I skipped August AGAIN, but it pretty much read like last year. In case you didn't get a chance to peruse that blog post, here it is again, in all it's glory:

RE: 6/18/13 post
It didn't "start today," but I've lost some weight anyway!
This week has been a "eat whatever not-good-for-you-food-you-want" week for me.
This, too, shall pass!

It starts today!
I may not be able to run a mile or a marathon, but I have FINALLY decided that some sort of exercise program starts TODAY!!!
I have a few DVDs and access to Netflix and Roku exercise shows/channels. I also have beautiful Denver to walk around. Slow and steady wins the race--the race I intend to WIN!
My game plan also includes printing out a blank calendar (can you believe I don't even own a calendar?) and logging exercise minutes each day as a visual reminder.
I eat fairly healthfully, but that can also improve; back on the smoothie wagon!

It's high time that I believe in myself!!!

requested update
My friend has requested (about 3 weeks ago) that I update this ol' thang that I've been ignoring for some time. I don't have a specific thing I want to write about, so I'll just ramble for a bit.
*I downloaded (FREE from Amazon) and read, "How Much Do You Weigh?: The Stigma Defying Photobook." While I know that I am not defined by the number on a scale or a clothing tag, it is a positively reassuring e-book full of gorgeous women who are honest about their struggles with their body image. I have decided to get rid of my bathroom scale and concentrate more on the way I feel. I have added daily blends consisting of fresh or frozen greens and fruit, nuts, chia seeds, spirulina and chlorella powders and green tea. I've been having these blends for breakfast every morning for a few weeks and feel really good!
*I have 9 more months until I am vested by my employer. I want to research and read and study and discover something I'm truly passionate about that I can parlay into a career. I am sick and tired of having to show up at a job, that doesn't fuel my creativity and passion, to earn a barely-pays-my-bills paycheck. I've bitched about this for YEARS and YEARS, but have still not figured out what I want to do.
*I really miss living in the middle of nowhere. Strange, but true! Living in the concrete jungle, I hear sirens EVERY.SINGLE.DAY! There is always traffic and there are always people around. I miss sitting on my porch at night and watching heat lightning in the summer. I miss listening to the rain and the smell of our freshly cut yard. I grew up by a river where I spent many days wading, swimming, fishing and throwing stones. While Colorado is beautiful, it's land-locked. I'm very much looking forward to going to Estes Park in a couple of weeks because it reminds me of home!
*The thought of losing my Grandma scares me to death and makes me burst into tears at the drop of a hat. She's 91 and has lost most of her sight. She is now complaining of a sore neck (she has swollen lymph nodes and has had a CT scan). She's going to see a specialist later this month. I hate to think the worst, but that's where my mind goes. I pray to God that she is healthy and stays with me a few more years!
I guess that's all for now. See you in another 6 months!!! *wink*

new year
I'm starting this post with just 12 minutes remaining in 2012. I have learned a lot about myself in the last 365 days. Through some adversity, I was reminded what amazing friends and family I have. Being independent for so long has made me realize how much I want a special man in my life. This year's birthday, while just a number, made me take a serious look at my health. I am really trying to recognize every opportunity to laugh and just enjoy it with the most genuine belly laugh I have. My emotions are something I have to work on, and I am trying to deal with this revelation. It's not easy for me to feel vulnerable, but it's necessary for me to deal with what I'm feeling at the time I'm feeling it rather than stuffing it down and burying it, primarily under food. I have lots of old hurt I need to let go because I have so much good to look forward to and I want to do that with a healthy attitude.
All those things being said, I wish you all a happy and healthy New Year! Cherish your family and friends, laugh often and love with all your heart!
