Starting Over--Again

It never fails, I start a new diet and exercise routine and by day three, it's blown in some way or another. The kids get sick, too many errands to run, someone has to finish off the last three pieces of cake---whatever the reason, I'd always feel frustrated and annoyed at myself for giving up so quickly.
Now, with my book Worth the Weight about to be completed, I started to really read my character, Megan, and realized that she didn't start with everything at once.
One week she changed her food choices, the next she started working out.
I'm on week one and so far, I've done well. I've not cheated, I've stayed with my goals, I'm not starving myself nor am I eating nothing, but bacon. I've found a good routine that I can stick with even after I get to my goal weight/BMI.
Then next week comes the exercise--hopefully, I don't jump into the deep end and beat myself in the process.

Revisions

Hello All!

Welcome to my blog site--sounds cheezy, but it's a start.
I'm heavy in revisions for my first fiction book "Worth the Weight" and hope to have it out to the agent here in a couple of weeks. Here's a little nibble of the book--no calories!

Megan Sayla's journey is a great one. She goes from runaway bride to bombshell, but her journey isn't a simple one. She has quite a few potholes to jump over, a psychic Italian grandma to deal with, and fight the never ending urge to eat raw cookie dough. All this while trying to be calm, cool, and collected when around the guy she calls Adonis.

More to come!

Stay tuned!
