New Outlook

So, it's been almost a year since my last post.  A lot has happened in the last year, but I never had the "blog bug."  I never felt anything was really noteworthy, and I never really had the time.

I've created new goals for myself: Goal #1-Make "me" time. This would be creating time to: blog, read, scrapbook, craft, and workout.  Yes, I said workout. 

For those that know me, I'm kind of allergic to exercise.  I almost break out in a sweat just thinking of exercising.  I have friends that religiously workout- bootcamp, running, etc.  So, after taking a good look at myself in the mirror sans clothing, I decided it was time for the inevitable.  I decided to start the C25K program and Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 days video.  I'm not gonna lie.  It hasn't been easy.  After 2 weeks, I noticed a definite change.  I have more energy.  I'm eating healthier.  I journal what I eat.  A lot of times just looking at MyFitnessPal to see how many calories something is deters me from eating it. I am pretty sure I've lost inches (but I promised myself I wouldn't re-measure until after 4 weeks--still 2 to go.) I still cheat though.  I'm not giving up hamburgers, guacamole, queso and chips, etc.

So, I guess you could say that I'm just a normal girl trying to improve my life.  I want to be a better mom, wife, colleague, friend, and me.

OH, I decided to rename the blog. I'm still working on the design.  It's a work in progress...so you'll see it change over time.
