The only thing that matters now is my mission. Nothing will stand in the way anymore.
I am back, back to social media, back to blogging. I think I just needed a short break to clear my head and get my priorities straight. When I originally took the break it was to take the time to look for an apartment, after discussing this with Cindy, I have decided to wait until after the new year. She is right, I have had too many changes in the last few months and I am still working on getting healthy, plus Christmas is around the corner. It's probably best not to be in the middle of packing when I am trying to have Christmas for Valentina. So, that is on the back burner for now, I will revisit that in January or February, I will be more settled with other things in my life too.
I should actually be at or very near my goal weight by February and then I will just be maintaining it... I say that like it will be an easy thing, not... I don't have delusions about that, I am sure I will yo-yo up and down with five or ten pounds until I figure out how many calories I should be eating and how much I need to exercise. I am up for the challenge though, I know I never what to go back to where I was and I really enjoy all my new exercise. I went out to Zumba class last night, I arrived early enough that I was able to walk the track for thirty some minutes, it felt amazing... I have not been walking as much as I used to as I had chosen Zumba and swimming.
Well, last night proved that I missed walking and it truly is my forte... I have decided that I will definitely be walking more. I adore Zumba but because I don't know all the steps and some of them I am unable to do because of my knees, I don't feel that I get the best workout there. I am still going to go but I am going to be walking the track for thirty minutes before I take my Zumba class, that way I will get a decent work out. Besides I want to do more 5K's in the future and eventually I would like to do a 10K.
I will start back to commenting on the blogs I follow tonight, however; I am not going to be able to comment on every single one of them, especially if they are daily blogs. I will read them all, I have still been reading them while I took my break but I just figured out that I follow well over 200 blogs just on Bloglovin alone, it is near impossible for me to keep up with them all with comments. I do love to comment though and I will comment when I can, I just wanted you all to know that I have been reading them while I was off, I usually read them on my phone while I was on my long bus ride too and from work, so it made the time pass and I was entertained.
I also want to thank each of you for your comments and the readers who actually take the time to read my blog. I truly appreciate it as I know it can be time consuming. I have somethings I want to write but I will save that for another time... Suffice to say the time off brought a lot of changes and I came to an understanding about something that I was concerned about, I am not concerned about it any longer. I don't have to be concerned, that is wasting my energy and I need all of my energy to work towards each of my goals.
I missed you big time girl!! Good to have you back!!
ReplyDeleteAwe, thank you Rachel (Rae), you are so sweet... I am back and I have everything in perspective... Nothing like a little time away :)
DeleteWow! You just seem so positive and happy! Your break was good for you. I'm glad you're back.
ReplyDeleteThank you Betty... sometimes all we need is a little time to gain some much needed perspective ...I am feeling much better now :)
DeleteWelcome back to Blogging World, Launna...Looking forward more posts from you :)
ReplyDeleteThank you John, I have s few things I want to write about but with all that I have going on, I will be taking my time... posting only 2-3 times per week :)
DeleteFeb is the time for a Valentine:) Cheer up Launa, life has a way of sorting itself. Welcome back. Walking it is.
ReplyDeleteThank you Rajesh, I am cheered up... life is getting better :)
DeleteSo glad you're back - blogland is better when you're blogging :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Keith, that makes me feel really wonderful... you are always so nice to me :)
DeleteI admire you for doing the things you're doing. You're one committed blogger and reader/friend -- 200 plus blogs(!), that's something I cannot do. I didn't even know that you stopped blogging for a few days (or was that weeks?) because I was myself away from my blog most of the time. Anyway, thanks also for visiting my blog, Launna.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rhodora, I stopped blogging for a week and was off social media as well, I had some things I had to think over. I was overwhelmed with some changes in my life but I finally gained a little perspective as I stated above. I will always visit your blog whenever you post :)
DeleteWelcome back <3

Thank you so much Avy... I can't wait to update myself with your blog girl :)
DeleteI take a lot of breaks from blogging and from social media and they do help me feel rejuvenated when I get back. It's good that you took that much-needed break and that you are back on the blogging scene feeling more energized! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Irene, your blog is so beautiful, I am following you on GFC and Bloglovin now, I look forward to your next post :)
DeleteNice to see you back, Launna. Sometimes taking a break can give us a whole new perspective on things. Waiting until the new year sounds like a good idea for looking for a new place to live. 200 blogs is a LOT to try and follow. I can understand how time consuming that must be.
ReplyDeleteThank you Daisy, I am glad to be back... I am going to slowly get back to commenting.. and yes over 200 blogs is a lot :)
