New year, almost!

It's almost a new year...finally! New beginnings. I love new beginnings. I don't really have any "resolutions", as I am always working on improving me, but I am going to vow and do a damn good job this year of putting myself first (apart from my girls, of course). In 2011 I did a damn good job of not doing that, so this year is mine.

This year has been rough for me. I made some really terrible choices since almost the beginning of the year that I am actually still paying for. The thing about mistakes though, is that they give us the opportunity to learn with each one we make. I, for one, am not proud of MANY of the things I have done this year. I hurt myself, my children, my family, and everyone else involved. I want to be more cognizant of my choices. I know if I keep my mental well being in mind, it should be simple, right? In theory, anyway.

I decided to blog more, even though at this very moment, I don't really have many things to say. I am working, I'm going to school, and I'm mothering. That's kind of my life these days. I'm not much into partying anymore, and starting next week I am working out again and eating properly. It just so happens that those things are happening on Monday, January 1st, but it wasn't planned that way. I just decided to step on the scale after not weighing myself in forever and realized that I had gained a good 7 pounds. Not good. I could feel myself gaining weight, and my face looked fuller, so I decided what the hell...let's just weight myself. Well, I am most certainly glad I did before I turn into a whale one piece of chocolate at a time! Ugh, I hate that. BUT, since weighing myself the day before Christmas I cut back on my sweets and have managed to lose about 3 solid pounds. Not so bad. Rambling now...LOL

Anyway, yeah, I'm going to try to blog a couple times a week at least. We will see how that goes when school starts back up next week...aye aye aye.
