Why I don't blog as much anymore....
The last time I wrote I felt so excited to get through the two weeks that just passed me. I thought Spring would be here to enjoy even just a little and I hoped to be at 173lbs and as a reward could start planning a trip to MA to the SK Family BBQ. Unfortunately neither of those things happened. Instead my marathon work weeks got shortened because I wasn't needed for both weekend days like I thought and it ended up not being to bad at all. In the middle of last week though I came down with a nasty head cold and it laid me up and took me out of commission for a couple of days and completely ruined this past weekend as I just spent both days mainly on the couch with the dog. This past weekend also happened to be gorgeous out and the most Springlike and I couldn't enjoy it because my nose was to busy keeping me gross to do anything but rest.
Today was the first day I felt better and like myself again and it snowed. Womp Womp...
I also did not make my goal of 173. I did get there but not 3 times in a row, just once so it doesn't meet my reward criteria. So where does that leave me?
I really needed to write tonight because that question has been weighing on me... no pun intended but enjoy it anyway.... Today I feel like all I did was go to work, go grocery shopping, cook dinner, do the dishes and go to bed. Granted I just finished dinner and I'm writing this entry before I go to bed but by the time this day is done I feel like that will be fairly accurate. The thing is, I'm going to be making plenty of time to walk when the snow banks recede enough for that to happen and any day a walk is involved it feels like an automatic win. If this winter aka snowmaggedon has taught me anything it is that my walks are a fundamental part of keeping me happy. I thrive on having that time to clear my head and accomplish something good for myself.
I also think that this blog is something that is equally good for me to do. I've made my best progress when this blog kept me accountable. I need to add a new excuse to the list of ones that I need to get out of my system when it comes to why I haven't been writing as frequently. I should have made the connection sooner but having a dog has changed my ENTIRE life. It's kind of insane. I love my life so much more now because he adds so much to it but sitting and writing a blog now requires carving out the time in my day when the dog is otherwise occupied. When he doesn't get a big long walk he's not just moody and blabby on a blog, he's alllll up in my grill demanding some play time and attention. As I write this in fact, he continues an assault of interruptions beginning with a dig through the couch cushions, trying to steal a tissue from the garbage can, back to the dig through the cushions and then this....
What is a girl to do? I think hanging with the dog watching the Roast of Justin Bieber is a good start...
