It's the M&M's!!!



I am not sure what a mid-life crisis looks like, but I can’t be going through that since I am too young…so I am going to call it a mini-meltdown. We will call it M&M for short because it doesn’t sound as crazy and well, I love M&M’s.  My M&M is no reason for concern; I am getting out of bed, showering, taking care of my kids, going to work, still functioning on all levels…so no need for concern. Like everything always does, things are changing in my life and I am just living in my head too much while these changes are happening. It is sort of funny writing about this mini-meltdown, because it sounds ridiculous, but I have this blog is to document what is going on in REAL life.


What is the deal with this M&M?  I have just noticed that things I was once passionate about haven’t really been getting me too excited lately. Friendships are changing. The wrinkles on my forehead are getting deeper. Things that were normal aren’t anymore. Some people aren’t in my life anymore. My iron is low.  This whole “getting healthy” thing is for sure slower than the slowest thing on earth, because I haven’t totally committed. I am not going to sit here and feed you with all the excuses that I can think of. The truth is my commitment has been bare minimum and the excuses have won. I haven’t worked out.  I think about it sometimes, but thinking about it doesn’t do anything for me.  I continue to make small changes every day and my eating habits have changed drastically, but lack of preparation for “life” is my major downfall.


Sounds so hilarious when I go and read what I have written. It makes me think I am having a Zoolander moment!!






I am working through my M&M in my own way and am sure I will be back to normal in no time…whatever that means. In the meantime, keep on swimming and carrying on with your life!!!

Yep, I am still here!!

Haven't posted in a while so thought I would let you all know that I am still here and I am still taking one baby step at a time. I don't know about you, but summer is a tempting time with all the BBQ's and summer cocktails....shoot!!! I have been going to AA meetings, I mean WW meetings, mostly for the accountability...and I am not going to lie, I laugh at all the silly things they do. For example, they hand out little clappers before each meeting and then when someone hits a goal or they do something good, everyone cheers and claps! Definitely not knocking it, because it obviously works and something about getting those little stickers really gives you that little boost....now I know how kids feel when they have a chore chart!!! Speaking of silly things, I made these:
 The picture isn't the best, but it is basically one jar of "pounds to lose" and one jar of "pounds lost". I am a visual person and instead of getting frustrated because I can't see a huge difference in the mirror, I just look at these every day....and YES, that is a salsa jar and it was delicious!!
So, do whatever you have to do even if it is silly to some!!
