Okay, I’m BACK!  FINALLY!  I had a great little break from reality, a nice vacation with my husband….and now I’m back into my normal life.  It’s amazing how much you miss your routine when you’re not in it.  I missed checking in with everything and reading the blogs.  I missed my exercise routine; trying to do a little here and a little there was just not doing it for me.  Oddly enough, I missed eating healthy.  I missed how  felt from exercising and eating right.  I never knew how great it was making me feel, how much it lifted my self esteem, until I took a break from it all.  It made me happy with myself, and once I stopped it all…I went back to feeling crappy about me and the way I look and just generally unhappy with me.  Who knew it made that much difference in my emotions??  WOW!  Not even the results, just doing the exercise and eating right itself made me feel good.  Never thought I’d ever reach THAT point!  Great motivator to keep going though!

I kinda gave myself a get out of jail free card with my eating over the course of my vacation, which amounted to five days of horrible eating.  And oddly enough, the get out of jail free card didn’t work!!  Oh no, I landed right in that cell where they handed me back a whole slew of the pounds I’d lost.  So I’ve ripped up my fake card, and I’ve broken out of the cell, and I’m back in the game now.  Hopefully heading towards Boardwalk…but I’d settle for Marvin Gardens…LOL!

 In any event, I am now back to normal life.  At least, life as normal as it gets around me!! LOL!  Which isn’t to say much, but hey, it’s all good, right? 

I have a computer that works, and a schedule that, hopefully, works and should allow me to check in with the blogs and and buddies more regularly, while also keeping up with my exercise and while keeping up with my, apparently, never ending spring cleaning and the quest for organization.  I swear,  it never ends.  I finish one room, do another, and the first has gone to pot!! lol!  Keeps me on my toes though.   And cleaning burns calories and keeps me from eating….so, again I say…

It’s all good, right?

PS It feels great to get back to journalling my journey and reminding myself what I’m doing here…I’ve really missed this!!
