Off the Band Wagon... and Back on Again.

So over the last month and especially over the Thanksgiving Holiday, I fell off of the band wagon. Hard. But I will not give excuses or try and explain it all away. Nor will I sulk and give up. Tomorrow morning I will face the music and step on that scale again. If I have gained or stayed at the weight of the last weigh in, I will start the count over. However, if I have lost (which is highly unlikely) I will continue the weigh in process and add the loss to what I have previously posted.

In this recharge of the Fight of the Fluff there will be a few changes...
  1. Weigh In - I will do a weigh in once a week. While I felt that doing a weigh in once a week might hinder my ability to lose, I think I used that as an excuse and a crutch instead of something positive. So now I will answer to the scale once a week and I really cant slack off.
  2. Prioritize - This week I spent a lot of time getting a number of things done around the house and prioritizing what needs to get finished. I feel like I always failed because I never had enough time for me. I was always trying to clean or cook or keep up with the girls and when I got overwhelmed I would skip out on my obligations to myself. Never good. This time I have caught up, set priorities and will allow myself to have some time for me as well as time to work on projects that aren't the usual daily things. Knowing this makes me a happier and more driven person, which I am sure will help in the long run.
  3. Blog - Keeping up with the blog... plain and simple. I wont allow myself to fall behind or keep from posting because its something I have a hard time sharing. The whole point is to share my thoughts and feelings as well as my successes and setbacks along this journey with those people I know well and have been my constant cheerleaders as well as a few strangers who might find something I have to say inspirational or just helpful.

As I have said before, this is going to be one heck of ride but I cant wait get moving again. Thanks again to all of you out there who have been so helpful and supportive. It means the world to me... and more.

I think we all have issues prioritizing and putting ourselves first. It's in our nature (at least you and me that is) that we want to help others and we always end up second. But what you will hear time and time again is that you have to make yourself a priority. Because if you don't take care of yourself, then who will take care of the others when you finally crack?
