Fresh Start or Starting Over, Again?

Fresh Start or Starting over, again?

Last year I decided would be my last year being overweight and doing nothing about it.  I joined a gym, signed up for online support groups, downloaded  fitness and nutrition apps, bought books and magazines on the subject as well.   Ready, Set, Go!!!  And then that thing happened, yet again.  Nothing, nada, zilch, zero, syntax error, abort mission, etc.  You get the picture.

I wish I could say I failed, but I can't, because I didn't put any real effort into it.   Oh but boy did I plan!  I'm an excellent planner.  Executing those plans, not so much. So here I am, starting over, a year later.  Oh I've made some modest attempts since, just did not commit to anything.

But then something happened, I lost weight and an inch off my hips, without really trying.  This has happened before so at first I didn't get overly excited...  Until I tried on  pair of older jeans.  Not the long-gone-don't-even-think-about-it-why-do-I-still-have-these jeans.  A pair of jeans that were borderline too small and are currently 'manageable.'

Disclaimer: I am content with my physical appearance, however I would like to improve.  I have not determined an ideal weight or dress size.  I believe I will discover that during my journey

So having said that, I made a decision to commit to a total wellness plan.  Mind, body, and spirit. And tomorrow I will be walking like the Tin-Man, so don't laugh too much.

So this time I will not be starting over, consider it a fresh start!!!
