Comeback

Success is an powerful thing...but so is perceived failure. Have you ever felt like you couldn't quite get it together? Ever sat on your bedroom floor and cried because your jeans didn't fit without the help of a crowbar and a jar of Crisco?

Being a grownup can be really overwhelming. Career, family, household, social life; sometimes it feels like you're so far off the mark you're not sure if you'll ever figure it out. But here's the truth...nothing will change until you're brave enough to try to change it yourself and no one's going to do it for you. Time to be brave and make a comeback.

Game Plan

*Meal planning. I found healthy and totally delicious recipes on this website. Time to put them to use:

*Attemp not to eat every cookie/cupcake/roll that comes into my line of sight. Seriously. I need to exhibit a little self control and have visuals with goals in mind. I'm going to make this fella to help out:



*Couch to 5K starts today!

 

And last but not least, every good comeback needs a theme song. Here's mine:

In Search of the Sparkle

It's been over a year since I stopped blogging. I'd like to tell you everything has gone fabulously, that I've dropped more pounds due to a diligent healthy eating and exercise program...but that hasn't happened. While the train hasn't derailed, it's definitely stalled on the tracks. Weight came back on...not all of it, but enough of it to give me a wake up call. I'm slipping further away from my goal and it's frustrating, but I have no one to blame but myself.  Life got busy and I chose to let it get in the way.

The last few weeks I've read so many inspiring articles about people obtaining their goals and it got me thinking..."What happened to my success?" "What are my goals"? "Where's my accountability?" and dammit "Where did my sparkle go?"

You see, it isn't all about weight loss, it's about feeling good. A sense of accomplishment and taking care of oneself. Distractions and excuses got in my way and I lost my direction but most importantly, I feel like I've lost of my sparkle.

Well, a princess can't be without her sparkle, so it's back to business I go. Time to dust of the cookbooks and the workout shoes. Time to stop feeling sorry. Time to start feeling better. That's right sparkle, I'm coming for ya.
