Still hungry...

But that's ok. I have broken through my stall and am down 13 pounds since last Monday.

Today was one of those days where everything seemed a little harder than it needed to be. Caught every red light, got behind every dumb driver, got a million crazy calls/emails from clients, had a splitting headache...but the good news is that I finally stopped for a second to breathe. My friend U'i texted me to meet her at Ala Moana Beach Park to swim. I'm so busy that I almost say no and just keep working but then realize that sometimes you just have to stop and breathe and realize that most of us aren't saving lives as part of our work. It's all going to be ok if I take one hour to step away.

My grandma Lucy was one of a kind. A fiery red head who always had a burning cigarette, half-smoked, dangerously dangling from her ruby red lips told me once, "Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy."
