Sometime there comes a time in your life where you have sunk into a pit that you cannot seem to come out of.  You are six feet under before you realize that you have been buried beneath ground.  Such has been the case with me.  Everyday I've thought about this blog and how I've been negligent, but I was too embarrassed about my state of being to show this side of myself to the world and the public in general.

For the sake of honesty and transparency, I feel compelled to share.  Perhaps the very act of sharing my trouble will provide more accountability.  Perhaps the decision to bare another side of myself will help me to live a more successful, productive, and joyful life.

Well, here you have it....here is the depth of my drama, the crack in my emotional sidewalk, and the cross that I carry:

Yes...that's right...I'm addicted to Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha (w/Extra Whip) and the ever-so-perfect-companion of MILK CHOCOLATE COVERED GRAHAM CRACKERS.

Why has this kept me away you say.  Well, let's just say that this is representative of my eating patterns over the last couple of weeks.

Because of this sad addiction I've been getting up at 4:45 a.m. 4-6 times a week to workout.  I'm still enjoying Jay;s Boot Camp....or should I say ENDURING this monstrousity of a workout (can you say MILITARY STYLE).

I've been TOO TIRED to blog.  At 10 - 11 p.m., my prime blogging hour, all I've been able to think about his how much sleep I need and how I have to rise again this next day.

I'm happy to say that my body has slowly adjusted and I hope to get more consistent in my writing.

Hang in there. Who can resist starbucks? Not me.....It was a disaster for us when they finally built one in our small town.

I need to be more consistant in my workouts too....sometimes I blog instead of working out. Hmmm, mabey if I type fast enough, nah....I guess I should just bite the bullet and pull out those videos.....Again! Thanks for the reminder.

u need to know that white mocha is my favorite starbucks drink! though i've toyed with a few other selections, i always come back home to my white mocha :-)

i haven't had nearly the discipline you've shown in getting up to work out. i haven't seen a workout in so many months that my body may attempt a coup if i try to do more in my sneaks than walk back and forth to the car.

thinking of you often...talk to you soon...

I thought I had a physical addiction to Starbucks too. I was "hooked" on a tall Carmel Macchiato, extra whip and caramel. Well, my little town does not have a Starbucks. The closest one is two-plus hours away. I have learned that my addiction was merely a lack of won't power... :o(

My mom mailed me a book that her Bible Study is using right now. I thought you might enjoy ~ "How to Study Your Bible" by Kay Arthur.
