To be honest with you, I’m thinking about closing this site. Not because I’m discouraged with the whole weight loss thing but mostly because I feel like I’m spread a little thin these days.

I have eight blogs I post to these days, one of them is just a job, three I created for work and four are personal. I can’t quit the pure work one because it brings in money I need to pay the bills. One of the ones I created for work is also up for consideration when it comes to narrowing down how much I do.

I want to be a published author. Technically I already am, but I want one of my books out there. Anthologies are great, but they don’t get your name on the cover. And yet, between work and personal blogging, working on my books is being pushed to the back burner. I don’t want that anymore.

I’d like to keep this place, but there are so many times when I feel like I’m writing the same things over and over. “Things are going well.” “Slowly but surely.” They’re all important parts of the process, but I’m even boring myself… I want to think of a new angle or something else I can bring to the table, but I’ve been so tired that I haven’t thought of much. The clouds are still getting to me, but I can’t afford a vacation to sunnier parts of the country for a refresher.

So I’ll keep on with things until better weather comes just to make sure I’m not being influenced by the dreary weather and lack of sunshine. But if you have any suggestions for ways I can spice this place up, please let me know.

Things are moving slowly at the moment in my Naturally Curvy world. With the cold, overcast winter days still holding on even though it’s well and truly spring now, the lack of sunshine has caused me to taking vitamin D to help combat the depression. Thankfully, it’s been working well. But that combined with TOM hormones has made for a very tired and slightly crabby me.

I had a couple of fun days of thinking I might be pregnant when I realised I was a day shy of completely missing my TOM (and was suddenly exhausted most of the time as well). As it turned out, my body was just playing funnybuggers and TOM came just as I’m starting a new pill pack.

But enough complaining.

I’m very much looking forward to spring so I can do more walking. I’ve finally ‘discovered’ audiobooks and have found them to be excellent walking companions. I like music, but after six years of marching band, I have a need to step to the beat and that can be too jarring for my hip and knee. With audiobooks, I’ll be motivated to walk longer so I can know what happens next.

Sometimes I feel like I should just give in and give up. How am I supposed to exercise when my tailbone is rotated out so much, making even gentle yoga something I manage to hurt myself with?

But giving up is no fun, so I’ll just keep walking.
