I missed last week’s Mamavation Monday because I was all laid up trying to recuperate from my New Orleans escape. It was a fantastical weekend, and I assure you I will be writing more about it (including pics) on a day other than Mamavation Monday. For now, I have to get back to the purpose of this little project…Wellness.
I think I have discussed on here before, that motivation is a real issue for me. I don’t really understand why I crave Wellness, and I really have no reason to want to lose weight. I know all of the reasons why I “should” want to, but never-the-less I. Don’t. Want. To. I had a great keynote speaker at the escape, and I will be sharing more as I read through her book. She didn’t specifically point me to the why, but as a result of a conversation that was the result of her keynote, I think I have my reason!!!
Follow me for a minute, because this is a complex/simple answer. I write a Wellness blog…I want to be mildly good at writing a wellness blog…to be good at writing about wellness, you must walk a path to wellness…how in the world are you going to walk a path to wellness as a morbidly obese person without losing weight? Tada… Nearly instant motivation!!! So, now that my street cred relies on my ability to walk the walk and talk the talk, I am precisely poised to want to do something. Although I realize this is nothing more than a Jedi mind trick, I am grasping at straws here.
My first step is to get organized. I am utilizing some meal planning, and I am stocked with some of my favorite healthy treats. Creating a path of least resistance to making the right choices, and a new attitude of self-preservation. This is going to be a fun week!!!

Hey, whatever works for you young Jedi! Good attitude! Keep it up. We all need to use mind tricks from time to time. Love your writing!
