Big talk, no action. Yup. That's me alright. How many years has this drug on now? Way too many. All I know to do is to pick myself up and try again. And just keep trying until I get it right.
I only have two resolutions for this new year: (1) To finally get my weight under control and get down to a healthy weight, and (2) To finish (and publish) my novel. I would love to have something BIG to celebrate at the end of 2012. It would be really amazing to celebrate the publication of my first book at a much smaller size--a size I am finally not ashamed of.
I think instead of setting mini goals for myself, I'm just gonna try taking things one day at a time. That's all. Just one day at a time. If I mess up today, there's not really any reason I'll necessarily do it again tomorrow. I just need to focus on today and let tomorrow worry about itself---something that is a really good practice to master. Some of the best weight loss advice I've ever heard was not even about weight loss...nor from a real person. This year, as often as I may stumble, I want to "just keep swimming, just keep swimming" and keep picking myself back up. So thanks, Dorie, for the sage advice.
So, here we are on January 10. Starting weight tonight (on the bedroom scale even) was 208. Let's just see where tomorrow takes me.
