When I started writing this blog post, it was 9.05 in the morning and I had just gotten out of bed without making it, and put on our robot vacuum, Ashitaka. But first I wasted a bunch of time snuggled under the covers checking my phone and playing with Toothless, the cat. I have to decide what to do today. It's Friday. And, I haven't been out of the house in 5 days.
My first big decision today is what to do about what I am doing. In 37 days it'll be Stéphane and my anniversary, in 57 days two of my good friends are getting married in Vancouver, in 95 days it's Halloween, in 134 days it's Stephane's office party, and in 150 days it'll be Christmas. One small step in the right direction could make all the difference when it comes to tackling all those events. Staying the same...won't lead anywhere. That's what's been going on for the last 3 months. Absolutely nothing. (With the exception of a fabulous trip to Hawaii...so I'm not really complaining, but I am a little...kinda.)
Will today be different? That is the question. I have decided to not waste the day plopped in front of a TV screen waiting for my partner in crime to come home from work. Today I will do something that makes me happy. I will do something that will contribute to my future happiness and well-being.
I guess before I do anything I should write some of my goals down. Classic Suzie, plan everything. To say that I want to lose weight is an understatement...I want to be where I was in 2013 right about now...2014 would be even better, and where I was in 2015 was in a significantly better place than where I was in 2016...but 2016 wasn't bad at all...so WTF is up with 2017? Well, I have fallen off the wagon. There's only so much I can do to hide this weight gain before I just start hiding myself. Oh wait. I haven't been outside in days...guess I am in hiding.
So, Goal #1 - do something, anything, healthy.
And Goal #2 - be grateful that you did that something/anything.
Now the last thing I want to do at this moment is weigh myself, because that will cause me to break down knowing all the damage that I have done to this incredible body over the last few months/years. But, the pain I suffered yesterday from simply walking around the house doing a few simple tasks was somewhat of a wake-up call. If I don't do something about this weight fast, I'm going to live in chronic pain brought on by junk food and inactivity, and that sucks more than being a little bit hungry from time to time and getting sweaty every day at some point.
I can do this...again.
