Where have I been?

I've been off the grid for a while. I have been playing with my family, working on the house and trying to get back in the game. This winter was difficult. I'm not really sure why. Usually the weather doesn't get to me, but this year it was so cold and wet that I felt like hibernating. So hibernate I did. I will tell you that was a poor decision for weightbegone. It actually meant weight go up, by 7lbs. Yup, bad idea to get wrapped up in life again and not make myself a priority. The good news is that I am back on track. I was killing myself by wanting perfection, so when I wasn't there I said "oh well, screw it!", I finally caught that attitude and stuffed it somewhere that I wont be accessing anytime soon and decided that one pound at a time is what I need to focus on. I need to be happy with what I am doing and work on that, rather than the unrealistic view of perfection. So one pound at a time means two weeks in a row, I have lost. It means that this month is going to be busy. I am going to be out in the ministry a lot, I have a house to clean, Laundry to do, a trip to prepare for and yes a 5k or 10k to prepare for in June. Yes, I am going to run the Sound to Narrows this year....I am undecided as to how far I want to do. I will have an answer by this weekend, so stay tuned.....

I have not been taking a lot of pictures lately, again I'm not really sure why. Here is one from last month. Yes I am all bundled up, however I plan to post at least one of me each month to show my exercise progression. I have decided that even if the pounds don't melt off, I will have a toner body by my trip.
