Climb out of the void

Posted on January 3, 2017

Well what does one say after taking such a long hiatus from a sure path of good health and support... Seriously it has been quite some time since I last joined in on a Dietbet. I did not want to write a typical I am back post, because, well I feel like I should never have left.

Many things have happened in my wandering of life since I last joined a game, both postive and negative. However, all things whether interpretted bad or good go into the bowl that stirred together make the potion of improvements and happiness.

One of the things most realized that I receive from this wonderful community is unbiased support and encouragement from people that are wandering down some part of the same path I am on. I love that and I completely missed that raw energy that I received from the many people that I virtually met here. Some of which I stayed in FitBit or other social contact with.

Did I continue to make the crazy imrovements I did while staying so focused on these little games? nope. Did I totally go back to my former self? nope. I am somewhere in the middle and completely happy with life. However, I have yet to actually hit my ultimate goal that I set upon myself a while back.

So here I am, putting to test the one thing that I had found that kept me honest with myself, my DietBet community.

My name is Travis and I have missed you guys!

Missed you too Travis! Glad to see you didn't bounce all the way back up. I too am ready to get the encouragement and inspiration from others as well as the competition with myself, in attaining my Life Weight Goal. Was soooo close Nov 2015, but then the stress of life on so many levels slammed me and I got off track. Good Luck in your venture towards your Life Goal! God Bless.

Luck is an interesting and at times elusive force, I am always pressing it that is for sure. But the blessing from the Big Guy that one is always accepted :) Sounds like we both have some making up to do with ourselves and our goals, that's ok we got this. Godspeed brother!

Thomas

Godspeed indeed. :^)

Welcome back! It's hard to forget all the support you gave me last year when I started the journey. I too kinda got a bit lost within my very busy and intense college program and schedule. I love how you put your current status as somewhere in the middle of where you were before you started and where you were when you were involved in the ins and outs of your fitness life style. I hear you and feel the same way. I just got back into things a little over a month ago, now that i have graduated and am working and have a semi normal schedule. I get upset that I can no longer do some of the workouts I used to do just a little under a year ago, but instead of getting discouraged I know I have to just keep taking small steps back to where I was and hopefully surpass that point this time! You were a huge help to me and the weight that I have lost and kept off is partly credit to you! :) good to see you back! Good luck!

Oh my goodness such truth there: "keep taking small steps" so simple and they just keep adding up to giant progress. Thanks for the smile :)
