Starting over at "home". 2/18/20


I wrote the post below last night but just got it up today.
My January plans went south quickly after hurting myself by overdoing it too soon working out, then getting sick. 

I just flopped right back into my old habits. 
I've been so upset with myself recently for this. Trying to get Ray to go to the gym with me to help me go has failed. Hes just not going to do it so after I had a meltdown on Monday night on the phone with him, I decided to do something about it.

I went to the Wellness Center today. I finally had had enough of making excuses as to why I “can’t “ get myself under control.
The wellness center has twice before helped me save my life, which is why when I walked in there this afternoon for the first time sine February of 2015, it felt like I’d never stopped going.
Probably shouldn’t have, but I can’t change a minute of the past, I can only change my future.
I’ll take it a day at a time and I know I will get back to that place of feeling good again.
Ironically it’s 3 or so months before I’ll hopefully be leaving Decatur forever, but the goal is to get back into the habit, and along the way go ahead and get familiar with the hospital gym in Marietta.
I hope it’s similar but one way or another this MUST be back in my life again. I’ll keep my elliptical at home for the couple of odd days that I won’t be going to the gym, and I’m not thinking about weight loss as much as getting back to the person INSIDE that I know I can be. I was once, so she’s in there.
who is that person?
She’s the Rebecca that IS a person that makes working out a priority, and IS a person that sincerely makes an effort to treat their body better inside and out.
She ..I...AM that person. I’ve just been letting the other person...GeminiTwin haha...drive the bus for far too long.
Praying to have strength every day and not to give up.
My goals are not unreasonable, but they are strict.
One change is necessary to help the next.
Go to bed earlier EVERY night!
No weekday wine!
Get up, get dressed, have a cup of tea then get my soon to be well toned ass to they gym!
Avocado toast is now for the weekends. As it should be.
I’m happy today. I want to make these statements a reality.
I am the only person in charge of how my life turns out.
Do better, get better.


So that was Tuesday, and here the next day, I went again this morning, and it really was like coming home again.

Its a beautiful Saturday morning. I am sitting at my upstairs den desk which looks out a window. The view from here is nice. I can see the b...
