\"click<\/a>I have inner turmoil.
\n
\nBut before I get to that, I should recap what 44 x 44 means. At the beginning of 2010, I decided to pursue losing 44 pounds by my 44th birthday on August 24. I was feeling good and, more importantly, ready to shed the excess weight I’d been putting on since meeting my husband (yes, it’s all YOUR fault, Honey [love you!])
\n
\nI’ve been stuck for weeks at the same weight. It’s not a mystery… I don’t work out enough. This body<\/em><\/strong> I’m lucky enough to have is one that needs daily, intense physical activity. And the older I get, the more true that becomes. This body<\/em><\/strong> also suffers from Crohn’s Disease and that’s a curve ball I’ve had to accept. This body<\/em><\/strong> also needs to care for her young boys, move forward in her one-woman business, create & manage schedules, do housework, organize clutter, get enough rest, tend to the dog, prepare meals and shuttle the little people where they need to be.
\n
\nSo, the inner turmoil? I truly need to let it go. If I want to make 44 x 44 a priority, then that’s what I should do. Stop lamenting the fact that I’m busy and “how am I ever going to get it done?” This body<\/em><\/strong> is just waiting for my mind to get out of the way.<\/p>\n
