I've started so many posts in my head, but then I get side-tracked...next thing you know, it's been a month or more since publishing anything. Sheesh.
Might as well come right out and say it...I fell off the wagon big-time with eating, exercise, and well, with life in general. (In fact, the wagon may have run over me.) Part of me feels ashamed of this, and the more compassionate part of me shrugs my shoulders and says, "No one's perfect. Sh*t happens. I'm doing the best I can." There have been a number of factors contributing to my downward (upward?) spiral - now that I have a handle on them, I'm ready to start - again.
Life goes on. I'm back to eating properly, exercising, and taking better care of myself. This is the most alive/awake/present I've felt in months and months - probably since last April or so.
There will be more to come about all of that.
Thanks for all the wonderful comments and messages inquiring where I am and if I'm okay! It's been a bumpy road for a while, but whaddya know - I'm still here, clawing my way along.
Sometimes I might be crawling, sometimes clawing, sometimes walking, occasionally sprinting, and often taking unexpected detours....but I will never ever quit moving forward.

Been there, done that. It happens. Glad things are moving forward for you again.
I missed you!
All we can do is our best! That "best" changes all the time. Be kind to yourself and know that you are not alone in this battle.
Glad to see you back posting. Good for you getting back into the groove. You can do this! :)
I'm so glad to see you back!!
Glad you're back! Come backs are the best, it's another chance to re-invent yourself and learn from the past.
I'm new here. I am in the same boat (or wagon) re sticking to my plan and goals over the past several months, but I'm back and I think you are too. Looking to get to know you better.
You and I. Two yo yo dieters striving to end the cycle. I am only just back at it myself after a long time away and I too am not ready to talk about the lbs just yet.
I have always felt an affinity with you. Let's do this thing together. So glad to see you back. :)
Well hello! I was just thinking about you yesterday. Glad to see you back. x
so glad your back and things are looking up.
sh!t does happen... =)
I agree. Pounds are never permanent, but positive attitude is. Great to have your attitude back and I know you are going to rock it out! Everyone falls off the wagon, and even "normal" people have off days.
Great to see you back! Remember - you cannot fail until you give up! I don't see any giving up ergo no failing either.
Go Debs.

So glad you're back, and yes, we're in this with you. Your attitude sounds good and healthy. Just what you need to dust yourself off and begin again. Many of us are in the same spot.
Totally get it when you said you mean to post but don't get around to it and *boom* time flies. I'm trying to get back into the blogging groove myself but it doesn't mean I'm not living a healthy life :)
Welcome back!
Good luck to You!!!

I'm glad you're back! I'm looking forward to future updates!
I'm glad to see you back!I'm the same way; I hide when things aren't good. I've been hearing a lot about the fact that this is a journey that never stops, even when you get to your goal. So think of this as a bump in the road that leads to a new awakening. Keep going forward and you'll get there!
Good luck ,Great post,y love you!Thanks for the info it had cleared out too many things in my mind. Your recommendations are really good.
