The Journey to Me

Is a long one.  Oprah's show on falling off the wagon really resonated with me.  It is not a quick fix.  It is not something that I can 'get'.  It is a life-long journey and arduous so I better be prepared.  It is difficult to learn to love yourself and to make time for yourself.  It is easier to push it aside.  My time is in the early morning.  I may not get much sleep but I will fit in my exercise.  Three days and counting now.  Dolly was up at 4:30 AM today.  I tried to lie in bed until 5 AM and then gave her a bottle and put her back to sleep. Hit the treadmill at 5:30.  I am going to have to start going to bed earlier! 

Today is weigh-in. I have a sneaking suspicion I'm up 3 lbs over the Christmas holidays. I guess it could be worse.  This is where I remind myself about the journey. This is my year to stay on the path to me, to love myself, to care for myself, to be kind to my body, to nurture my mind.
