A new day

It is a new day for me... I have had time to think about things and I have decided that I need to take action. I have let myself become who I am and I don't like who that is. So now I need to take action. My goals are (in no particular order at this moment):

1. Lose this dreaded weight that I have gained!
2. Go back to work!
3. Get organized!
4. Learn to love who I am again!

Ambitious goals, I know. But things need to change for me and now is the time. I need to look at who I want to be on a daily basis and work towards getting there. I can remember a time where I was the weight I wanted to be, with a great job and nearly everything going for me. I loved me and I loved most of my life! Now, I keep waiting for some miracle to change my life. I tell myself that something will happen. It's been nearly a year now (actually nearly 2 years now)...not much has happened...but it can, with my determination, it can!

People who know me tell me that it is alright. That I have been through a lot these past two years. That is true. My husband has been seriously ill, I was layed off from a job I loved, and many other things. I have spent the last two years taking care of others and now it is time to take care of myself. This is not being selfish, just reality. If I don't start now, I may not get the chance to do it later.

Today is a new day. I have my goals. I'm determined to do it. I'm not going to back down on getting my life back in order and on it's way to success!

BTW...the picture on this blog represents what I looked like a few years ago and what I am striving to look like today.
