I just have this issue with Weight Watchers... I love it, I truly do, but it's something that anyone can do, and that is a mental block for me. I want so badly to be exceptional that any time that I'm not trying to be better than the average person, I don't know what to do. I get on the message boards and it's a whole bunch of mundane crap, and people wanting advice on why they're not losing weight and I want to shake them and say "this is the right way." The only issue with that is I'm exactly like them... only I HAVE all of the answers and just not the wherewithal to stick to it and stay sane. So, then I get all bummed out. It's like knowing the secret to happiness and just shrugging, that's great and all, I will try to be happy later, right now doesn't work for me.
Anyway, I've actually found a little happiness lately! Tony has decided that he's going to run a half marathon with me. Which. Is. Awesome! I'm so excited that he's actually putting his money where his mouth is and making a change. It makes me want to stick it out so we can support each other... something that has been lacking in our marriage up until now. He's usually the one supporting me, but in this, it's mutual. We get to lift each other up, and I like the way that feels. I don't know how he feels about it though. He's not really used to me trying to lift him up where diet and exercise are concerned lol. That's sort of his forte.
Oh, and I dyed my hair back to its natural color last night. So far, I hate it. But it's going to be adjustment after having it blonde for so long. I'm just so tired of having unhealthy hair that preemptively breaks at the sight of a hair brush. I want to have long hair again, and for that to happen, I have to stop damaging it. So that's big news, right? Eh. My life is boring.

I don't think everyone can do it. If that's the case then why are people looking for advice when they aren't progressing. I think it still takes an exceptional person to adapt it and achieve the things you do with it. Im glad you're on your way to being happy, I think once the pounds and miles start melting away you will really get to that place. I may not like running yet, but I do love when you're happy, and that extra time together even if I can't see straight or breath well enough to talk. I hope you realize that all this running means you're gonna be stuck with me for a few extra years, right. I love the new color by tthe way. Just remember its not the hair color its the attitude that makes someone extraordinary. I love you
