Housekeeping

Do you ever go through your closet and just take everything to Goodwill and start over?

Yeah, me neither. But I SHOULD. And that's what I'm doing with this blog. Mostly.

I got tired of looking back at old entries where I was just whining about making no progress. That's not helpful. I kept the most recent entries, although they're boring...also the oldest ones, and some that had good observations. But I deleted a whole bunch just now.

I don't like the feeling of failing over and over again. That SUCKS. I know that this blog is supposed to chronicle my struggle with my weight and my attempts to change it...and it still does...I just got rid of some of the more negative stuff, because that doesn't help anything.

I'm also not saying that everything from here on out will be positive, or particularly interesting. Just like you always have clothes in your closet that looked AWESOME in the store, but then you pull them out later and wonder what you were thinking...that's the way some entries are always going to be. But, there are also the clothes that continue to fit great and look amazing for years after you buy them, and entries like that are the ones that will remain here.

Not much progress to report on the weight front, although I did measure my waist, hips and thighs to see if anything had changed yet. It hasn't. I am resting today...maybe I'll go walk around a store or the dog park or something for a little cardio, but my body HURTS. I need a break. It will only be a break of like one day...I am NOT flagging in my determination...but I'm feeling a little run down. I've been busting my ass for the last couple of days.

Ok, later. Here's to new starts...real ones, not those ugly-Christmas-sweater ones. : )
