Oh man - it's been 2 years?!

 

Holy smokes... so I slacked a bit I guess.... And while I'd love to tell you I've worked super hard and reached goal weight....well, I haven't. (shocker!!)  

Well I don't know where I was last time I blogged, but I can tell you I'm heavier and likely less healthy now. ::sigh:: I kept tossing around the idea of getting back on here, and today I'm taking the plunge. I'm not waiting for a Monday...or for Halloween to pass...or until all the bad stuff is out of the house -- I'm saying "Hey, remember me?" now.  If you haven't read my blogs before here's a summary...(which I'm sure I've gone over after my many breaks before - so sorry for the repeat - I'll try to keep it condensed)

• I've been overweight pretty much forever it seems
• I've tried almost all the "quick fixes" and not so quick fixes- Atkins, Keto, South Beach, Herbalife, Shakeology, WW, VLCD, Diet Bets, Nutrisystem, ItWorks...
• I rejoined WW online about 2 months ago and haven't really done anything with it... but I'm going to change that
• I've got a BeachBody on Demand Membership that I'm not using... but I'm going to change that too!
• I struggle with focusing on slow and steady wins the race.  My ultimate goal is so far away that I get discouraged often
• I have anxiety and let it get the best of me
• I self-sabotage and give up on myself a lot of the time
• Luckily I have an amazing partner in life who loves me for me and will help me get to where I want to be!! 

I have plenty of bad habits - as we all do - but it's time to prioritize my health and well-being.  Time to make some changes.  When taking the pics above, I thought about doing the frumpy, no-makeup, bad angle pic that's depressing and blah.  Instead, I straightened my hair, put some makeup on and took some pics I felt good about.  I'm going to make changes and it's going to be noticeable no matter what.  I have so many pics just from life and candid shots to make me not feel good about myself.

So I'm not keep on as I have to make dinner (Roast Turkey, Acorn Squash) but I'm going to try to commit to getting on here frequently. Of course I'll keep it real - as I always do.  You get the good, the bad and the dirty ugly truth --- and I'll try to limit falling off the face of the Earth.  I'm gonna try to diligently track on WW and get back to working out some!  

Thanks for reading --
