Well...here I am, 1 year later

Yesterday was my 27th birthday. A whole year since I started this blog. I could be really depressed that my birthday came and I am not down the 40 pounds that I would have liked. BUT, I am down 15 pounds from last year, and I can't complain about that. I took three vacations, had holidays, kids birthday, parties, etc throughout the last year, and still managed to lose 15 pounds. I know, it is not much, but all I know is, I didn't wake up at 215 like I did last year on my birthday! I made some goals yesterday, for my 27th year. I will share them with you -

1.) Take better care of myself. I know how I am, being a mother of three...I always come last. I wake up in the morning, take a fast shower, throw my hair back in a ponytail, no makeup, and start my day. Most days I don't have time to workout. I only really wear makeup and do my hair when I am going to church, or doing something special. I'm realizing though, that if I take that extra time to take care of myself, I will feel better about myself, and probably work harder at being healthy, eating good, and working out. I'm not saying that everyday I am going to be wearing makeup and curling my hair, but I just want a better overall mindset about myself.

2.) Do 25 situps every night before bed. Hopefully I can work up to more eventually, but that is my starting point.

3.) To run a 5k by the end of summer, WITHOUT stopping.

4.) Obviously, to lose weight! Haha...somethings never change! :-)

Well, I just wanted to touch base. I gained a couple pounds over Easter and my birthday, so I am working hard to get it off again. Awww the circle of life! :-)
