Back in the Game…

Morning SunI’m not going to bother with another “confessional”…argh!!

Yes, it’s been a LONG time and I’ve not been keeping up with the blog or my weight loss (GAIN!) journey! This is the beginning of a new day…

You all know me…if you’ve followed my journey at all, you know that I’ve vowed to keep it real with you.

The truth is that I have been busy/crazy/stressed, etc. I’ve not wanted to confess that I’ve not been taking care of myself or keeping up with healthy habits.

It’s been a rough few yrs that have seen job loss, moves, heartbreaks…BUT you know I’m not one to dwell! LOL

It’s a new day! Year, quarter, month….

Getting ready to do my April goals has inspired me to note that it is Q2 and I think one of the best things I could do this quarter is reconnect with my wonderful weight loss community – get honest and honor your wonderful friendships by asking for some accountability.

Hopefully, I can also inspires some of you along the way and we can REALLY know that this is life. You lose weight, make some mistakes and get right back in the game again.

I know that I’ve fallen back into some old patterns. So where do I go from here?

I REALLY want to learn and grow and not fret that it HAS to be a pattern in the future.

Awesome things are happening and I don’t want my weight/fitness level to stand in the way of anything.

SO, here’s to the first of many regular updates to come, including some new goals and check-ins. Also watch for some new 30 Day Challenges! YAY! Join me…let’s do it!

I appreciate you all more than you know!

P.S. Official weigh-in to come, BUT (gulp) getting real…I’m guessing the scale will show 215 lbs at least.  Onward…I refuse to gain back another pound and I KNOW getting a good 20 off will feel amazing!
