Putting Me First

Hello Friends! I thought I would try my hand at blogging again. I remember how much better I felt whenever I was stressed, or worried, or disappointed in my weight loss progress, after sharing in this little space. A space all my own. Sometimes it's hard to carve out time to do something like this, because it is just for me. As women, we tend to take care of everyone else first, to make sure everyone else is content and doing what they want, and we kind of forget about ourselves. We tend to be very unselfish. As a Mom to 3 adult children, who haven't needed me daily for years, you would think that that I had this part all figured out, but I don't. It's hard to change the way you've always been. I now have tons of time to do anything I want to do.....things just for me. It's about time I did them. My brother, who is just a year and 6 days older than I, passed away the beginning of this month. It felt different loosing my brother, than it did losing my dad. Your s...

Sometimes, "Later" Never Comes

Happy New Year!  2021 Is Here!!! Everyone is saying that it has to be better than 2020.  Yes, so many have passed away unnecessarily.  Many have been sick and who knows that lasting effects it will bring.  Many have struggled financially, and mentally.  On the positive side, there is such much we have all learned.  We have learned to re-connect with family and friends....We've cooked more...We've done home renovations....We have learned to appreciate "down time".  I actually haven't done any thing like this, as  I am very blessed and my job has continued throughout.   Even though I have tried to stay positive, even I am getting tired of all of the changes and protocol the Corona Virus has brought.  I want to go to the store with some Starbucks, and shop forever and buy absolutely nothing.  I want to sit with my Sister and Daughter in a coffee shop and talk for hours.  I want to see my Group, and catch up without being...

No More Excuses

Monday's are my weigh in days.  I am trying not to put as much time and energy into my weight loss as I used to because it can easily take over my life.  I am learning that, while it is a part of my life, it's not my entire reason for living.   I weighed in this morning and did a reset and have a new starting weight.  I am up.  It was inevitable.  I had a foodie type weekend.  Greg went to camp, I stayed here because of my Momma.  I was looking forward to being alone for a few days.  I could watch whatever I wanted, and eat whatever I wanted, and I did.  I would like to say that I regretted it, but I really don't.  I had a fun weekend, but now it's time to get serious.  I've been up and down all year.  Making excuses....Covid, my Dad, vacation mode while at camp....blah, blah, blah poor me.  Who am I kidding?  I have been up and down for years now.  I am tired of excuses.  I am tired of all the gai...
