Off Kilter

Image
"As we travel along this road  called life, occasionally a gal will find herself a little lost. And when that happens, she has to let go of all the coulda,   shoulda, woulda, buck up  and just keep going."   That's where I am today. I decided to buck up and keep going. I've felt off kilter for a while now and I haven't quite figured out how to right the world. It started long before vacation, so it has nothing to do with that. Vacation was actually a great distraction ! I think my biggest problem is just the isolation that winter brings. I'm trying my darnedest to get my exercise program back on track but hibernation mode has a grip on me. The good news is I finally kicked myself in the behind, got busy and actually got some things done. As a result most of the post-vacation shambles has been cleared ! There is still much to do so but it no longer feels overwhelming. Getting things done actually makes me feel better so I'm holding on to that as motivation....

Mojo

"I will be stronger than my sadness .”   I've decided it's time to stop counting days. I started Nutrisystem on January 4, 2019 and I remain committed to the program. I reached my goal weight on July 23, 2021. After taking a break from exercise to focus on work I gained a bit of weight back. On December 28, 2021 I started working on getting back to my goal weight. The next milestone in this paragraph will be the day I get back to 150 or less pounds. I've also started a new blog since I feel like the journey I started back in 2019 is over and I'm transitioning to my new life. Right now I'm trying to get my mojo back !! Sigh. With my Disney trip over it's back to my boring life in the frozen North. Today was pretty much a return to my normal schedule. Breakfast was my favorite waffles with sugar free syrup and a yogurt. Morning snack .. well, missed that. Lunch was a pepperoni pizza melt and a chef salad. Afternoon snack .. well, I missed that too ! Dinner wa...

The Best

  “It’s going to take some time but I will become  the best version of me.” I've decided it's time to stop counting days.

I've also started a new blog since I feel like the journey I started back in 2019 is over and I'm transitioning to my new life. For the next little bit my blog will focus on happy things ... namely my vacation to Disneyworld !! I'm only going to write about one day at a time, so you'll have to keep reading ! I should mention that I haven't been to Disney since 1996 so it was pretty much a brand new place for me. When I got up last Saturday I had every expectation that I would be...

Back to Reality

  This is the room I stayed in at Disney's Port Orleans Riverside resort. It's called a Royal Guest Room because of the Princess theme. Due to COVID, beds no longer have comforters or the pillow roll, housekeeping only comes in every other day and they do not make your bed for you. It's a nice quiet place to stay but pretty expensive and really more luxury than I needed. “Being positive won't  guarantee  you'll succeed,   but being negative  will  guarantee you won't .
