I am not going to let this get to me.

Make that your "friend" or security blanket when things don't go so well. Good luck, and I hope you feel better soon!<BR/><BR/>And those people who don't want to spend time/money on visiting you guys, I say F them!

I know it sounds cheesy. But "Nothing happens until you decide."<BR/><BR/>It was an Oprah column from 2005. Don't laugh. I read this and lost over 100 lbs by dieting, watching what I ate, and exercise. I still have about 30 to go. But I can pull up my own damn socks.<BR/><BR/>So here's the bookmark from 2005. I go back and read it every so often...<BR/>http://www.oprah.com/article/omagazine/omag_200509_mission/1Levihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07369763028982948026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154077489341441939.post-22765386747001800612008-08-28T14:47:00.000-04:002008-08-28T14:47:00.000-04:00It isn't a lack of planning that is the problem.

I know what I want and now that I am concious of the fact that I have been slacking I will push harder to get going again. I just hate it when I fall off. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment and advice.<BR/>JennJennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214278595063165062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154077489341441939.post-20215947277947747742008-08-28T13:54:00.000-04:002008-08-28T13:54:00.000-04:00With so much going on it is a challenge to feel li...With so much going on it is a challenge to feel like progress is being made. I always feel better when when I go out for a slow run...it helps clear my mind, organize a bit. I prefer to write down my list of concerns and tackle them one at a time, avoid being overwhelmed...put it on your mirror so you see it each day! We all take a detour now and then...just back on the path. Your journey continues! Thanks for sharing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
