What's up

A friend and I gave birth to an online magazine called TrikkeWorld Magazine.

I figured I should announce it to my faithful readers. Especially since my hit counter said no one even visited this site last week! So sad.

I have written so much about the Trikke and its wonderful benefits on my blog. I will continue to do so. And yet it's fun to look back at how the whole affair began. It really started back in 2009 when my same friend saw an infomercial in the middle of the night. From that came my love affair with my Trikke.

Most toys I get I grow tired of pretty quickly, but not the Trikke. Even as my one year anniversary approached I still was loving my Trikke.

Sometimes the funniest things are heard while trikking like it's too hard. It is not. The only other thing I can say about that is it's one fun ride. And it's not too hard.

Like anything the Trikke takes some getting used to, but it is so worth the trouble. And trouble is not the right word. The right word is trust. As you get used to riding the Trikke you develop trust. When that happens it truly is one fun ride!

Back on Track

Since I lost focus on my weight loss journey, I have had to recommit and refocus. And it is working! I am almost back to where I was last July, which was my lowest point, weight wise.

I got sidetracked with Zone Perfect bars and later just junk food and the holidays. It is so easy to lose focus. And of course, if something is good, well more of it must be better. Right? Wrong!

Sometimes I wonder if I really have it in me to lose weight. I am like a junkie when it comes to sugary, greasy foods. I try to introduce more colors into my diet, then I just don't feel hungry. I don't eat what was planned. This is where I mess up. I cannot plan my meals because I am a "what do I feel like eating" kind of person.

Back where I was last year at this time I was wondering if I should do the lap band thing or try again to curtail my sugar jones. I really don't want to do the lap band thing. Not just yet. So I will try again. Not starting over, that's not what this is about. It's about eating as well as I can... one day at a time.

And as long as I keep trying again there is hope. It's like a problem I need to solve. I'll just keep at it until I get it right.
