I had honestly forgotten about this blog and why I started it. It's lucky for me that there are 10 years in a decade :). Reading back through some of the posts, I see that I am still struggling with a lot of the same issues. In the past 10 months I have lost 23-26 pounds, however that is a daily struggle to keep on track.
Thinking back to why I started this blog, it was my attempt to get some of the "stuff" out of my head to make room for other more important "stuff". Over the past almost year, I have learned a lot more about myself. Currently I am struggling with my uncanny ability to get excited about something, start it and promptly fall off the wagon. It doesn't matter, I read a book about writing down your intentions, do it well for 8-10 days then, BAM!!! That's done. I've done 5 rounds of the 21 day fix, which amounted to 5 rounds of the 10-14 day fix. I have lost weight and I am stronger, I can even run 3.1 miles (5K) without stopping, which would be about the only thing I have finished.
Currently my list of things I am "working " on are nutrition, exercise, meditation, habits, goals, body image, self acceptance, decision making, all sorts of happiness projects, embracing my obliger tendency, taming my inner Mean Girl, and the list goes on. No wonder I feel a little overwhelmed and disappointed. I read a book or an article and immediately think I need to do this, get started and then move on to the next thing.
I can't quite figure out why I am this way, so today I begin again as a blogger, writing the "stuff" in my head down so I can make room for more "stuff" and hopefully somewhere along the way, finish what I've started.
