Day One

I am going to give this blog one more try. I think this is the fourth time I've started over.


It's become even more important that I do something good for myself. I've been getting sad and disappointed with myself. I am still working retail, it's been four months now. I haven't applied for any jobs since the before the holidays. I have settled into this life, and I'm unhappy with it. I have to keep trying to change my life. I've never been good at doing homework, or at working out on a regular basis. But giving up on those goals has only made me more depressed. So I will keep trying.


Today I made vegetarian split pea soup in the crock pot. I also cleaned my room, which doesn't sound like much. But climbing over crap, picking things up and cleaning is actually a mild work out for me. I am so out of shape.


My short term goals include working on my fitness and my waistline for our trip to Florida. Then losing weight and inches for Laura's wedding. My long term goal is that by the time this year is over I will be fit, have a good job, and be happier.

My inspirational photo of the day. Me! This was November 2006. I was in China. I hiked Mt. Taishan. I was around 170 pounds at this time, which for me was 20 pounds overweight. I didn't feel very fit, but I was still trying new things. I was travelling around China on my own! I want to be this woman again.




Let's go!
