I wish I knew...last year I was eating clean (not that I called it that) I knew the foods that effected me poorly (anything processed)...and quit eating them...lost 41 lbs...quickly and it was the easiest thing I had ever done...I felt great other than the loose skin (I'm 53) then something happened and I fell into my old ways...and in the last year have gained about 15-20 back...and just can not get to a point where I feel cleansed out and the cravings are gone...(I love that feeling)..do you have any suggestions?? Last year I thought I finally had my eating issues licked...so why can't I get to that point again? <br /><br />SharonSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16693157924759567988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-37515476578186991882011-10-28T13:19:57.827-05:002011-10-28T13:19:57.827-05:00One thing I have to, have to, have to! finish this...One thing I have to, have to, have to! finish this winter is a hat I've been knitting for my mother-in-law.

I thank God for that talent. During the winter months I don't usually finish projects. Winter is a time for me to go deep and explore my inner psyche either through writing, painting, or cross country skiing. Winter is my souls hibernation or incubation time. I generally start/finish projects during the summer months.<br /><br />Love the winter photo of your house.

I live alone, well except for two dogs. I woke this morning and saw by the clock that it was after 7:30. I flew out of bed--well, if you can call sitting up slowly, putting one leg at a time off the bed, standing halfway up, and hobbling to the bathroom flying. But I have all kinds of things that cause guilt. Not sure if it's my upbringing or if this is just a woman thing.Susan @ Blackberry Creekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16422203856244038266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-14338304456427597832011-10-27T12:26:57.742-05:002011-10-27T12:26:57.742-05:00Glad that you're back.

On the note of finishing, I am a champion starter too but not such a good finisher. I would love to finish painting the guest bathroom before Thanksgiving. It took me three years to get a new faucet on the sink. Now I have three paint samples painted on the walls. Surely I can get it done soon.Melissa @ thelittlegrayhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11772149908931555737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-36363539470884336252011-10-27T12:26:25.318-05:002011-10-27T12:26:25.318-05:00I ALWAYS get about 8+ hours of sleep a night.

Obviously, I am an empty nester but I know what my body needs and I do not feel guilty...well, every once in awhile when my husband gets up at 4:30 a.m. to get ready for work.

Finshed my Dad's side last year. That way when I am gone he will have an idea of who was who and what they did for a living, marriage, and died from. Part of my OCD.

Sleep is really important. I think your down time has been because you have been focusing on dieting and your body can only do so much. I'm glad to have you back blogging more...I missed you.<br /><br />I plan to finish copying all my photos onto the computer and Flickr. I got about half finished and then put it away while we moved and settled in. This winter will be a good time to get back to it. Thanks for the motivation. <br /><br />I could use some motivation on my lifestyle change (diet). I lost 15 pounds, but stalled and then got demotivated. I love hearing and seeing how well you have done.
