I’m going to try and smash in the last few weeks in one post, so the next post is the one I really want to do, which is the start of another mission.
Okay. Mission 1 ended pretty weird. I had unexpected guests over the house during that time which ate up a lot of the time I was able to be on the computer. They brought babies… nuff said.
Next, we were (still are) having some issues with the lawyer. He wants another retainer for a trial we have coming in March for our fraudulent second lien foreclosure. The foreclosure isn’t so much the fraud as much as the actual mortgage. There’s more forged documents and scandal than Watergate perhaps.
Since its already holiday time, we don’t have the funds to fork over. Thus, I decided to go to my church and seek their help. I learned just how pridefully sick I am when I had to do that too, took forever for me to ask. Forever! So sad. But thats another post entirely.
Lets see, what else? Umm, camera was on the fritz. Definitely need another one for Christmas.
But the big whopper is during the whole time I was not working out! Well, majority of the month of November. Since thats the lifeblood of this blog, it suffered in result, and indeirectly my supportive readers as well.
So I’ve rescheduled things around and am changing my approach to the blog:
1. Instead of blogging at night for instance, Im going to blog during the day, between business hours most likely. And since I only blog when I workout, this means I will no longer be working out before bedtime, which should also give me better results.
2. Changing the blog theme around soon as well, so that I don’t have to shrink down the pics everytime I upload them. Each time I upload the pics, I have to begin an extra process that takes away at least 8-10 extra minutes of blog time.
3. Telling the masses. Most of my friends have no idea I have a weightloss/workout blog. I’m sure if they did they would constantly ask me about it, to which I would either kick it into high gear or lower my head in shame. And since I’ve already alluded to my prideful nature, I think it might be a good motivation tool. I think along the way I figured that if I openly told people I was trying to lose weight, that in some crazy way I was admitting to not liking myself, which is far from the truth. However, from what I see around the shreddersphere, the issue isn’t so black and white. You can in fact love who you are and at the same time be changing who you are. I type this so easily, but getting it from keyboard to head is a little more difficult.
Hmm, what else?
Oh yes, I’ve decided that on May 20, 2009, I am going to join the Capoeira group here in Orlando. I may post one day entirely devoted to Capoeira and why I love it so much, but for now know that it is one of the reasons why I decided to start my physique transformation in the first place. May 20 marks my 1 year anniversary, and in good shape or not, I’m determined to join. I also am going to make smaller missions that will coincide with that date, and maybe some interactive stuff with the Shredders…
So Mission 2 is starting today, ironically on the 9th again! Its partially because an old friend from high school days came over yesterday and mentioned that I’d slimmed down. And we went to the retail store and I fit into a 1x top instead of my usual 2x.
I remember thinking, “You say something NOW when I’m totally messing up on my blog and Missions!” (Why do people notice things when you’re not even trying?? Sigh.
Okay, so I think you all are caught up. Blogging later on tonight for the kickstart of M2, but that should be the first and last night post.
Thanks for continuing to be supportive.
SDG,
Czarina
