I suck as a dieter. There I said it. It's not my dirty little secret anymore. I don't have to hang my head in shame, I don't have to look away. I just have to accept it for what it is. I suck as a dieter. I kind of feel better about it now. A little relieved. But I know now that I have brought it out into the light I have to acknowledge my dirty little secret. I can't just shove it back in the corner with a box of ice cream and expect it to be quiet and happy. Nope, now it is like a mutated gremlin. I have fed it after midnight, I have gotten it wet and it is out for blood.
I also suck as a blogger. I was gone for a week and I think the only one who noticed was my mom. I think the only ones who read this are my family and a few friends who feel bad for me or are truly encouraging me. SO to you all I say Thank You. I read an article from-blunderer-to-blogger-a-cautionary-tale It made me think about the fact as much as I want to lose weight maybe I am not passionate about losing weight. But lately I don't think I am passionate about anything. So that makes it hard to write about it. When I don't know what IT is. But I do know that I like money saving mom. So I think that since the kids are now in school! OMG yay!!! I might just have to take some of her tips.
But the point of this blog is my weight loss journey. WEIGHT LOSS!!! WEIGHT LOSS!!!
OK I said it. Those dirty words. There they are again. Dirty ninja words of horror. AHHH. So I am going to wipe my slate clean!
This is a clean slate!! I am starting over!!!
See I look at it this way all my promises from the past all my goals all of my all of mys have piled up and now it feels like goals and promises mean nothing. But I need them to. So I am starting fresh. Today is a new day. I am a new loser, a new blogger, a new twist on me.
So I have a goal its as simple as this. I have 3 days til I blog again. In those three days I am going to exercise 30 minutes each day. That's it, that's all, 30 minutes. It doesn't matter. Walk a dog, ride my bike, do a video. Whatever! Just do it.
A friend of mine started a blog and I think I will be referring to her blog often. What We Eat is a great blog set up by my friend Jill for food that is friendly for people like me who are trying to watch ourselves get back into a girlish figure. One of these days I will tell you all about Jill. She is one of those people that makes a difference in the world and never even knows it until 20 years later when shes sitting at her desk at work and a long lost friend sends her a message on Facebook.Jill is one of my Hero's.
Well I need my sleep. Fighting the gremlins in the night is a lot of hard work and if I plan on taking this blog to the masses I need my beauty sleep. So I think it is time for a prayer.
Dear God, Thank you for today. Thank you for both of my children making it through the first day of school successfully. I am so proud of both of them. Thank you for watching over my sister, daughter and niece on the expressway. Sometimes things come out of right field and it takes quick thinking and an angel to protect us and watch over us. Please be with Jenny Hutson and her family as they struggle through the health issues her dad is facing. Please God comfort those who are in pain. Those whose hearts are broken, whose arms are empty and who are looking for answers. Please help those who fight demons only they can see. Please watch over us Lord, guide us and protect us. In your name we pray. Amen.
Cancun countdown on Sunday. I didn't forget.

Hang in there...! I have been really bad this week also. (Not keeping track of what I eat or exercise). So I am also "starting over"...
It's the old saying you can talk the talk but can you walk the walk...?
We know what is good/bad for us, what we should be doing/not doing. We even set goals and have a mental picture of where we want to end up in the end. But we loose our way along the road. That is why we have family and friends to kick our butts in gear. To give the push when needed.
We love ya and are here for journey/stumbles..
And that is why you are my best friend. I love ya too!
Hello!! I was looking for a blogger that was in a similar position as me. I also am starting over today :) Keep up the good work. Stay motivated and thanks for your blog and the motivation. I'm also starting over. Let's do this!
Tammy I am so glad to have you join me on my journey. We can do this! I usually blog on Sundays. But I might drop in say on a Wednesday, just because I can.
