Today is such a dark and dreary day, more rain. I swear it feels like it's still early in the morning instead of almost 1:00 in the afternoon. I think it's because of the dark clouds blocking out the sun.
So, I've decided not to do the annual end of the year crap. I know I said I was going to do it, but I just don't want to, so blah (that was me sticking out my tongue at you all!)
I've also decided that I'm not doing any Resolutions this year. The way I see it everyone sees Resolutions as temporary things, it's just something that you are going to 'try' to do.
This year I'm making some changes instead.
So far I've got 4 Changes that need to be made.
1. Excercise. I weighed myself just before new years and realized that I've put on 20 lbs. That sucks. That puts me at an even 200lbs. That really sucks. I've never been this heavy in my life. Not even when I was pregnant did I clock 200, and I plan to do everything in my power to avoid that now. As of the beginning of the new year I shall be moving my ass and working to get myself into a smaller size, or at least into better shape.2. Start eating better. These past few months we've been eating take out far too much. We've been eating pizza, burgers and crap like that at least one or two times a week. No more. I have to stop snacking on crappy junk food between meals as well. So, starting with the new year I have to make more home cooked meals of the healthy sort, and start keeping a supply of healthy snacks in the house. I have to deny myself of chocolate, not matter how hard and heavy that chocolate craving hits me, deny, deny, deny. That has to be my new mantra now.
3. I need to become better organized. I've decided that it's time for me to implement some changes to how I run my life. I need to plan my meals in advance instead of flying by the seat of my pants all the tim. I pick the main ingredient for the entree and then figure the rest will just sort of fall into place. It doesn't usually. So I need to actually start planning them out. I also need to start organizing my finances better. And I've decided that it's time to schedule my life until I've found a way to follow through on all the goals I set for myself.4. I need to stop avoiding the things in this world that I'm uncomfortable dealing with. What normally ends up happening is that I avoid it and then once the sky darkens and I head up to bed I toss and turn and not get a lick of sleep because the stuff I've been avoiding has decided to march back and forth through my consciousness and keep me occupied with all the worrying I end up doing.
That's it so far. Now Remember, they aren't resolutions. They are changes that I'm implementing in my life. I started making them a part of my life at the beginning of this week.
Now from what I've heard it takes about 30 days to make a routine (I think what that means is that after 30 days the order with which you live your life become comfortable to your body and it no longer fights against it. At least that's what I hope that means!)
I wont be able to get the excercise thing underway completely until the kids are back at school. So I figure by the second week of Feb. I should be falling into the routine.
That's the hope anyway.
