Start of Something New

There comes a time in every person’s life when they have to come to the realization that what they are doing isn’t working out to well for them. It might be something simple like the company that they are with or something major like a drug problem. Or in cases like mine they could realize that nothing in their life is working out for them. It not that I have an awful life by any means, its just the things that I haven’t yet accomplished are weighing on me now more than ever. I haven’t finished school, I haven’t lost the weight, I haven’t become the person that I want to be. I know I have a lot of life left to live, but I have to ask myself what is the point of living this life it if I am not 100% happy with the way that I go about living it? The answer: none. So I have decided to make some drastic changes. With this being the new year and all I have decided on some goals that will help get on the right path to metamorphose into the person that I have always wanted to be. 

Personal Development 

be more patient 

be more outgoing and open to new people 

stress less

be less sarcastic 

read at least 2 new books a month

Health and Fitness

eat 2 healthy meals and day and allow a SMALL cheat at the third meal 

lose 15 pounds by April 1st 

be able to run a 5k by my birthday 

exercise 3 times a week with Leslie consistently and run an extra day each week 

Family 

make an effort to see my parents once a week and call them twice a week

take more interest in my sister and her schooling and extra curricular 

spend more quality time with Chris other than watching movies 

spend more time with Molly and exercise her more

Home 

organize 1 area each week and keep it organized 

Financial 

cook more meals a home and use the money we would have spent eating out to start a  nest egg

pay off my credit card debts

create a budget and stick with it

track my spending 

Now I know these are a lot of goals, but I have a whole year to accomplish them. Some of them are going to be continuos goals, some are goals that are going to be reworked with I accomplish them, but all of them are going to help me be the person I am going to be someday. 

Enough with all the heavy stuff. Let me tell y’all about something fun. For New Years every year my work closes down and we have a huge staff party. This year we had about 300 people come out for food, awards, and dancing. I was fortunate enough to win Best Manager (yay me!) So who knows, maybe one day all of my lovely readers will be jumping at the chance to eat at my future restaurant and bar (here’s hoping)
