Wow. It's been quite a while and it's crazy how much has changed in the two months since I last blogged. Let's catch up and then keep those fingers crossed I can follow up soon with some posts about our landscaping and finishing our office.
In May, I committed (through my blog) to a focus on getting back in shape. It started with a well-intentioned dedication to P90X3. It worked ... for a while. In late June, I began to realize that the workouts just weren't cutting it for me. I wasn't seeing any change. My diet was as far from disciplined as I could get. Bottom line, I wasn't losing weight, I didn't look different and, while I was REALLY committed to wanting to change, wasn't committed to doing the work.
All that changed with a photo taken in mid-July with friends in a cabin in the woods. Sound ominous? It should. That photo scared the crap out of me. It's the first picture I've seen where I've noticed my weight has really caught up to me. All of sudden all that weight I gained wasn't just a number on it a scale; it had found permanence in my arms, my stomach, my hips, my thighs ... hell, even my forearms. It was a wake up call and I can say I'm now REALLY committed to doing the work.
I've changed up my approach to something that worked well for me in the past. It's taken a while to set-up and I'm in the first week of it, so I'd like to keep it my little secret for now. That just means the blog will be diverting back to posts about the transformation of our home. Stay tuned.
