Those of you who have read the blog the last few weeks know I've been stumbling. I've fallen off the wagon, chased after it, hopped back on, threatened to duct tape my ass to said wagon.... well, finally, I had my head in the right place (see earlier ones about needing structure, I'm back to pounding out copious amounts of words on various works in progress), and the points went well. The exercise was dimmed this week due to the cold weather, but the scale posted a big loss, and I finally crossed and shattered that 75lb goal marker! Weight watchers gave me a blue star on my profile page. Hooray! *tosses confetti into the air*

The moral of this story is STICK WITH IT! For any new habit regardless of whether it's weight loss or writing a book, quitters never win and winners never quit. Stick with it! Even if it looks horrible and like the worst possible thing in the world, those seeds of persistence that you plant will bloom. They will flower. And if you want to see what they emerge into, then you better stick with it!

Last week we talked about celebrating the small victories. Celebrate the big ones too! Enjoy and whatever you do, DON'T GIVE UP!
