learning

Thanks to Veda's hangman game, I learned a new and applicable word today:

dec·re·ment
(dkr-mnt) n.
1. The act or process of decreasing or becoming gradually less.
2. The amount lost by gradual diminution or waste.
3. Mathematics The amount by which a variable is decreased; a negative increment.
[Latin dcrmentum, from dcrscere, dcr-, to decrease; see decrease.]
decre·mental (-mntl) adj.

So thank you! This is what I hope to be doing over the next few months, seeing a significant decrement in my body size, in order to live a healthier life, for as long as it is willed - or til I frickin' give up. Thanks V.

Oh, quit talking foolishness. You will never give up. You, like the rest of us, enjoy the essence of challenge for what it is, for how it pushes, even in the lowest moments.

You also remember how Simple it all is at the core. That knowing shines through your words. Still, as with any endeavour, good luck with your intentions. Time for me to go break up a playful fight before my house gets destroyed...
