Yep, I've been MIA...here on my blog and yes, I tripped up again. I can list a litany of excuses...but there's no point in that. Trip, fall down, get up again...
I'm here today - that's all that matters. It's become clear that my priorities are still mixed up, so I need to straighten myself out.
The first on the list: Although I like baking, I need to stop for a while. Too much of it is finding its way into my own mouth instead of going out the door. Last year, it wasn't a problem for me to bypass it all - now it's more difficult. Why put so much temptation in my own path? It's not working...so I need to stop.
A renewed source of motivation? The "Biggest Loser". I have about three weeks' worth of episodes saved up to watch...I know they do crazy amounts of exercise and they have tons of support - medical, nutritional, physical, and psychological. Yet, they're facing what seems to be insurmountable challenges. They persevere. They get out there and do it. Just seeing them doing it makes me want to do it, too.
This weekend I'm flying back to Canada with the kids for a few days...and then to Florida for a few more. I can't wait to get out of Russia! I'm hoping this trip will jolt me back into my own skin.
Time to surround myself with people and things that are healthy for me.
Although my postings on my blog are much more sporadic these days, in my absence I've been trying to claw my way back to myself.
I will get there.

I can't bake without eating too much of whatever I bake. I had a bag of cranberries in the freezer and kept thinking about cranberry nut muffins until I decided to "just make six" of them. I ate three without stopping and left three for my daughter. Nope, she was too slow in getting around to eating her three so I ate them the next day. Sigh. :(
Enjoy your trip out of Russia.
Love BL motivation
