Shocking...

It’s actually pretty hard to keep up with a blog when I have so much less to complain about. Shocking, I know.

I just finished reading a good friend’s story on Richard Simmon’s website/blog. I’m so proud of Heidi, it’s unreal. The journey she’s had to go on is both heartbreaking and inspiring, though mostly the latter. Heidi is one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever met, inside and out, and her weight was never an issue in my mind because she was a constant delight. Through a good friend, she got hooked up with Richard Simmons’s aerobic group/class called “Slimmons”. It’s changed her life. She’s lost some weight and is well on her way to a healthier and happier life. No doubt, she will have the kind of struggles that tend to plague those of us with a little or a lot of weight to lose. She said something important in her story: communication is just as important as exercising and food. She reminded me that sometimes the issues behind the weight gain are the key behind the weight loss.

So yeah, despite losing the weight I have and the fun I’ve had along the way, despite Jason doing well with his overall health, I should probably keep blogging. If nothing else, to make sure that I keep the demons in check, and to give myself a point in time to reference when things do go wonky.

I do love that this is pretty low-key right now. It’s a lot more freeing.
