A New Blog Title! I'm Making Changes!

Today is a new day! This is the only day that counts!

First off, you may have noticed my blog name has changed.  I am already getting bored with just writing about weight loss.  So I want everyone who comes here to realize this is not just a weight loss blog.  I am going to write about whatever I feel like writing about.  I have been doing that already, but I just felt I should change the title.  I have only been blogging for about six weeks, so I haven't really figured out where I am in blogging.  I have a touch of ADD so I have problems staying with one subject.  So I felt like I need to open up my blog to be more about life.  My weight loss is really attached to everything else in my life.  It is not a separate issue!  Everything that goes on in my life is attached to how I deal with food.  That may not be the healthy way to look at it, but it is the truth.

If I go on vacation, that affects my eating.  If I am sick, that affects my exercise.  If I am just depressed or angry that affects how I handle food and exercise.  I am working on changing the triggers, but for now they exist.  I am human, I don't know that I can change all the triggers.

Recently, I have been dealing with some friends who are having major issues with their husbands.  I have  been getting multiple phone calls daily, hearing what is going on in their lives.  I can't be very specific in case they read my blog.  I am not giving up any of their confidences.  One friend had me really scared last week, life was getting too hard for her.  This affects me, I know it shouldn't but it does.  I have had less time on my blog, less time to do things for myself.  My two friends need a support system right now, and I need to be available to them.  When I lost my husband to an accident several years ago, I don't know if I would have survived if I hadn't had friends who were here for me.

And the part about Gaining my INSANITY seems to be true.  My husband tells me all the time that he thinks I am losing my mind.  I guess I am going to take that one on and be proud of it!  There are times when I certainly believe it.  I think it is more that I am at the point in life that I am going to chose to do what I want.  If other people think that is insane, that's their issue, not mine.  I have spent too many years trying to please other people.  That is gone now!  I am going to do what pleases me.

So that being said, if my blog sounds like something you want to read, please stay around.  If you just wanted to read about weight loss only, I'm sure there are blogs out there that will meet your needs.  I am going to keep doing my weigh-ins on Monday.  I will be talking about exercise that I love.  If I read interesting weight loss articles I will write about those.  I will share recipes that promote healthy eating. So weight loss will still be a primary part of my blog, just not the whole thing.

I don't know whether if will be fortunate or unfortunate for you, but you will get to know the real me!
Maybe tomorrow I will write about trying on all my summer clothes to see if I have anything that will fit me to take on spring break.  That should be a really fun day.  I can't wait!
