I’ve taken a break from writing for the last couple of days for two reasons; I was putting myself under pressure to write about each day as it happened and I wanted to step back and make sure that I was absolutely, definitely ok with doing this.
In relation to the first reason, I have decided that I’m not going to even attempt to write about each day as it happens. It’s too stressful for me and I think that it will end up being boring.
I’m working on posting all of my daily journals in the progress section. I’m currently doing battle with the interaction between my ipad and pc. It is making me mental. I’ve spend the last couple of days trying to decide whether to replace my decrepit laptop with another windows laptop or to switch to a macbook. I think that I’ve read every article that has ever been written about the pros and cons of making the transition and I’m not sure that I’m any the wiser.
This ties in with my second reason for pausing for a couple of days – am I actually going to continue with this? If so, then I probably need to commit to the walled garden of Apple. I also need to make a decision about whether I’m prepared to share my progress photos.
This vexing question has been going around and around and around in my head until I can barely see straight.
If I don’t share them then I won’t actually demonstrate that what I’m doing works. It’s all very well to say “ooo I’ve lost 9 lbs” but a picture speaks a thousand words. And if I do share them, the world will see the horrible reality of my lardiness before I started training properly.
I just don’t know if that is something that I can live with.
