Why is it always August?

You may have noticed I tend to drop off the planet from time to time. Maybe it's a few days, sometimes it's a few months, but sometimes it is a year or more.

I think I have a problem with consistency...I have commitment issues...

Anyway the slightly depressing fact is I have been a spark member for 5 years...and I weigh more now than when I started.

Don't get me wrong, this has nothing to do with Spark, when I use the tools here and actually get off my ass and do what I am supposed to I can loose the weight, I have done it.

Then something happens. Usually work related...sometimes personal or health related and I get completely derailed.

Other things take priority over me.

...and that is so stupid.

Because I really like me.

For whatever reason, in these lapses of caring for me, something happens that slaps me in the face and I realize, I really need to do this.

For me.

And it usually happens in August.

Oh, August. You fantastic month you.

Maybe you can help me with setting goals, because I seem to not be too good with that either.

Maybe you can help me use this site more.

...and blog more, I keep hearing how much it helps.

I will work on a plan, that has some goals in it(that are not scale related)

For now I am grateful:

I have a job
I drove to work in my awesome car that I own
I have this website with just about all the tools and info I could ever need
the sun is shining brightly and it's so nice outside
I am listening to awesome music on my tablet that my wonderful sister got for me for my birthday

and I love me.

and I love you all
