40 is great, now what?

I have many interests.  Recently, I've discovered weeding.  I go to the neighborhood farm and I pick a row of needy vegetables and I dig into the earth -  I give them space, save them from strangulation and make their growing life trouble free, if only temporarily.  I have found this need to eliminate excess and create a straight path has crossed over into other parts of my life.

The summer started out great.  I was on a regiment of diet and exercise.  I could practice yoga, enjoy healthy foods, etc.  Then somewhere things got out of whack, and here I am contemplating a detox or juice diet and so I have decided that I will try to spend the rest of the year pizza and nacho free (they are my comfort foods eaten in excess).  I have a tv show I like (Perception).  A point was made recently on the show that pizza is like sex: even when its bad, its good.  I agree.  It's a perfect food.  But I really want to lose 40 pounds, and something has to give.

I just indulged in wonderful pepperoni pizza from City Pizza in So. Philly.  Absolutely wonderful!  Here I go.  On the pizza wagon.

It is because I'm very far from the point where I can eat it and not be excessive.  I have a very easy time justifying the extra slice. Justifying pepperoni instead of veggie.  So I just need to reel myself in.
