Changing my Mindset to: My Forever Journey

I have lost count of the number of times I have "started over" again.  Feeling embarrassed, defeated and like a never ending struggle, I stopped journaling about my journey.  Who wants to hear the story of the girl who keeps starting over?  In fact, I just did it again last May, started over and rededicated myself to working out and eating healthy.

The last couple of weeks I have considered the "starting over" mindset and realized, for me, it's more damaging than motivational.  So, you'll not hear me say starting over again.  I am on this forever journey, whether it's jumping on the bandwagon because I fell off or whether it's balancing exercise with our family's busy schedule or refocusing my eating, it's my journey.  Someday, my journey will be maintaining and inasmuch as I look forward to that day, I also know that will be a different challenge altogether.

What encouraged me to write again?  Well, two things really.  I missed it.  I loved sharing my updates, my journey, my life with you all - it helped to keep me honest and on track plus it inspired others (thank you for the messages sharing such); additionally, a good friend, Liz writes about her journey and that inspired me to continue to share my story.

So here's my new blog page and my Forever Journey.
