November? Seriously??!!?

Fantastic! It's now November and since my last July "surprise" blog- I have only gained-no loss. I returned that 6 wk Body Makeover cos it was too strict. OK fine- it's another excuse. I take it back. Now weeks before I leave on vacation, I am still the same size. *huge sigh...

INCEPTION

Wow this movie was so good I had to blog about it. I haven't seen a movie that good in a long time. Go see it.

July?!? Already??

Has a whole month passed? Dang.

Anywho, not much has happened in a month except I haven't lost any weight. Go figure. I bought the 6 week body makeover and am hoping I stick with something for once. I notice that after a week if I haven't lost 50 lbs, I get discouraged so I'm going to blog to keep motivated. =)

So week one: I'm actually impressed with myself. I've been eating pretty well. I'm not going to lie, I ate some things I shouldn't have but knowing that I wasn't going to restrict myself, it made it easier for me to follow through. I packed a weeks worth of lunch for work and it's been very helpful. I didn't exercise though, I really should. My girls aren't home. It would be so easy to go to the gym right now. I've been spending all my time at the office instead. This week I've been able to pull myself away at a more reasonable hour. Wow, I've impressed myself twice this week! lol
I weighed myself every night at the same hour this week and have lost a total of 3 lbs! Yay!

I marked the calender and gave myself a healthy weight loss goal every month. I hope to reach my desired weight by my birthday. First goal date is in December before I leave for Europe. I have outfits planned out in my head already. I'm looking forward to packing light. Fat people require bigger clothing that takes up more room. I am trying to avoid that. ;-)

I'm going to take this week by week. Time goes by so quickly, you (ok, me!) only notice how slow and painful it is when you can't eat a ribeye smothered with butter. Damn.

So far so good... I'll keep posting.

June..

I looked back and forgot I deleted all of my previous posts. At the time it was probably a good idea but now I'm wishing I had memories from my Eurotrip to read about. Oh well.

So, here I am sitting here and realizing that the only time I want to blog is when I'm either traveling or having challenges in my life. The funny thing is that I'm the most private person you'll ever meet yet here I am about to spill my heart out online to the world. Strange eh?

After turning the big 3-0, I've been thinking about what I want to do with my life, plan my future. I haven't yet come to anything solid except somewhere in my 5 year goal involves me trying to leave this place and go somewhere far away. A place where I can feel like I'm home.

A note to my readers (if any) -my blogs will be somewhat cryptic and it may not be as clear but it's my story, my thoughts and I don't think it needs to be explained anymore than I'm willing to share. So let's rewind 6 months back for a quick recap of my year so far...

January- I thought to myself, "This year is going to be pretty amazing".

February- Proved myself to be true when an unexpected gift landed me back to a place I'd like to call home.

March- I can't think straight anymore, things are falling apart. Have no idea what is going to happen.

April- The big 3-0! It came hard but the celebration- Mandatory. Something..anything to lift me from this sudden loss of a perfect idea. After a long exhale, I realized that it was nothing more than my disappointment that the perfect idea was not so perfect- for me. It didnt sting as bad. Moving on.. Another unexpected gift arrived: Scrabble! Addictive.

May- Addiction is good when it challenges you to think and use your brain. Though I find myself and my brain clouded these days..the game has gotten my attention. I can't believe I'm enjoying it so much. Hmmm..

June- Here we are in the beginning days of June. In one damn week, I've managed to yet again pull myself out of a plot to what might have been a good movie. The cast is all wrong. The chemistry on set however is starting to show signs of potential....Production begins.

And present day- June 5th at 12:30am. It appears that location is all wrong. Afraid of the possibility of a flop, I'm not that confident to take on such a production. I think its best to start from a far.

The farther the better. Or should I say the farther the "safer"?

1:16 am

I can't sleep. I've got a million things running through my mind. This week has drained the life outta me and I'm feeling the effects from it. I think I should take tomorrow off but knowing me, I won't. A part of me wants to recap this 'challenging' week so you can understand my frustration but a bigger part of me thinks it's best to not bring it up again. I better not bring it up.

Anyway, here I am sitting in my living room tired and sleepy as hell but no where near actually passing out just yet. I wish I could. My emotions have been running and I'm not sure how I'm feeling at the moment. I guess you can say a little bit of everything...which is really bad right???

I've been trying to fall back into the "Secret" method but it hasn't work for me. I'm not going to give up but I swear I feel like I'm getting shafted waiting on the goodness to fly back into my life. No such luck as this has probably been the worst week I've ever experienced. I'm trying so hard to remain positive but I keep getting the wind knocked out of me. What can I say?

Until I can socialize again with others, I think I may need to take a few days to myself to figure out what I'm going to do. My head is spinning. I better try to get to bed. Will continue tomorrow.

Goodnight lovelys
