keeping my sanity

I think that if I did not meditate and exercise, I would have gone out of my mind a very long time ago.  To meditate, I just close my eyes and concentrate on my breath.  I do exercising daily also.  Whether I ride my exercise bicycle, or just lifting my dumbells, I am still burning calories.  I have some push up handles(that rotate) that I have yet to use.  Lately, I have been consuming to much sweet stuff, that made my weight increase by 2.5 lbs..  Oh no, what am I going to do(I say that with sarcasm).  I realized a long time ago that exercising is not about your weight, but how strong you are.  Right now, I need all the strength I can find.
