Action!

So – its been a bit since my first post.  I got stuck again.  Yup. Stuck. My Comfort Zone has been chiming in – “Who do I think I am writing about weight loss and health and happiness while being the poster child for all the opposite things”.   In fact, this week I have been bogged down in all areas of my life, getting the housework done has been a challenge, getting off my butt to walk the dog, making phone calls that needed to be made.... just about anything I needed to do this week has been really tough and in many cases I just avoided the tasks I needed to do and did.... nothing.  Netflix has been my regular companion. 

Then, it happened.

Last night, we went to a summer charity hockey game at our local arena as a family.  I was pretty pumped.  In my late teens and twenties I was a hockey fan.  I watched it on t.v. and I went to local games pretty regularly.  Then I met my non-hockey fan husband .  So I got fixed up with a little bit more effort then I normally put in for a night on the town with my loves.  We climbed to our seats and I go to sit and ..... MAN! Was it a tight fit.  I was jammed in there real good.  It was uncomfortable. I was embarrassed but what was worse.... the look on my husband’s face that he was trying to hide from me.  It was a cross between disgust and disappointment and it was fleeting but I saw it, recognized it and pretended it didn’t happen so we could all have fun but it has haunted me since.  My heart has been heavy.  I know I need to take action, I have been avoiding action.  So today I called a personal trainer.  I meet with her... or him next Thursday.  Six days from now, and I am already terrified. But that was step 1.  Its an action.  If I keep taking action each day and keep moving forward I will get there eventually.  I just need to remind myself of this regularly.

To finish off I will leave with a few memes for inspiration:
