Back on the Scale...Again...

Inspired by my long time friend Jodi, I'm joining the blogosphere once again. This is a more personal and private blog. I don't intend to share with many, so if you are invited to follow and read, be kind.

The old joke is that I keep losing my weight and in return it keeps finding me. And once again, this has proven to be the case. I lost around 50 pounds between June of 2013 and August of 2014. Now here it is, two years later, and the clothes are snug and the scale is up there. Not all those pesky lbs have found me, but more than 30 did.

I know what I need to do to lose weight. It's just the motivation I struggle with. Some days I'm all in; other days I just want to sit with a box of cheese its.

Since my physical last week where reality smacked me in the face, I've gone back to journaling my food to keep me accountable. I instigated a walking challenge. So I weighed myself this morning and guess what? Yup. It still works. I lost quite a bit this week.

So the initial euphoria has started. I understand this will carry me through the next few days, but soon there will be a bored evening or a simple "I really want it" moment. Those are the moments I hope to use this lovely blog to get me through.

That being said, the sun is shining and it's not beastly hot. All my work emails are caught up. The ethics presentation is still on the back burner, simmering away, but needs to take shape and form. Ditto the blog for the company web site. So I think I'll leash up the dog, tie on the walking shoes, and go get in a mile or so.
