Doing what I want to do

So, I've started taking notes during our weekly meetings at the Buddhist Temple in S.I. I don't know if anything will come of it - but Bhante Kondanna asked me to, so here I go.

The thing is, I think it makes people uncomfortable. One person, for instance, asked me about three times tonight, "are you getting all this down?" He also kept looking over to see if I was writing what he was saying - I just don't think he likes it.

I could record it and take notes later, but the thing is, I really like taking notes. It makes me feel like an active participant, even if I'm not actually talking.

Maybe I should just get over it and do what I want to do. I think that's really the best thing.


Speaking of which, I have been thinking about getting into Weight Watchers again. I lost weight on it before, when I did it online.

Reasons to join the live club that's forming at my job:

* A regular meeting schedule may inspire me to keep this up
* WW was started, and got it's popularity, as a live meeting thing. Maybe that's because it works better that way.
* I stopped doing the WW online thing because I thought I could do it just as well on my own. That's not really happening, and maybe I need the live thing to keep inspired.

Reasons not to join the live club:

* I might run into co-workers or clients there - that could be uncomfortable
* The electronic thing gave me alot of freedom and I liked that - who knows if this will do the same thing?
* I don't know how supportive they will be of my strict vegetarian diet. And I don't want to pay for 10 sessions if they won't be supportive of it. The online group was really focused on lacto-ovo.

Plan - check out the ww website next - see if they've got a vegan option. If not, then maybe I won't do it. I think that's the strongest reason here.

Thanks for listening,
