Here we go again. Trying to make this blogging thing work. I enjoy it so much, but get so caught up in other stuff going on it ends being days or weeks and yes, sometimes even months before I make a post. So here I go again. I want to make this work so I’m starting again. It’s like a diet. You can’t just stop because you slip once in a while. Just gotta suck it up and start again where you left off.
Speaking of diets, man I hate that word, I wanted to quickly mention that I’ve been also renewing my desire to lose some weight. I’ve always struggled with my weight, but had finally gotten to a point many years ago where I had worked really hard to get it down to something that I was happy with and most of all felt good at. After a pregnancy and car accident, it’s piled back on…and brought friends. I’m done feeling like crap all the time though and ready to do something about it. I have back problems and knee problems, but I’ve done some research and feel like I’ve finally found some things I can do that won’t kill me or have me laid up on the couch for weeks. I want to be able to do more with Andrew without feeling like crap all the time, not to mention be around for him for many more years.
I don’t have a lot of time right now because I’m working on a couple of deadlines, but I’ve got several things in store for the coming weeks. Including a new theme and design to be implemented on this site very soon. I’m almost done with it and ready to show it off, but I had to put it to the side so I could get deadlines finished.
Talk to you soon…
It’s so easy to fall of the blogging wagon isn’t it?! And the same for the healthy living/weight loss thing. I’ve been working on both this year and have had ups and downs – but I figure if I keep going back to it eventually it will be more routine and I’ll stick with it! Looking forward to seeing your new design!

Thanks for your comment Laurie. It’s good to know I’m not alone in my struggle. LOL Here’s to making both issues for both of us in the coming months!
Welcome back Shannon! Oh how I’ve missed you!!!!! It’s not easy being so publicly open about my weight but honestly doing weekly weigh in videos was the BEST decision I could have ever made! There’s just something about knowing that I have to get on that scale on video every week that really helps keep me accountable!
Good luck on this journey Shannon! I’m here to cheer you on and looking forward to following along on your journey!

Thanks Tishia! I don’t see me doing videos anytime soon. Baby steps. Baby steps. LOL
I do get my new exercise machine delivered in the next day or so though. I’m so excited! I’ll be able to exercise without killing myself…I hope.
Shannon,
You’re doing great so far, I think just talking about it, and acknowledging the need is at least one step toward getting whatever it is that you want from life.
I have fallen off the blog wagon, and the weight wagon many times. The important thing is that we just jump back on “where we left off” like you said :).
Just a tip that you probably know already: Sometimes if I am in the writing mood, I write a bunch of posts (it won’t work for the weigh in of course) then schedule them, or leave them as drafts, this makes it easier for me anyway.
Congratulations for joining the contest. You’re a good writer so I am looking forward to your next post.
Thank Stephanie! The support and encouragement are much appreciated!
