Time to Regroup

I read this quote today:

“Last summer I complained to a non-Latter-day Saint friend that I was exhausted, having no fun, living like an automaton. Nonsympathetically, she countered, ‘What do you think this is? A dress rehearsal? This is your life, Carol. Fix it.’ I expected a pat and a kind word. Instead, I got a splash of reality square in the face. She was, of course, quite right. I wasn’t giving my life value, so I didn’t feel it had value. I went home, reread the parables of the sower and of the talents, and regrouped.” (A Singular Life, ed. Carol L. Clark and Blythe Darlyn Thatcher, Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1987, pp. 35–36.)

Its time to regroup, create new goals and change old ones. Changes are coming...

I thinking of giving up...seriously.

Vacay Munchies

Why am I constantly hungry when I'm on vacation? After a great day at the Santa Monica Beach, I'm clean and warm from a hot shower, and now all I can think of is chips and salsa and chocolate. I did go jogging along the beach this morning for 30 minutes, so at least I have that going for me.

HALF WAY MARK!!!!!!!!

I have lost 15 1/2 pounds as of this morning! Holy Schmolies! I never thought it would have taken this long, getting old sucks! But I can now see that if I can make it this far, and I can go even farther. I'm concerned about my timeline though. I really don't want to spend another 5 months losing 15 pounds. As much as I don't want to, I'm thinking of really cutting back on my calories, and really paying attention to the calories I'm taking in.

You know, I say all the stuff...but what I'm really thinking of are these...



Go figure!

Dear Lord,

I just served and helped at a funeral for 6 1/2 hours. Please bless me by having me burn 5,000 calories for each hour of my service.

Amen

Errrrr!

I think I'm in a freakin' rut again! Have you noticed I haven't been posting much, or putting my weigh-ins down? Its like I go through these phases where I stop caring and eat 5 cookies. What is wrong with me? Errrrrr!

Wah wah wah wahhhhh.

Didn't make my 15 pound goal today, but in my defense I was out of town and its that time of the month. I'm only 2 pounds away. I'm extending the date to the end of this week. Time to get serious!
