Me Time

Well...

Where do I begin?

I have fallen of course hard core.  It is hard to believe that it has been a year already since 100 Miles of Nowhere and that I am back where I started.  I have put all the weight back on (and if I were brave enough to step on a scale today would realize I heavier than I ever was).  I took the bike out last week for my 1.2 mile commute and had a hard time breathing!!  I have ridden a total of maybe 10 miles in the last 6 months.  I miss the me in this picture.

I am not sure I want to go into all the issues of how this happened but instead want to focus on how I am going to get back on track.  So much has changed since I last wrote (so much has changed in the last month!) and I think it is time I re-focus and work towards becoming the 'me' that is best for my family.

I am going to work at it a bit slower and more sustainable (but at the same time I have a wedding to attend in August and need to not put it off).  I am not going to be able to put in 100+ miles a week like I was in preparation for 100 Miles of Nowhere but there is no reason I cannot get in a decent number of miles.

I stopped doing protein powder for breakfast because I was leaving so early for work and did not want to wake the kids running he blender but can now prepare the shakes at work (just need a new blender).

I need to get back into the doctor's office and devise a new plan to get on track with medications, lifestyle, and eating habits that are more conducive to a long life.

I am not making any promises - to loose weight, give away TVs, to blog regularly, etc.  This time it is take-what-you-get-blogging.  I will do my best to not let it consume me as it has done in the past but I will continue to blog because I found tremendous motivation in blogging.  I hope that you continue reading and providing me that support.
