The first blog and I am trying to hang on already. Setting this up to make the ideal to come out of the brain and become something physical has been difficult. I know what is in my head but it has been everywhere, and recovering from knee surgery has not made it any easier. So scattered and when I sit to build this site (with is the third time), make the basics work and then refocus on what I really want to do with this project.
The project is supposed to be a place of communication, sharing, encouragement and connections as many people struggle with the opportunity to start again.]
What do I mean by start again? Well, I grew up with a mom who always did New Year’s Resolutions – we all did. And it taught me about failure and self-loathing early on. I now that wasn’t mom’s intentions but that was the outcome. And ever since I can remember, my life has always seemed to center around, “Maybe Monday I’ll Start..” or “A new notebook will help…” or “instead of this…let’s back it down to this…”. And even better is the excuses as to why I had to restart something I would never complete.
So, today at 53 going on 18 in my head, it just seemed time to sort this out for myself and if I could help others along the way, then let’s go. This website and all that will be coming is me finally putting my foot down on myself. And the other reason is simply this…
I
DESERVE
IT.
I men really, I need this for me. And I can’t wait any longer…I mean really.
So here is where I have started. 2021 I went from 287 to 145 thankfully through a very successful bariatric sleeve surgery. I am now also the proud owner of to brand new knees (with in 4 months I might add.)
I have also come to the conclusion my professional career is where it is going to be when it ends..that is another story, but coming soon.
I do not want to waste these new changes and it’s about time that I get heard. (That’s another story too for another day.) This C2C program as you will is for me to go through something with others who need help doing it as well.
Change is hard, uncomfortable and truly sometimes those closest to you may not be willing for those changes to happen because it changes something they do want to change.
Anyway, I am going to stop here for now. But I hope you join me in this journey or that I can help you on yours.
Peace, God Bless and keep rockin’ like the rockstar you are.
