"Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there." Will Rogers.
Sometimes, no most of the time I am my own worst enemy. I decide I can't do it. I decide what others think about me when I really don't know. I convince myself that I'm not smart enough. I am my own worst enemy more often then not. I have a weak moment and use that as an excuse to stop doing what I know I need to do instead of looking at it as a minor set back that I'm not going to let send me back in the wrong direction.
So, back on track - the right track. I got on the elliptical last night and did 3 loads of laundry (does that count as a workout?). I did make these amazing red velvet choc. covered cake balls and only ate one. I will get the remaineder out of my house by tonight. Baking is my therapy. It keeps me sane - I'm not sure why but it does. It's a shame running or working out isn't my therapy for sanity -that would have made my life much easier - with alot less time wishing I could get motivated to work out.
So, I am what I am - good, bad or otherwise and I have made up my mind to make the best of that. My goal is to someday have a wine & chocolate bar for people to come and hang out with me and enjoy a nice glass of wine and a (little) piece of some wonderful chocolate concoction. In the meantime I want to enjoy this moment, this day and make the most of all the blessings in my life and then doing what I need to do to try to be around a long time to enjoy them all.
Thanks for listening!
I can't wait for you to open the wine and chocolate bar!!! When do you want to do that by? And I'm sure whoever is the recipient of your baked goods is VERY happy it's your therapy. Mine too. I'd also probably be at my target weight by now if it weren't, but I'd have missed out on a lot of baking that I really enjoyed and a lot of making the kitchen messy that drove Dave really nuts. :) That's my job. Hehe...Love you, Mom, and way to get back on track - every day is a chance to improve what you've done before, and you're taking full advantage of it!
