You never really realize that you are letting yourself go until it too late. Until your pants no longer button, until walking the dog around the park tires you out or until you no longer find happiness in the things you once did. Then it seems as though it is a domino effect. You don’t look good, so then your self confidence goes down. Because you feel as though you look unattractive in ANYTHING you put on, you don’t want to go out anymore. Because you no longer want to go out (because having NOTING fit makes you feel worse about yourself), you loose touch with friends, miss out on celebrations and so much more.
I am devoting the next year to getting my life back. To get my body back, my confidence, my smile and my lust for living. I have made a commitment to myself, and you, to bettering myself through working on my body, mind and soul. Fitness, health and wellness, continued education and trainings, strengthening relationships with family and friends, and giving more to the world and the people in it. I want to reconnect with the things that bring me joy, laughter and smiles. I want to be able to walk into a room with my head held high, not because I look amazing (though that would be great too), but because I am totally and completely comfortable with and proud of the person that I am and the choices that I make.
I will blog about steps that I am taking to reach the goals, activities and outings that contribute to the success of these goals, setbacks, successes, things that make me smile, things that make me feel stronger and so much more. Knowing me, this will be a bumpy, uphill battle, but one worth winning. Now that I have made this promise to you, I am more accountable and have a little more pressure to make sure I follow through. But I thank you for taking the time, and the interest to join my on my Journey to a Better Me!
