The original purpose of this little blog was to help me stay on top of the weight loss I managed some five or six years ago. 45 pounds in five months time. I'd finally found myself at, what I considered to be, an ideal weight (x.) But I was afraid I wouldn't be able to keep it off, so I thought if I blogged about the challenges of doing so it might help. It did, but over time I felt like I had it under control. In fact I stopped writing a whole bunch about that because I'd managed to keep it off. The blog took on more of a travel based, taking care of other people's children based, general receptacle of ideas.
Then in December/January I put on five pounds that I couldn't quite shake. Then over the spring? Another five. And since the beginning of June? Another 5!!!! Aaaaack! I'm not going back. I'm not! I will cut off limbs before I will return to the days of old.
So, I'm back to my original idea...but with a twist. Instead of trying to hold off weight, I'm actually going to need to lose some. 15 pounds is the goal. The journey starts today.
SELF IMPOSED RULES:
1. Easy on the pity party (though that is really what this is, isn't t.)
2. Keep the rants short (good luck with that!)
3. Eye on the prize (x!)
So if this kind of stuff bugs you, or falls into your "don't want to hear about it" zone, just look for the "x" in the title and stay away. Otherwise, hang on everybody, here we gooooooo!
Can't WAIT for the rant post The California State Fair.
