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&#8217;d been putting on since meeting my husband (yes, it&#8217;s all YOUR fault, Honey [love you!])<br \/>\n<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve been stuck for weeks at the same weight.  It&#8217;s not a mystery&#8230;  I don&#8217;t work out enough.  <strong><em>This body<\/em><\/strong> I&#8217;m lucky enough to have is one that needs daily, intense physical activity.  And the older I get, the more true that becomes.  <strong><em>This body<\/em><\/strong> also suffers from Crohn&#8217;s Disease and that&#8217;s a curve ball I&#8217;ve had to accept.  <strong><em>This body<\/em><\/strong> also needs to care for her young boys, move forward in her one-woman business, create &#038; 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.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nSo, the inner turmoil?  I truly need to let it go.  If I want to make 44 x 44 a priority, then that&#8217;s what I should do.  Stop lamenting the fact that I&#8217;m busy and &#8220;how am I ever going to get it done?&#8221;  <strong><em>This body<\/em><\/strong> is just waiting for my mind to get out of the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have inner turmoil.
