After reading some of the comments from today's post I'm thinking I should do a weekly post on how I'm working to lose my weight to help motivate you to join me. (Or help motivated those who don't need to lose but want to get toned.) So starting on Monday, I will not only post my writing prompt, I will also do a post on my weight, my goal weight, and a picture of what I look like now.
Let's Get Up and Get Moving Together!
The time has come to start writing again. I just had child number three back in February this year. I had of course put my writing on hold during the last two months of pregnancy and now it is time to get back into the swing of things three months later. I’m hoping this blog will help me do just that.
One of the things you will hear repeatedly in the writing world is, “Write everyday.” As wonderful as this thought is, sometimes-writing everyday just doesn’t happen if you’re a Writing Mama like me with a fourteen year old son, five year old daughter, and new baby girl.
Between spending time with my husband, three children, our two pets, and cleaning the house . . . I sometimes wonder how I find the time to write at all. Not to mention maintaining my editing business and company Stories for Children Publishing, LLC. However, somehow I seem to fit it all in each day, week, month, and year. Of course, sometimes I find I do not get as much sleep as I need because of it all.
Oh my gosh, Virginia! I SO need to join you in this!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Let's try and get a bunch of us working together. After all having support with your writing helps you improve, so having us supporting each other will help us get up and getting moving to lose those extra unwanted pounds. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll join you in this, but I won't tell anyone my weight. NOT brave enough for that! I need to be much better about getting on my rebounder everyday and do a better job about journaling my food. I am proud to say that I've FINALLY made the commitment to eat vegetarian. I've tried several times in the past but never stuck with it. This time I'm going strong!
ReplyDeleteYou are so much braver than me, Virginia. Mayra, where are you going to fit even one more thing in, darlin? We're all nuts.

Ha, ha! You're right, Cheryl.
ReplyDeleteBut I swear to you, there's a direct link between writer's block and overeating. When I face a blank page, my first urge is to get up and check out the kitchen. I have to consciously stop myself and say, "Stop. That's writer's block taking over."
Yes, count me in. I'd love to join you :)
ReplyDeleteI'm all for your "crazy" idea. An avid runner, when I'm not writing, I'm running. Being in shape and at your weight goal makes you feel so much better about keeping your butt in your chair - trust me. I went from obese to thin nearly three years ago, and it was one of the best things I did for my writing!
ReplyDeleteGlad to have more of you joining me!
