Miss Me? Ain't no harm in starting over.

It's been quite awhile since I posted in this blog. As you might imagine, my weight loss (not release since it wasn't permanent) slowed, stopped, and then has actually reversed. Yikes! I could spend a lot of time lamenting the problems and complaining to you about the many issues that kept me from my goal. But what would that serve? Nothing. A few days ago, a romantic interest complained that I had been trying to lose weight for as long as he's known me. And as soon as he said it, I became disappointed in myself. But after thinking about it, I realize that I have nothing to be ashamed of. Yes, I have had setbacks, but I have not allowed them to stop me from trying as many times as it takes for me to be successful. My life is not about the mistakes or the failures, but about the many lessons I learn as a result of them. I choose to meditate on my own growth. I now what it feels like to to become discouraged, but I have NEVER let that keep me from trying. There is no shame in that...only growth.

Today, I had a nice home cooked meal.....Well, maybe not so nice. Today was my first day making scallops. I'm not sure I cooked them correctly. The looked yummy and tasted kinda okay but the texture left much to be desired. I'll give them one more try before I give up for good. But for now, it's back to the drawing board. I'll spend tonight doing some food planning for the week, refrigerator organization, and planning for a successful day tomorrow. I wish you love and light and the same for me, tdp
