Starting Over February 18, 2011

One of my favorite sayings is “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step”. That is what I was starting last spring when I began this blog and started trying to lose weight, a journey of a thousand miles. Things started pretty well and I lost 13 pounds in 9 weeks and looking back I was feeling pretty good about the whole deal. And then.
And then, and not to sound cliche, I fell off of the wagon, and in just a short period of time, I lost focus, quit posting, quit weighing myself and as far as my journey goes, I JUST QUIT!
Now I find myself one year older and no closer to my goal, and possibly even farther away from it. I don’t really know because I haven’t weighed myself in about a month, and I don’t think I have just lost a few pounds over these last four weeks.
I want to get started again. I do. Sort of.
I am having a hard time finding the motivation to get started. I know I need to. I know how to. I know that all of the sweets that I eat are not helping me at all. I just need to do it! This post is my declaration. I will get back up, and take the first step. Then steps. Building my journey as I go.
Welcome back! I think what you need to think of is it doesn’t matter how many times you start/stop, just that you want to keep going. I also “fell off the wagon” last summer and would start, stop, start, stop…and I’ve started again and am doing well. I’ll support you if you support me!
