The Ugly Truth

Hey!! Remember Me!!??? Well, I mean - no offense taken if you forgot me (insert wink here).

It's been a little over 2 years since I've been here, which should tell you a lot about where I am. I could go on and on, I could make a lot of excuses but let me give you a short summary. For starters, I had some mental and health struggles that really impacted my weight loss. I've gone up and down and all around - story of my life!! End of story. Now, I weigh in much higher that I ever have, at a number I'm too embarassed to share just yet.

I'm tired... so tired. I'm tired of trying and failing. I am tired of trying and just not making progress, even with best efforts. I'm tired of comparing myself to others and wondering why I can't be like them. Most of all, I'm tired of allowing myself to be dragged down by all of this.

Recently, I've been working on my mental state to move me to a more positive place and prepare me as I start this journey again. I'm changing my approach this time. I'm changing my mind set - which is really where it's all at for me. My mom recently started a Bible study going through the book "Made to Crave" by Lysa TerKeurst. It's going to be a long process, but I am going to find my "want to" and with that I am going to find my success.

For now, I leave you with my plan and the promise that I will strive to be here checking in at least once a week. I hope you will join me. :)
Plan: 1. To begin working out again - at least 3 days a week for now.
         2. To hold myself accountable through this blog, through social media, and through my accountability partner.
         3. To work on my biggest struggle, which is proper portion sizes

I started by working out this morning with my all time favorite work out!!

Here's to a new journey, a clean slate, and making this happen for ME.
