I'm Baack!

As you can see in the posts below, I'm one to make guarantees and then not follow through on them - classy, I know. I didn't read the books I wanted to, I didn't finish my summer home video project, I didn't watch all the movies I wanted to, and I haven't been on point in my weight loss efforts.

But the beauty of life is that every day is a new day. Every morning is a new opportunity to redeem yourself, make the right choices and see the changes. And that has to be your mentality when tackling weight loss. Because you're not going to eat perfectly everyday, you're not going to get to the gym everyday. But if you learn from your mistakes and pick yourself back up, you'll get to where you want to be eventually.

And sure, it's easy to type this in a blog - but it's more difficult to actually believe and live out daily. I've gone through some rough stretches in the recent past due to my failed attempts at weight loss. Entire days would be lost emotionally, and those bad emotions would drive me to make poor eating choices and I wouldn't go anywhere but backwards.

But recently I've felt a renewed strength in this department. The motivation is really strong, my support system is growing and my desire to make this change is finally clicking. But I still want to prove to myself that I can stay on task for longer than two weeks. And prove to all my cheerleaders who are still waiting for me to break out of my shell.

So here's to an amazing week to get this ball rolling a bit faster! Best of luck to all of you this week who are in the same situation!
