I woke this morning realizing I am – again – thin in my dreams. I had not realized that as I gained weight in RL I was also gaining in my dreams. My fat dreams had me sitting or walking, slowly, short distances. My fat dreams I was losing, just missing the plane, late for work, running late with too much to do. Oddly in my fat dreams I would wake and wonder who I was in that dream. While fat I had insomnia or fitful spurts of sleep, could this be caused by a fat life of survival?

Biking this Autumn I have ‘heard’ the Fremont Bridge as the artist in residence matched music with the bridge activity. This morning I watched a young Bald Eagle over Lake Union and noticed when I stop people and say “Look an Eagle!” I get excited smiles. I will lose weight and gain muscle so much faster in Autumn, Winter, and Spring due to Seattle’s battling winds off the lakes and Sound (a nice way of saying I hit a head wind regardless what direction I am!).
