In a Bad Place

I've avoided dropping in here because I've been eating garbage for the last three weeks. A constant string of company, eating out, and extra helpings of writing opportunities have pushed me enough that I've headed in the wrong direction. It's so much easier to eat things that are quick, unhealthy and fattening. Exercise is harder to fit in now that the rainy season is here, the mosquitoes are bad...let's see what other excuse can I throw in there. Oh, I know, my support group hasn't been able to get together. In fact, when we talk we hold on to the fact that we're all in a bad place.

With all that said, the sad reality is that I've got to get back to doing the right things. It's a process. I have one more week of company, and an editor-in-chief that wants a look at a manuscript I planned to edit in November, my monthly column is due, ohhhh there it is...the problem. STRESS! Why on earth do I let stress pull me away from what I really want to do? It only creates more STRESS.

The first step is to make a commitment to head back in the right direction. It's so much easier to eat what I want, when I want. Writing this blog is a first step. I'm admitting the problem. Anyone else out there on this page?
