Ready, Set, Start Again

Ok...

I am starting TODAY! The past 2 days were a good warm up, with detours. I am in a contest in which I have to lose 6 lbs in 10 days or lose $10. Or win the others' $10. So...get to it! I have such a difficult time saying "no." I mean, geez, I have to practice that AND eating differently. That is so hard. Saying no. Monday it was the offer of champagne and yummy sides at dinner with family we haven't seen in a long time and yesterday it was a catered lunch at work and dinner at Meghan's with an offer of rice pilaf and Oreos. But to be honest, I don't think she offered me the Oreo's, I think I just I just took them out of her cookie drawer. I mean...I know. I start out mornings so strong and by dinner the willpower is looooowwwww. I need to just go to bed at 5:00 pm. So, I am starting again. Today. This morning. Ready, set, go! Again.

Livin Light. One Day. Soon? Hopefully.

Well...

Day one of blogging. My own blog. Hmmm. Not sure about this. Just got off Facebook. Too addicting. Hopefully this will be a happy medium. Which, as an aside, I would love to be. A medium. Size that is. Ok. One day. Today it is XL. But I have hope. Again. Like last year. And the year before. And, well, the eight years before that. But, one day it's gotta work. I feel like I have found the light with Jimmy Moore's website and podcasts. I feel like his guidance, information and the support is going to be THE difference. So, today I begin. My own blog. If only I didn't have to compete for computer time with the husband and kids. Maybe with the money I save not buying sweet treats I can get my own laptop. Then, get ready for some really good posts. But, for now, short and sweet. Wait, I don't want to say sweet. Makes me hungry. And not for an egg salad sandwich. Let's say, it's a "light" blog. Like I will be one day. Light. No. Like I will be today. Today I will practice being light. Feeling peace and weightlessness and lightness in my lift. In my attitude. And soon, on my scale. Sending you some light as well. Have a great day!
