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.

*MUAH*
