Not endorsing, just reporting. The reason is likely that the man apologized and made peace with the victim decades ago, and they (like the victim) are also of the opinion that Polanski was set up by a crooked judge who was going to exploit the situation and really ruin Polanski's life with a last minute extreme punishment for a bit of fame; that Polanski left the country not to evade the accusation, but rather the life-ending punishment he heard the judge had in store for him, and that spending half his life in exile is a kind of 'time served' for a guy who, again, has since made amends for his crime with the person who was the victim of that crime. Essentially, these Hollywood people are saying, he's one of our greatest artists, and the matter has been settled everywhere but in the American justice system for long enough that the matter ought to be dropped.

 

Brand, thing, behavior, method, advice, mantra, etc.

I swear by Blackwing pencils.

Also, the 'two minute rule', which has really improved my life: "if it takes two minutes or less to do, just do it now; if it takes longer, schedule it." I've got untreated attention issues and it's very easy for me to notice something needing done, and overlook or procrastinate it because it seems inconvenient in the moment. Having a totally painless rule that forces me to acknowledge that thing I should pick up, that trash bag I should change, etc, or, to at least put on my calendar anything I mustn't forget in the long run has been great for me.

 
 

Fell off the wagon for a few weeks. Just eating like shit. Not keeping track of anything in my app. Got back on yesterday. Went over on my calories but my weight has stayed below 200 which I'm grateful for. For my height and build I should be around 170 and I'm recommitting to getting there. As it is I've only really come down from 205 in the few months since I first started using LoseIt.

I know beer is the biggest contributor. I've just got such a taste for it and I'm very bad with moderation when it comes to anything addicting like that. Sugar, soda, just anything that's a "well maybe just one" kind of treat. You know it's never just one but also, the more you consume it regularly the harder it is to say no.

The bright spots though are that I've been exercising more regularly (decided at 35 to try and skateboard again, which is one hell of a workout), and that I've been taking extra steps to make sure I've got healthy food within reach at home or at work. I'm also trying not to overeat. We went to Olive Garden last night for a celebration, and I only had half of my chicken parmigiana because that's how much made me feel full. A less CICO conscious version of me would've eaten all of it because that's what was on my plate. As it is, now I've got tasty leftovers for tonight.

Thanks for your time. I believe I can do better. Root for me, please.
