Being Wonder Woman

So let's get the negative out of the way....I've gained a few pounds..pretty pissed at myself.  Ok...turn on the positive...that's part of this journey, being normal, it's normal to go up and down, it's normal to get stuck. So pep talk to myself time:  Self, get over it, you know what to do, cut sugars, cut carbs, up the workout. Get obsessed again with the scale. Get back to drinking that water...yes, i'm a water slacker.

See I've said it before when I get obsessed with the scale (stepping on it every day even twice a day)  I do better.  This once a week thing isn't working for me.  So obsession it is.

I feel so much pressure these days. On top of working the old 9-5 job, trying to keep up with the house cleaning, paying the bills, writing a book, keeping up with a blog, and a new facebook page, we've got the dance schedule 6 days a week, the 3 day a week wrestling schedule is over but not we have 3 days a week baseball.  The poster on my office door is Wonder Woman and somewhere along the way I convincend myself that I am.   I don't want to admit that I'm not..but.I still have a NYC trip to finish planning for next weekend as well as a week vacation in Myrtle Beach, a trip to Florida and dance recital weekend.  My brother is coming in June for a week and will be staying at my house, prom season is coming and yes, I have a Freshman Daughter going to a Senior Prom.  Whew!

So as much as I'd like to say I'm not Wonder Woman I think I'm going to hold on to that alter ego for awhile.

Back to the journey...I will complete this journey this year, I'm determined, I'm not going to give up. Remember the old me by now would just say screw it!  No way...I know I can do this I won't give up.  This is just part of the story, part of the bumps in the road. We all have them.  Just have to learn from it and not let it get us down.

I can't wait to start walking again. I'm seriously thinking about putting my gym membership on hold as of May 1 and get back to basics and do my walking, pick up a few weights and do my weight training at home.  I did so well last year with the walking, I could save the 45.00 a month, if it doesn't work I can just start it up again.

I'm off to work and I'm in my "journey" mindset...gonna grab a fruitcup for breakfast...when I was in trouble as a kid Mom used to say life is about starting over and tomorrow is a new day...so today I start over. 

Here we go....... (again)
