Day 305 - Time to take a break



I have been struggling with posting lately. I just don't feel like it. A few days of not posting and I feel like it's piling up on me. I don't think it should feel like it a chore, a job to post here. But it has lately. Part of this has been 3 nights in a row of eating like I am preparing for a coming ice age. To write about it is depressing. And I am one for not leaving out details. I need to recharge, go at it alone for a bit. I don't want to start off each day seeing in black and white how bad the evening before was. I don't need the negative karma or to experience my fuck-ups twice.

I can tell you this:

The Last Diet will continue.
The exercise will never stop.
I will complete the journey.
I don't know how long the break will last, but when I do come back, I will be in a better place and ready to finish the unfinished business.
I'm sure I will be around lurking, checking in on everyone and gathering inspiration when I can. I just will be doing from the sidelines.

How long might the break last? A few days? A few weeks? That's hard to say. I envision being back sometime in February.

I want to thank all you who have been around for the ride, even those who I have never met through emails and comments. All of you have been a huge reason for my success in keeping this journey going for a record breaking run. I promise you will be witness when I make it to home plate.

This post almost made it as an official post. I decided to include it here since it is reflective of where I am at, at this moment. I had some time (a few hours) to let this marinate. I came to the conclusion that this blog is an important part of the glue that holds my journey together. So I guess my break was very short lived? I don't know. Maybe I will still need to take a break but maybe not just yet.

In the mean time it's back to the travel edition ...
