WTG Teach and tuffenuff and everyone on here-

Happy Birthday Alice!

I wish I had better news, I think I've been lurking (skulking) around here because although I'm not back up to full bore, I think in order to get a handle on things, I'm going to have to start up anew in my battle and QUIT QUIT instead of the namby pamby nonsense I've been BS'ing myself with for the past month or so-

I was going to start a pity party and get into all sorts of excuses and the like, but I'll spare you all-

One thing that had some meaning to me was last night (OK-disclaimer- don't judge me based on my chosen forms of entertainment!) I was watching "Biggest Loser Couples" and there were people trying to justify why they hadn't lost weight ovber whatever amount of time it was and the other contestants on the show and the trainers were like "JUST SHUT UP, STOP TRYING TO EXPLAIN THINGS AND JUST DEAL WITH THE SITUATION YOU'RE IN"

Trust me those people have bigger problems than me, and I love how that show turns people's lives around (plus it's just so interesting to watch- sue me!) But the mentality there says a lot, especially coming from the other contestants who are in the middle of the same struggle instead of on the outside looking in...

I look around at all the bowls (the pile is much smaller now!) and just think- bootstraps, Chippa, stop yip yammering and do it

I will- I came so far before, now I have to go farther

Excited for my yoga class tonight!
