Just Stopping By. . .

Dear Blogger,

I have been absent, I know.  I have been maintaining though.  Exercise is almost non-existent, food has been more naughty than usual but still usually controlled.  I must figure out the next path to take on this journey.  Christmas is coming so I may be detoured for a little longer, but I'll get back eventually.

I am lucky.  I have friends that inspire me.  I've seen some of their journeys (via social media) and they don't know it, but it reminds me of where I'm going and that I am not alone.  My lovely coworker (the one who gave me the flowers) is the most inspiring. Her achievements and her continued commitment to her own weight loss remind me to remain committed to keeping my own weight off.  There are also a few people that I grew up with, some more open with their achievements than others, but still it reminds me that I can do it too (maybe not quite to the same level as some, but that's my choice).

My New Years' resolution will be to get my ass back in gear.  I know it's a few weeks away, but I know that's what I want so I can say it now.  For now, I will wish you all a Merry Christmas (no political correctness here)!
