I'm up a pound this week. I am trending at the high-end of the range I've been living in for the past year or so, and it really stinks. I know exactly what I'm doing wrong, but I'm having trouble getting my head back into taking care of it. Instead, I keep throwing myself further down the stairs, so to speak.

This is the month of Elul in the Jewish calendar, which is the month leading up to the High Holidays (Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur). This is a month in which we are supposed to be self-reflective, begin making amends for our errors, and to get ourselves on the right path before the new year starts. Clearly, I've got to do some reflecting about this.

I read an article recently (https://ideas.ted.com/the-right-way-to-be-introspective-yes-theres-a-wrong-way/) that suggested we spend too much time asking "why" we are the way we are, instead of asking "what" we are or "how" we are. It was pretty interesting. There's also an interesting Tedx talk by the author (https://youtube.com/watch?v=NVPxmz_PvUw).

Anyway, I have some work to do. In the meantime, "Leon's getting larger."
