Monday, Monday!!!

I want to start off today telling you all why I write this blog.  I do not do it to make money (even though there is nothing wrong with that, I am just not that good at doing it).  I don’t do it for fame or to get 15,000 likes (even though that would be AWESOME).  Here are the main reasons I write:

1.     Accountability: knowing I have to publish my weight once a week and anyone who logs on to my page can see it keeps me honest and accountable.

2.     Documentation:  I like the idea of being able to express my feelings and documenting my journey over the next few years.  Having a record of all the things I have accomplished and the mistakes I have made will be priceless when I reach my goal.

3.     Motivation and Inspiration:  I hope that maybe just one person will be inspired to start their own journey.  I hope that by reading my words will help you realize that you are not alone in this struggle.  And your comments and likes help keep me motivated to keep going!

So now onto other things!  I have had a rough past 2 weeks.  I haven’t been able to exercise, my emotions have been all over the place, and I have just wanted to quit.  This morning I woke up and realized that it could be a fresh start.  Last week was supposed to be “get in the new routine” week and that didn’t happen with a hospital stay!  So I got up this morning and made breakfast, read my devotion, made the beds, straightened up the house, and did my first workout in 2 weeks!!!!  I was a little nervous about working out, but I managed to make it through the whole thing.  It is amazing how much better I feel physically and emotionally so far today.  In about an hour I am leaving for a long drive to Carmel to see the new eye specialist.  I am hoping a new and fresh opinion will give me some new treatment options.  I will fill you all in tomorrow!!!

I hope you all have a wonderful week!!!

Keep Losing,
