keep an eye but not be obsessive. @T3hPwnisher mentioned the Kgs having little meaning to him and I could see that working for me. I have no set “I should be this many Kgs” like I do with pounds. No emotional attachment to a number sounds refreshing.

Touching on this conversation:
I put a John Mark Comer video on Sabbath that we’re covering for my home group, and in that series, he said something that seems quite basic, but it stuck with me.
He was talking about food, particularly feasting being a big part of Sabbath, and he had this little line: most of us don’t know how to feast, because we don’t know how to fast.

Yes! I feel like most people no longer enjoy things like a Thanksgiving feast (or whatever the British feast day would be) because eating big is what we do all the time. Sometimes when I say that I am starving my husband likes to remind me that I have never truly known what it means to be starving. It’s a good reminder.

The back is hard to heal.
There are so many injuries but most time the solution is similar.. I have sprain muscles, broke transverse and got many impact from falling off horses and bikes.
You can do some back stretching, core work, back extension, jefferson curl… Just go very slow.

I’ve been trying to relax, get up and move and very lightly stretch today. I have a feeling that’s gonna be the most I can do for a bit.
Sorry to hear about your back, sending healing thoughts

I have a 6kg (sorry 
) kettlebell that is my saviour for any back tweaks I get. I work from home and every time I go in the kitchen, and sometimes when I go to the toilet if I remember, I do a quick 8-15 swings dependant on how it feels. Sometimes I don’t even have the range right away but I can pretty soon build into it. I feel weird saying that considering you hurt yourself doing a swing, but I also fully believe “what hurt you also heals you”. I am obviously not qualified to say this to imply a prescription, and all injuries are different. Just trying to pass my own experience on.
On top of that, a ton of walking is great.

Thank you dear! It’s feeling much better today than yesterday, but it’s still pretty iffy. Gonna take the weekend nice and easy.
What’s funny is that we weigh people at work in kg. So now all I really know is that if I see a 1 at the beginning of the weight, it’s gonna be a rough scan.
I did, but I think that was just the straw that broke the camels back. There was already a strain there and I just pushed it a little too far. I plan to take it somewhat easy for a few days, just some walking and stretching. Gonna slowly work back up so I don’t piss it off again.
Always appreciated.
