It's a new day!
I saddled back up this morning and back on the horse, I am! I had no doubt that I would do that. In this latest attempt to loose weight, I have taken on such a different attitude about everything. All the other times I never picked myself back up, instead I used the “oh poor me, I blew it excuse”, so I would not have to continue. Ok, to be fair I think, at that time I just felt defeat, being a failure. My perfectionisms did not allow for such a behavior. I had rather shifted gears and focused on something that was more easily to obtain, as keeping a perfect house was one thing, some called me the next “Martha Stewart”J.
Well, when you look at my house now, it is not so perfect anymore. Granted going through a home remodel and having three big dogs makes it more difficult to be perfect.

So, over the last 1 ½ years I learned a big lesson; to let go and relax and be more forgiving with myself. Sometimes I think I am too much of that now. It seems I do not get anything done anymore. Do not get me wrong, it is not that bad, I can still get this house in “visitor shape” within 15 minutes if I have to. The trick is to have a place for everything; it is easy to put things back when ya know where they are going. As for the dust, I have the two perfect excuses, everybody has dust problems up here, and when you going through construction people are more willing to overlook that. I take full advantage of it, no more dusting every day; I dust every week and on a good month I only get it done twiceJJ.

Right now, I would rather focus on my weight loss than keeping the perfect house. I have done this long enough; it is time to get the old me back. Just the body, not the lack of experiences I had then.
I like who I am now, but having the “perfect body” would be a nice little bonus to complete this package.J
