Long time no post...

Well, here it is the close of 2011 and 2012 is in sight. I haven't posted anything since September and I apologize for that.  I am back to redeem myself and recommit myself.  Here are some things that have led to my lack of posting/motivation/general slacking.
  • My job
    • It's been so hard to make time for myself after working, then going home and taking care of the things to be done around the house and then taking the kids everywhere they need to go
  • Halloween
    • Stupid candy!
  • Kids activities
    • It seems like these days I am taking the kids here or there and focusing on them and have lost the focus on myself
  • Thanksgiving
    • Enough said!
  • Grandpa passed away
    • My grandfather passed away earlier this month
  • Trip to Florida
    • Vacations stink when you're trying to watch what you eat especially when you have a mother-in-law that will cook anything the kids want anytime
  • Christmas
    • Again, enough said!!
Now, as I said, it's the end of 2011 and I have made some strides to get myself back on the wagon.
  1. I've signed up for a gym membership at Anytime Fitness
  2. I signed up with a trainer and will be working with him twice a week, a post to follow about this
  3. I went back to Weight Watchers yesterday to face the scale, a post on that will be coming up
  4. I have recommitted to the GHG (good health guidelines)
  5. I have recommitted to cut off the Diet Coke and drink more water, while I will still have my coffee I am removing the Diet Coke to cut down on the excess bloating that comes along with drinking soda
  6. I am recommitting to posting more regularly on this blog whether I'm too busy or not.  I have to use this as an outlet for what I'm going through as well as a tool to keep myself honest with me and all who read it.
So, for now that is what I'm doing to make myself a priority and to get back on track.  I hope I haven't lost too many followers and hope you all forgive me for falling off the wagon.  I'm back, I may be bruised and battered, but I'm here and I'm refocused.  Here's to a new me in 2012!!
