a new year...a new me.

I have to say that I wish we could have a new years celebration every few months. I think it gives everyone the sense of starting over. Whether that involves shedding a few pounds, taking up cooking classes, being a better sister, volunteering more etc.

This year i am really going to try to focus on me. I know that sounds selfish...but i haven't focused on me in a long time. so first and for most. I am going to go to therapy. I switched my insurance and I am headed back to dr. ahern. He was the therapist I started to see, but then I had to stop. I know that I have major issues with my divorce...but I am not going to let that hold me back anymore. ( at least i am going to try).

I am decluttering my house. Anything I haven't used in a year is going out. Every two weeks I am going to tackle something....stay tuned.

and of course weight

I decided not to make a new new years resolution, because frankly I should probably keep the one I made last year. However, I decided to start it early. In November, Heidi told me that her friend Hillary is starting to do personal training and offerred to train us for a discount. We were planning to start it the end of november, but things came up with work and we didn't start it until about a week before christmas. I have to say that it is the best thing I have done in a long time. This is the main thing I am going to focus on this year. My experience with her. She knows a little bit about where I am coming from and she made me promise after my loss of weight to tell my story because she thinks it will be inspirational. I don't think so, but I want to write about the ups and downs of this journey that I am going to go on.

Side note: I know that many of you have heard me say the goal that i will lose weight...but I have learned that this is the one thing I can't do a lone. Hillary and heidi are helping and it will be accomplished.
