I've never been one for making New Year's resolutions. It seems pretty pointless, seeing as the majority of resolution-makers don't stick with them. But, I do feel that the start of a new year is a great time to start other things as well, so here I am.
I've been in and out of 3FC a lot over the past few years, but my most recent departure was for far too long. I let life run me instead of running my life. It's time to take back control. I need to take back control of my food intake, my exercise, my physical care, my appearance, my job, my family, my relationships, my social life, my finances, my home...I've been just sort of going with the flow, doing what I need to do to get by...
But now it's time for me to climb back into the driver's seat!
I've been very successful at having healthier habits in the past, and I need to get back to that point mentally where it is a priority and a habit, not a nuisance or a short-term fix.
January 1 will be my "official" starting day for progress and metrics tracking purposes, but being not much of a believer in a clear-cut "start" or "end" to a "diet," I've already started making some gradual changes and setting up support for myself.
So who's with me? I've got a LOT to work on, a LOT of weight to lose, and a LOT of strength and motivation right now (for some strange reason ). No more namby-pamby whining about my day, whining about my job, sitting on my butt on the couch, stuffing my face with junk that makes me FEEL like junk...
Losing Weight in 2008. Nice how that rhymes, huh? It's like it was meant to be
I think I'm going to go over to the Support Groups section and start a new thread...okay, scratch that, I already just did it in another window. So, anyone interested, let's start 2008 with motivation and energy and support each other to keep it up throughout the entire year over in the Miscellaneous Groups section...Losing Weight in 2008!
