I resolve to....

[JustDee]

So lets see, for my second act, lets see if I can keep it light and airy.

Life is OK. I don't really like where I am, but I think I am going to like where I am going. I have decided that I am not going to just go with the "flow" any longer, just trying to navigate around what life throws at me. This year I am going to "create" the life that I want to live.

I have decided to use this blog to keep myself real and to have a "journal" if you well of my experience.

It might not always be pretty or funny, sometimes it might be painful or sad even, but I'm not going to hide from it any more.

Its a new year and I've put it off long enough.. its time to actually start to live.
I could do this privately, maybe I should, Lord knows, I'm not really comfortable with "putting it out there",however, maybe that is exactly why I need to do this publicly. It is rather scary to live "out loud".

So here is what I intend to do:
I resolve:
That I will put an honest effort into losing 130 lbs within the next 18 months. Not for the sake of beauty or vanity, but for my health.

I resolve:
that I will exercise at least 30 minutes a day.

I resolve:
To eat healthier and keep a food journal.

I resolve:
To be more expressive and loving towards my family.

I resolve:
To be more expressive and loving towards myself.

I resolve:
To be more out going and not to be shy or feel intimidated.

I resolve:
To put the past to rest once and for all and start living in the here and now.

OK, so these are my promises to myself. there will probably be a lot of whining and self pitying going on in these pages...but it is my hope that when I'm done, I might be everything I could have and should have been.
