I don’t feel like writing the three posts I should write for today, so instead I’m going to try and be brief.
- I had a minor meltdown this weekend about pants not fitting. By minor I mean sobbing on Frank’s shoulder and angry at myself for eating like a jerk and derailing myself so much. Yesterday was a pretty good start to getting back on the wagon and while there’s no way I’ll hit my goal of 13ish lbs by the start of winter without a case of E. Coli or Dysentery, I will give it my best shot. It’s more like 18ish now. Part of it is that I stopped running and swimming, part of it is that I’ve been eating like a jerk. The pool is open again today and I’m working on both meal plans and move more plans.
- October being for OM and OMG Snail Mail was a partial fail and partial success. I have come to the conclusion that I just don’t like Yoga and as such have difficulty motivating myself to do it or even looking forward to it. I like the stretching aspect, but the mental part does nothing for me. On the OMG Snail Mail, I did an awesome job if I do say so myself. I don’t know how many pieces of mail I sent, but it was many. I have more to send too.
- My Reader Assigned Challenge for November is one that I’m challenging myself to at the joking remark of a friend. Her remark? “How are you going to get all of that done AND add more?” Yes, she was serious. So! Without adding more to my To-Do list, in November I’m going to focus on finishing all the projects I started and only starting new projects that absolutely have to be done before the end of November. Frank and I may also go hiking later this month once the frost comes. Before then will likely be an allergy nightmare for me.
That’s it for now. I’ll be back later with a Thankful post.
Oh, love. Sorry you had the meltdown. But you look beautiful. And besides that, if you re-focus on your goals, you can definitely accomplish everything you want to. I’ll be facing similar challenges after I give birth to this critter, and would be happy to get together to motivate one another in our sweatpants.
And you won’t catch me doing yoga, either. I will forever remain a yoga wannabe with a body and mind that prefer to remain a little bit more cluttered. 
Love you.
I’d say you totally succeeded at Snail Mail! I got my package today…and in October I received that little note. YAY FOR SNAIL MAIL!
I can’t get behind the Yoga thing, either. Maybe Pilates? Or is that just Yoga in the witness protection program?
Emmy’s Mama is right – you look beautiful, and if your pants weren’t fitting right, I say it’s their issue. Stupid pants. They were probably made by a boy.
