Off and Running

Its been a while.  A long while.  And things are not good.  I'm back......back, back, back all the way to square one.  So far back, that my square one may be even better than where I am at right now.  I haven't weighed myself for quite some time, but I know that I am up to my original weight when I first started blogging, and could possibly be even higher than that.

A recipe of binging, ice cream, and little exercise in combination with the crummiest weather ever has made for packing on the pounds.  I'm not happy.

Really

Not

Happy.

Each day I do try (some days I try harder than others), and each day I fail (some days I fail worse than others).

But something happened today that was very similar to what happened when I first started blogging.  Not sure what it is or how I can achieve that when I want to tap into it.  But it is a burst of motivation.  A step in the right direction.  A sense of change.  A sense that today is the first day.  Again.

Again.

This odd feeling came over me and I found myself going for a "run" today.  I don't like running, but I had this need to run. It was a starting kind of run.  The kind where you walk for a block, run for a block, run, walk, run, walk.  Only for 20 minutes.  But I did it.

And I'm hoping to do more of it.  I really want today to be day #1.  I NEED it to be.
