Another New Beginning
Another beginning. Another "new". Another start. *shrug* They are too few!
Yeah. I know that was cheesy. But anyway! YES! Another stab at this. Again. . .
So, at present, I am battling the adipose tissue on my body. Wow. I did NOT know how to spell that word. I asked Siri. A-D-I-P-O-S-E. Huh. Learn a new thing every day. . . I haven't even started and already, I digress. So here's it: I have sustained on my body, about an additional 20 pounds that I would rather not have. Honest. But gee, I can't think of why that might be?! Hmm. Perhaps the fact of carrying 7 babies? And not least of all the most recent being a set of twins. Oh! And let's not even mention my age. Ugh. Imagine that: Extra weight one would rather not have. Shocker! Ok. Enough with the sarcasm...
I made a connection today. So, I was listening to Brooke Castillo's podcast, The Life Coach School, and she talks a bit here and there about weight loss. And she says one of the most important factors in losing weight is becoming hyper-aware of what is going on in your brain! I have heard her say this several times. And somehow, just today, it hit me. Hmm... maybe she's on to something.
As I ponder over my past adult life, the thinnest I ever was, I was back at my high school weight, and in like a size 6. Now, I don't have to tell you how many different factors came into play for that. But just for kicks and giggles, let's list a few of them here:
1. I was battling depression.
2. I was 1 year, post C-Section baby, and was forbidden to get pregnant again for three years after baby. (That, by the way, was rubbish. IMO.)
3. I would go walking regularly. (I didn't want my hubby to tease me about being winded when we were on the golf course.)
4. I was writing.
Yes. I wrote. And I wrote quite a bit. I kept a blog. I don't recall how often I would write a post, but I did. And, eventually, I printed that entire blog into a book. It is one stinking awesome book, if I do say so myself.
So... As I come back to writing -- both tonight, and in my life -- I do so with hopes that:
1. I will gain a greater understanding about myself, my hopes, my dreams, my struggles, my children, my family, and my life.
and 2. Be a happier, healthier me.
Here's to another new beginning!
