Sitting on the Fence (and I’m not talking politics)

My pity party blog from yesterday stirred up lots of nice comments! Thanks to all my wonderful friends from blogland and beyond. I feel (slightly) better. Lots of nice words of encouragement were sent and offers to help me in the ass reduction party I would like to get started over here.

Kristin offered to run with me. She runs in actual races and looks fabulous. I looked at some pictures of her on Facebook yesterday and thought about her journey. She has worked hard and found a new lifestyle to get and keep her reduced size ass and other parts. She rocks!

Marge offered to be my cohort in weight loss. She is already in the midst of trying to shed the pounds and I am very proud of her. She is counting calories eaten and calculating calories burned. She has lost 7 pounds since August! Go Marge!

Many others commented about your owns challenges, successes and hurdles in the being healthy game. And I love and thank you all for checking in on me and leaving me with something to perhaps lift my spirits or my backside out of my chair.

The sucky thing is, almost one year ago right now I began the journey to start the good green business that encourages other people to be healthy. I know what it takes. I do a lot of those things very inconsistently. I eat right and then I eat no-so-right. I work out and then I don’t. I don’t have a knowing problem. I have a doing problem. And it all starts in my head. I really need to talk to someone about some meds. Not weight loss meds, but thinking straight meds to help with weight loss and beyond.

Once I get my head on straight maybe I can hop off the fence where I sit somewhere in between knowing what I need to do and actually doing it. Until then, I will do my best to play along with Marge, and maybe run with Kristen and cheer the rest of you on as well.

So thank you dear friends. It really means a lot.
