Hello, and happy July 4th everyone!
Alot of pretty awesome things have happened on this day throughout history, The Declaration of Independence was signed, Alice in Wonderland was published, Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum helped defeat the alien invasion…
…and I have decided to get my life back…
…again.
For those of you who follow my blog, you know it’s been a pretty rough couple of months. I resolved to make things better come June, but in the end that didn’t really amount of anything. While I did have some great times these past couple months, and I accomplished A LOT, I’m afraid I’ve just about gained back almost all of the weight I’ve lost since the beginning (will post the official weight on Tuesday though, as always).
I’m ashamed of that, but I don’t want to dwell on it, and I’d like very much to move forward. For the past few months I let emotional/boredom/stress eating get the best of me, and overall I did very little as far as working out goes.
But that ends today. I am declaring my independence from obesity (corny, but go with it) and I am getting my life back.
WooT!
Regular weigh ins will be coming back on Tuesdays (no skipping), and I will be doing more with weekly goals for myself. I also need to think about my overall goals and what I’d ultimately like to see come out of my life. It won’t be easy (it never is), and I will probably still have slip ups, but hopefully this time around they won’t knock me completely off track.
So stay tuned…

Jules – Big Girl Bombshell´s last blog ..Declare Your Independence
I’ve missed you in the blogging world. You’ll always have my support on here and you know I’ll be the first to offer criticism too. Blogs are a way to hold you accountable and this post is the first step. It’s time to move on from a little setback and move forward with your life.
Hey Steve. I’d like to hear about how things went wrong, like what were the steps or reasons that caused you to fall off the wagon? Was it a snowball of events, a single big thing, a change in situation/environment etc etc. We (you and us) can probably all learn something from your experience.
Best of luck on turning it around, I’ll be here watching those weigh-ins

Go Steve!!! You’re awesome! What a perfect day to start anew. Happy Independence Day to you, my friend.
You can do it!
Everyone has setbacks. You’ll get to your goal if you work hard and stick with it. YOu can do it! I’ve lost and gained back 35-40 lbs. two times already and I’m determined not to do it again.
