Hi Everyone! I wanted to create a blogsite where I can focus mainly about working out, weight loss and anything in between. Basically, the road to wellness and serenity!
When the New Year started, I made a decision to not be a couch potato anymore. That is, I will no longer sit by and let things happen to me, my body, my kids, my life. I will no longer just sit and whine (except for a few rants here and there!) and not focus on my goals anymore.
Let’s face it; life happens to all of us. We can’t help it; it just does and just is. People will come in and out of our lives, lost loves, lost time, lost goals – this is reality folks and reality bites, hard! You will be down for a while and that’s ok. There are things that will happen to you that will knock you off your feet and there will be nothing you can do about it, at least some of the time anyway.
You’ll cry, whine and eat lots of chocolate, drink beer, vodka, or whatever it is you eat to make yourself feel better. It’s ok to do all that. Comfort yourself, let it all hang out, just let it go. But after a time you have to get back up on your feet and do something about it. Either you’re going to make changes so that whatever knocked you down, doesn’t get another chance to do it to you again, or you’re going to try a new approach or set a new goal, because there’s nothing else you can do. If it is the loss of a loved one, you try to deal and handle it. You remember that person, and love that person, and talk about it. Because talking helps, I know from experience. And there may be times you’re not ready to talk or might not want to share, and that’s ok; the thing is, you can’t let that keep you down, forever.
I’ve read a few blogs and see some people actively making changes in their lives or they’ve decided to make changes and that’s great. Now, I’m not professing to be a know it all, or a professor or doctor of anything. All I can offer is my own insights and my own experiences, by sharing what I do and what I go through or what I’ve read (being an avid reader). I might not even blog everyday. There’ll be times I do and times I don’t. I’m not making any promises. But this is a good goal-oriented project for me to get me going, to help me to focus and continue on the road to wellness, to get me out of coach potato-land! And perhaps you might want to join me on that road, share your experiences, teach me a thing or too while you’re at it?! Hey, go for it.
I may not get anyone to share or blog or even read my entries, but that’s ok. And I promise myself not to feed off others negativity or to depend on them for my own self worth. That’s just not going to happen. I’m so excited about this. It’s like a new venture. Hey, it is a new venture. Thanks JU for allowing me to put my thoughts down, and expressing myself. I’ve said it before and I’ll keep on saying it!
Serenity, over and out!
