Square One

Thursday, October 06, 2011

I can't say I'm back. I've been gone too long to say that. I am starting at square one. From scratch. From the beginning. I'm not at the weight I was originally, so in that aspect it isn't quite square one. But with my attitude and my mental state of being, it's square one.

What happened? I got lazy again. Herniated a disc in my back. Felt sorry for myself. Went back to emotional eating. I just didn't care.

I need to care. I'm not sure where I am mentally, to be honest. I'm not sure I'm fully committed to this, just being honest here. But when I look in the mirror, I see the need. And then out of the blue an old sparkfriend contacted me. No such thing as coincidence.

My workout partner had a shift change, so no longer do I have that accountability and I guess I never reached a point where I was enough of an accountability partner for myself. Bummer, right? Oh well.

So. Here I go again. I reset my stage on here. Square One.

    Hey Beautiful! So glad that we can go at this again, together! Health is always a work in progress, so don't think about this as square one, necessarily - this is just a refocusing of priorities :)

I've got you on facebook, and on google+ ... so I'll try my best to bug the heck out of you -- but my schedule is a bit crazier than it was before :)

Welcome back, so glad you're here with me :)

Stephanie

    Thanks so much for all the support, everyone. I am feeling better, more confident, more focused today. I did drink 2 liters of water yesterday, so that's a good start.

    Welcome back and good luck this time around. And don't feel alone, we all lose our heads or our way from time to time (recently gained back about 10 pounds myself.) but what matters most is what we're gonna do today and I think you've made a great choice.

    While I'm glad I'm not alone, I'm sorry that you are having struggles too! You can help. I need to be held accountable. "Hey, I haven't seen any SP updates Ang, what the heck". Bug me. Poke at me. Give me a hard time. Please!! :)
