Food, fitness and weird stuff....

[teaguestoy]

Okay, a confession first. There are parts of the blogging that scare me. I have journaled, for myself, off and on for years and years. Writing matters to me. AND I realize that part of what I have been working through with LJ is moving that into a more public place is scary. When you share your feelings, hopes and fears in your own private journal

Myfitnesspal worked really well for me for a long time and I lost 17 pounds and really got back into shape, felt good, was not beating myself up all the time because myfitnesspal lets you figure in little splurges if you want them and balance them out... and it seemed kind of fun... my daughter was there and also Dawn and even Rosie for a bit, was I imagining that??? Rosie? But then, as of last spring when I lost my brother, my life kind of got out of my control, my sadness made me stop taking care of myself and more recently I tried to start up with the site again but I just wasn't enthused enough to be filling in what i ate and what i did each day... it became dreary. It was just me, I think the site is still really good. But I think its possible an LJ group would be the kind of fun infusion I am needing right now to get going again.

I think Kristin who teaches the FF classes on Daisy's site is really good too. Even today on her FB pages for FF alumni, she was telling me to look forward not back when I mentioned I'd fallen off the fitness wagon. You know, that today is a new day thing. I almost signed up again, but not able to afford it just now. I love the new format for her feedback... maybe next time around.

I really loved going with my daughter to her soulcycle class... but actually need to be in better shape before I go back...

So another myfitnesspal possibility? I so understand how the huge emotional wallops just take things away. grief is horrific and all consuming - i so get it. I'm excited to start the FF class - now! I am working it into what I'm doing and figuring out the time to make it work.

As for going to a cycling class when we're not in shape - ohhhhh so been there. So, maybe there is a way we can support each other to get where each want to go :)
