And this is despite the fact that hits on my blog have increased. Welcome back! And don't forget to leave comments on other blogs.

It's true... there are days when the blog thing kind of feels a bit overwhelming to me. It's not that I don't have ideas to write about, it's that I get tired and the writing doesn't happen while they are "fresh". Which then makes me feel like I've fallen behind and am failing. I'm learning to just do what I can and let the rest go. There has to be balance between the blog and actually living my life! If I'm not an especially entertaining blogger, so be it. But I don't regret starting my blog at all... it's really helping keep me accountable, even when I can't post every day. As for what keeps me going... it's the little things. When the scale fails to enchant me with a new loss, I remember that I feel healthier and better. I remember that I can almost use the 8th hole on my heart rate monitor watch when I started with the 6th hole. It's the realization that I'm not floating quite as easily in the pool as I used to. Or noticing that now, I can have a good sweaty session on my Nordic Track without my heart rate going sky high half the time. Gratitude plays a key role. Whenever I am frustrated with my body... I try to think of things I am grateful for. There are so many. Doing that gives me the strength to trek onwards. Glad to see you back!
