I have no idea if anyone will read this - but Gen reached out to me a few weeks ago and it kind of woke me up a little bit. I've been lying low, regrouping and taking some time for myself that I knew I needed. So what does making yourself happy and NOT focusing on every calorie consumed and burned do for you? I'd like to say - it just magically fell off - like the guests on Oprah after reading and connecting to Geneen Roth's "Women, food and God." That didn't happen - it boils down to hard work, focus, exercise and tracking what you eat. I know, big surprise for everyone. At least now, I'm in the right optimistic place and mentally ready for the work that I want to put into this.
I have a lot of blogs to catch up on and I'm excited about it. I can't wait to see how everyone is doing. I'm going to call and schedule a fill tomorrow as I basically have no restriction at all. I also have not been working out - and I'm ready to change that too. I'm wanting to exercise just to feel better. To sleep better.
I'm also beginning my master's program for an MBA in Business Strategy and Organization. I'm excited about that too. I'm just ready to be proactive in a number of ways and areas in my life.
Please leave me a comment, stop by and say hello, I hope that I can reconnect with all of you. I need the support and experience to learn from all of you (again).
Welcome back :)
ReplyDeleteI was so excited to see your post! Welcome back - I had been thinking about how you were doing the other day when I went through my blog list.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see you! This is a new year starting, you can do this! Very impressed with your school plans. My husband is working 12 hours a day 7 days a week and working on his masters too. Just keep going and you will be there before you know it!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you back :)
ReplyDeleteHi, I have just stopped by your blog. Hope you are well
ReplyDeleteYay! You're back!!!!! I was hoping for the Geneen Roth "magical weight loss" as well but you are right, it just does not happen that way. It works for maintaining, that's for sure. But "maintain," at this point, is just another word for "plateau!"
ReplyDeleteAwesome about the MBA plans! Welcome back!
Oh welcome back!! Its so great to see you again. Sometimes we all need that sabbatical to sit back and rethink things. I am so glad you're doing ok now :) xxx
