Day Three Hundred and Sixty-Two - Nearing the Finish, Here's Where My Mind is At

It's a frustrating thing when you only have four blog posts left to write, and you can't think of what you want to say.  Maybe it is from being over-tired.  I'm not sure, but I have been sitting here for half an hour wondering what I should say.  I really want these final posts to be meaningful and to finish my year on a strong note.  That may not be the case for me.  So tonight, I'm going to give you a brief post of where I'm at mentally.

As I'm approaching my one year mark, it is so hard to fathom what has happened during the past twelve months.  The hardest part of all of this is that there are days where I feel like I'm not sure where to go from here.  Obviously I have to continue for a little while longer to hit my final goal.  But what happens after that?  Do I keep blogging?  I will definitely continue to work out and count my calorie intake each day, but I'm not sure that I have it in me to continue with regular posts after I'm through.  One thing I have gained is respect for all the bloggers out there.  Writing a post every single day was one of the hardest things I've ever done.  So what do I do with this blog after I'm finished?  Do I try to compile my posts into a book (I'm not sure I have the following for that to be successful)?  Do I take the site down, or leave it up hoping that the occasional reader may stumble upon it?  There is also fear in my head.  I've read so much about people who have lost weight going back to old habits, and after only a few years, putting all their weight back on.  Will this happen to me?  I don't want all of this to have been for nothing.  I have to keep these good habits going even after I've hit my final goal.  I never want to go back after losing my butter half.

My calorie intake today was good.  I think I've done well this week and have a great shot at hitting my September first goal.  My run this morning was a little slower than some of my other runs, but it took a few minutes to get my legs going with the stiffness from yesterday's bike ride.  Tomorrow and Wednesday need to be double workout days.
