I made my manifesto, then promptly ignored myself by not writing for “Face the Music Monday”. I was racing about all evening: snow shovelling, walking the pent-up dog, making dinner, getting last, last-minute groceries in anticipation of being holed up for a few days (bliss), decorated for the Hubster’s birthday today, prepared for today etc. It was a busy night, and I did think about the post I knew I wouldn’t get to, really.
My weight: I don’t have much to say about this right now. Over the past 18 months, I’ve lost weight, and I’ve gained a little, and right now I am just trying to do everything in moderation and enjoy myself. I have made peace with the bumps, lumps and roundness that have returned, knowing full well that I will tackle it when I am ready.
I bought Oprah’s magazine last week; I don’t usually buy it (this is a post for another day) but I was prompted by her admission to regaining 40lbs and her thoughts on it. I can relate in many ways: I too, am sick and bloody tired of talking about my weight. Enough already! I feel like this is the year, but again, that is for next Monday’s post!
Suffice it to say, I am comfortable in my own skin for now, and it has taken me years to get to this point. I’m not settling, I just know where I’m at right now, and what I have the energy to deal with. I feel healthy and strong even though I can no longer run up my street with ease (although I assert that the cold weather is making me wheeze!) I have big plans for 2009, exciting ones, and I will share them soon.
