A new find.

I just stumbled across this blog, and it's had me sitting here, scrolling through the back-logs of posts, reading about this woman's journey of weight loss and finding her happy self, without the back-breaking sweat and toil of the gym, and the disheartening view of all things food related.  Please, go, browse.  Check out her weight loss journey, and her views on exercise.  Currently, I am running every day in an effort to train for a 25k, but it is not something that I will be doing for the rest of my days.  It's not 'an escape' for me, it's a goal I set because I knew it would be hard.  And it's been too long since I've pushed through and finished something, so I wanted whatever it was to be BIG.  To be SOMETHING.  To be a moment in my life that I (and my husband and my kids) can be proud of.  Because it doesn't come easily or naturally.  I hate it.  But I'm doing it.  For now.

Go, read, and be merry.

A change.

I'm not even sure how long it's been since I've written anything.  I'm happy to report that it's not because I have nothing to write about, but because in fact I am too busy to write! What a great change!

I was thinking tonight, though, that I miss all that blogging holds with it.  I miss being able to sit down and write a summary (that's longer than a facebook status) about what my life is doing right now, knowing that family near and far (well, mostly far) will be able to read and keep up with our ever-moving lives.

I think, from now on, this blog will be a combined effort from my other (failed) attempts.  I want to include snippets of our lives, yes, but also recipes, and perhaps an encouraging word or two.

So, I suppose, I'm back.  For now.
