Where or where have I been?

Hello to you my first blog and attempt at writing! I have missed you and I promise not be gone for this long again. While I have been gone I have been trying to figure out a few things.

First, after watching an Oprah episode on the food we eat and how we get it, I have decided I need to do something different. After attempting to grocery shop for an ice cream made with only ingredients that I could recognize, I have realized that this is not going to be easy. Everything is made with some sort of chemical. I might have to break down and make my own?! I really don't know if I am up for that.

Second, I have been lacking in motivation for my weight-loss goals. Where or where has my motivation gone? It has left me because I haven't really had a final goal. Coming up with that goal is a tough thing, isn't it? Maybe I should just do my thing and let it go. Anyway, I will keep thinking about that one.

Finally, I have been contemplating another long distance race to run. My problem has been my everlasting shin pain and once again motivation. So, how do I get myself there? Signing up for something or continuing to think about it? Ha, Ha.

I will put it to you my readers, yes there is more than one (I hope). How are you motivated?

If I were a handbag...what type would I be?

I was thinking the other day while I was walking into work about this question, "What type of handbag describes me?" Now, I am sure that some of you think that I need more to do in life, but really I don't. Pose this question to yourself...

I would say I am like a double handled medium tote. Not too big, not too small. Two handles for support and I would say this bag is somewhat structured on the bottom of bag. Now, you are saying to yourself, "How is this describe me?" Well, I would describe myself as a not too big, but not super small. Usually with totes they have a few compartments in order to put items in and I too have some compartments that file information into. Its located on the back wall of my brain. I can dump and put in only so much stuff into my brain before it needs to be organized and cleaned out. I do the same thing with my handbag. My type of handbag has a wide opening on the with maybe a zipper or a snap closure. I too can be really open to things or sometimes halfway or sometimes closed. Now, the reason for the slightly structured bag. I would describe myself as a mostly structured person, who enjoys going off schedule for added fun.

This is kind of a quirky idea, but its alot of fun to do. Just think of all the handbag types. Clutches, slings, backpacks, and many, many more!

My Weight Watchers Confessions

Hello everyone my name is Sara and I have not been a good Weight Watchers Lifetime member. I just need to be honest with everyone that cares. I should be upfront and state that I am also an employee and nothing I say reflects anything about the company, but just my person beliefs and experiences. Now that we have cleared that up, AMEN, for the new year. I am happy to be forced to be back on track. I have been swirling around trying to do too much and working too many days. I faithfully weighed in on New Year's Day. I paid the piper and now I have some work to do. In reality, I only really have a few pounds to lose to get back on track, but good grief. Since when is it ok to eat what I want,"Just because its the holidays?" Ha, Ha, I am thinking I am not alone here in my journey. That's the beauty of Weight Watchers. We know we are not alone. Its great. As of today, I have successfully tracked for two whole days! Yippee~ small successes are great. Maybe just maybe I can get to the goal weight that I have always wanted to get to. So, there you have it a small confession over and done with.
Now, onto resolutions...I have none except to continue to strive to make a better life for my family and myself. As of today, that is drinking more wine. Happy New Year's to you and yours.
