Sometimes

Sometimes it can't be the way you planned. You don't have to color inside the lines. So this is a "sometimes." I'm not gonna write about health, fitness, or losing weight.

Tonight I'm gonna write about being lonely. As this day is drawing to a close, I think about you. And I miss you. I wish you were here. I wish I could lay my head on your chest and fall asleep listening to the beat of your heart. I wish I didn't have to do it all. I wish we could take turns walking the dog. I wish....I wish you didn't have to be gone. I miss you. I wish I didn't have to miss you. Come home. Soon. Please?

Tomorrow is not another day one

So my mother has started blogging (shout out to you mommsie). Maybe I should take my own advice and write a little myself?

Update on the weight loss process: since April 4, 2011 when I started this whole journey, I've lost 18 pounds. I don't know what my BMI or anything looks like now, but I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to figure out...

After looking at a chart that my wonderful trainer gave me in the beginning, it looks like my BMI should be 30, which is almost out of the "obese" category, and into just the "overweight" category. Let me just say 'WOOHOO!!" That's very exciting news for me. ~does a little happy dance~

And I have kept up my promise with my honey. I have been using my treadmill, not as a clothes rack, but as it was intended to be used. I read my Kindle (thanks again honey) while I put in my time on what I affectionally call the Dreadmill. Hopefully I'll have met my goal of 44 total pounds by the time I see Honey in March. I've got 6 months, and 26 more pounds to go. I can do this.

Dear Motivation, where are you? Love Me

I'm sick of sitting around, not doing anything. I'm sick of not working out (as backwards to my old life as that is.) But even with my accountability calls every morning ~wink you know who you are~ I can't find the motivation to get on my treadmill. I say, "Oh I'll do it after I've finished this cup of coffee." But then I need to wait after my coffee and by then I lose it. I need to start running towards my life again. I need to get my health and my weight in check now, before it becomes too big of a hurdle later in life. Why can't I do this on my own?
