Starting again - and again - and again

If you have followed this blog - or not - you may have learned how last year I started a fitness goal 100 days before the end of the year. Well, a little interruption - diagnosis of breast cancer waylaid my plans a bit.

I'm explained some of that before, but I am ready to get back on the saddle again. I am in round 5 of chemotherapy - my cycle interrupted because of a two week hospitalization for pneumoccoccal pneumonia, near sepsis and chest tube insertion times two. OOOOHHHHHHH howdy.

But I digress. Today I am back with my fitness goals. And like all goals we take on they need constant attention, forgiveness and humor. When I attended Weight Watchers long ago, the woman asked "When do you get back on your diet after you get off of it? " The answer - "The next bite." That is life, like eating an elephant, you take it bite by bite. No matter what end you are looking at.
