On the road again...

Michelle here. It's been awhile. I'm actually humming Willie Nelson as I type this. I get all the email posts that are related to this blog so it tells me that my dear friend and fellow working mom Candice is back in the saddle again! So, perhaps, I too should take a cue from her and get started on a path (back) to wellness. I started this pale attempt on Monday. Today is Thursday. This morning I ripped open my third bag of raw spinach, packed my third salad for the week and already I'm exhausted. I know the trick is to not get bored of food and dieting but easier said than done I say. So, I'm sitting here at lunch wondering how I'm going to get through another cup of the green stuff. Don't get me wrong - it's not healthy. I added bacon (ok...turkey bacon!), an egg (it's incredible and edible!) and it's covered in Fresh & Easy Balsamic dressing which adds a nice 16g of fat. Oh, and I just saw the 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar that I added for color (yeah...color, that's it!). So again...now you know why I said the attempt was pale. But, it's a start. And this blog post after a looooong absence is just that...a start. Granted, we all know that history repeats itself so hopefully I'll keep posting but we also know that we learn from our past and can do better the next time 'round. This time, I'm hoping I learn not to give up so easily (it's only day 4!!!) and that there is another lunch option besides spinach! I also know one person who will be reading this blog will be my friend Candice and she could use some company. Perhaps she's been lonely up here blogging and venting by herself. Now, us moms can find support (again) in each other.

I've yet to be adventurous and step on a scale so no countdown for me just yet . But I can tell you my clothes still feel the same so it's going to be a long and winding road ahead of me. I guess that means I should keep humming along to good ol' Willie....so here it goes, on the road again....just can't wait to get back on the road again....
