Checking In and Checking You Out

March 31, 2009 by Mary

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure for details.

This morning I was woken up by my evil little brother at 5:30 am.  I was not happy about it since I stopped waking up this early months ago when I stopped working the early morning shift.  But today it turned out to be a good thing.  I finished my column for the local paper and am getting the chance to update my blogs and will fix a yummy omlette all before I would normally even be awake.  Maybe I should start waking up earlier!

But as I sat down to right this I realized that I don’t want to!  Nope.  No blogging for this weight loss blogger today.

Instead I’m going to read your blogs.

I’m going to comment on your blogs.

I’m going to commentverse with you people.

I’m infinitely more excited about doing that than spilling out a ton of words describing what I’ve done in the last few days.

Lets just go with this for my Healthy You Challenge and be done with it: THINGS ARE GOOD.

Yep.  Things really are good.  Despite being awake when I’d rather be cozily snuggled up in my bed, I am super happy about everything.  I am working out every day (even if not at my old intensity yet). I am eating better.  I am very happy that things will work out this time, even if I live at home.  Yep I’m not blaming the living situation anymore.  Thats done.

Things are good.

Now I am off to see how things are going for my fellow weight loss bloggers.   Yeah, that’s right, I’m checking you out. ;)

(Oh! Oh! p.s. – Look for a review and giveaway coming on Friday!!  I have something to give away to 3 winners so come back then!!)

    I love checking everyone else out more lately than writing much of anything. Maybe cause I’m not making the best choices.

    I try to only recognize one 5:30 in a 24 hour period. That’s not the one. But you are right, you seem to get more done and it’s like you start your day off on a good foot.

    Glad to hear things are going well.
