I haven't posted, again in a long time. So long, I forgot how to pull up my blog. Finally figured it out, obviously.

I was thinking about my ipod today, yup got too much time on my hands, but I LOVE my ipod.
It has helped me continue exercising regularly because its MY music and it doesn't skip and jump around when I move. When you think about it, I think you can tell alot about a person by playing their ipod. What types of music they have chosen etc. If you had to chose 120 songs that you like and reflect your personality, what would they be? Mine ranges from "great songs to exercise to" like ALL of Jesus Christ Superstar, the musicals the ones I have, like Mamma Mia (I plan on getting some of my sister's older musicals-that will really get my blood flowing) to the Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Crosby Stills, Nash and Young, Some of my favorite Christian songs (when I feel like I'm going to die) John Denver, Shania Twain, , Dan Fogelberg-Luther Van Dross, and on and on. Music really helps me. I remember when I use to run and would spend most of my time switching the channels on the radio stations-waiting for a good song to come on to motivate me. Anyway, who knows with this ipod thing, maybe I could run again, or maybe not.

Today, I don't have any great opinions on anything. Maybe I could use some on this diet thing.
I have lost about 30 lbs and worked very hard at it. I've done it before. Gained it all back, lost it gained it, etc. I want this time to be different but I can already feel the- now what?. What's the big deal. I feel better and I'm sure physically it can't be bad for me, but I still think about food, constantly. I'm points obsessed and my day center's around how many points, or not, I have left. Either way, I'm obsessed with food. I have tried to replace it with other things but when food has been the CENTER of your life for so long, its a struggle. Besides there are much things more important than eating, not eating, etc. Its so BOOOORRING!!!!! That's all, just at the point now where usually I begin the process of gaining it all back. Maybe I lost the weight for the wrong reason. I had some outside pressure. It really wasn't that important to me. I hate to admit that, but it wasn't. Well, thats my negative side, let me see if I can put a positive spin on this.

I am grateful that I was able to exercise b/c that is what made the difference. It is nice having more energy. I can wear jeans comfortably. OK I have the answer, I have been sitting here for over a minute trying to think of more positive things to write. It all starts in the head, negative, positive thinking. I gotta start thinking more positively about things-period. That should take my mind off of food-no food, points, no points, etc.

Damn, I feel good I lost 30 lbs!!!! Whew that was harder than 45 minutes on the eliptical! But you know, it did feel good to say that, Weird huh.

Well gotta go. Don't like to go inside this brain too far. Its scary in there alone! Hope everyone has a great day! Did I mention I LOVE my ipod!!
