Not a fan

People are fans of lots of different things...their favorite sports teams, Twitter, McDonald's, or even fly fishing to name a few. 

I am a fan of a lot of varied things myself, but one thing I am not a fan of is Blogger. No offense to the Bloggos who created Blogger, but I just find it very constricting and I, personally, don't like to be confined. It doesn't make writing any fun for me because I'm not happy with the way my post looks when I press the "publish" button. And it makes them look a lot longer than they really are.

So, probably sometime within the next few months, I will be making "the big switch." Now I'll keep you guessing as to the exact date that will be, but nonetheless--when I have the time to do it--I will be moving in cyberspace. Or, perhaps I will keep this one and just start a new blog with an "un-anonymous" (is that a word?) theme. Maybe I'll do that. It makes it easier to open up about things when only a handful of people know your true identity. So, I guess this blog is good for that and maybe it will speak to someone along the way who happens to come across it somehow.

Until then, come get your fill of varied and non-consecutive posts because my life is just like that right now. And when I move, I guess I can't tell you where I'm going (because then you would know who I am).   {smiling}

Yikes!

This girl is behind on her blogs!!! Things have been quite busy over the past two months, and lots happening with my business and with our new place of ministry. I've barely had time to breathe...but this week is full of all the things I've neglected to do (like blogging) over the past two months. Organizing, relaxing (breathing), planning, big things, little things...it's my goal this week to tackle some of the things I've been putting off. 

I'm still on track to feel more like myself again within the next few months...I've already lost 14.5 lbs and it feels really good to be back on track again. I can remember a time (pre-child) where all I did was eat right, work out, and had the occasional dessert without gaining any weight. Over the past two months I have focused on fixing the damage I've done to my body over the past several years. Not eating right and not working out certainly takes it's toll!! Add to that: a super active two year old, a business that keeps me as busy as I want to be, a new ministry where people are still having a hard time accepting "the new guys" (that would be us), a husband that just wants to be loved...it becomes really easy to neglect YOURSELF! 

I'm very happy that I've made myself one of my focuses again! Not in a selfish way, of course, but in a way that would enable me TO focus on other important things in my life and give those things the attention they deserve!
