Impetus...
im•pe•tus [im-pi-tuh s]
1. a moving force; impulse; stimulus: The grant for building the opera house gave impetus to the city's cultural life.
2. (broadly) the momentum of a moving body, esp. with reference to the cause of motion.
One would think that health and or healthier lifestyles would be enough impetus for a pseudo intellectual like me to want and continue to do this until my ultimate goal is reached.
It isn’t that I don’t want to continue to lose weight and more importantly – it isn’t that I don’t want to get healthier which includes exercise and eating right because I do. It’s just that that; apparently; isn’t enough impetus to do so – for me it isn’t anyhow and it hasn’t been for a while.
So there lies my new goal – the unspoken…
I should I suppose apologize to myself for not being a responsible blogger – I apologize to myself because in not doing so it eliminates a means for me to be accountable for my inactivity. Also in doing so, it’s absolution for not posting my self-deprecating and sometimes sardonic posts that a few of you suffered through more than once (again with the self-deprecation) – to those that did – thanks!
And welcome back – the responsible blogger me (that I profess to be often) is back … again. And to anyone that has never read anything I have posted here in the past let me summarize for you –
I am a dieter, like all (most) of you…
I have lost some weight…
My LW is also a dieter – although she is much better at it than I…
I can be entertaining (much like a pet or a slinky)…
and
Expecting me to be verbose in my retorts or repartees on your blog might be an overextension of what or who I am – but I do read a lot of them and post on a few.
As for my blog it is nowhere near as diet/food porn/exercise related as some – it’s more about me and the bullshit I put myself through – more mentally than anything.
And finally to all of my blogger friends – you know who you are – thanks for asking and checking up on me from time to time and I will do my best to honour the ‘blogger friend’ contract in the future…
