With the new year brings the dreaded resolution.
I, for myself, am trying to loose weight.
I want to be healthy and fit.... but damnit.. sometimes I do NOT want to eat my vegtables. :P
But... a bit of back story... I started a new diet right before Christmas and have gone down 10 pounds already... btut I need to kick up my diet plans if I'm to win anything in a company run "diet contest".
The contest is really just something to try and get people to loose weight and get healther. I joined up because I'm already tryin to loose weight, so why not try to win something at the same time? My current goal is to get down to 250 before the end of June. Something I think is doable. I might need some motivation in other ways though.
I hate some of what I'm doing because it's not as convienent or because I can't cook as well as I should be able to. Also... I haven't told my parents yet that I'm on this diet.. If I do... I might be able to get them to change some of the meals they make when I'm out there... but I'm not sure. We've always been meat and potatoes kind of family.
It scares me that if I DO loose the weight... what happens if it just all comes back and more? I've yo-yoed before and I hate that feeling. If I won the lottery this wouldn't be as much of a problem... I could get a bigger house with a decent kitchen and really do some cooking..... tho....hmm.... I just remembered... mom and dad are going away in Febuary... tho I'm on day shift... or is it nights... I think I'm on Nights that weekend... still... I could try making some stuff out there.... *sighs*
I know.. I'm making excuses.
I'm good at that. In any case, I'm trying to loose weight so I both be and feel healthier. I want to be able to go into any store in a mall and pick out clothes. I'm determined to do this... see it through. A few checks and reminders would probably help.... I'll get annoyed... but that could ust be because I'm cranky about the whole thing.
I love you guys and want to stick around as long as possible... so... if you don't mind getting chewed on a bit... help keep me going on this? I need the support.. and god I wish some of you were closer.
Anyway that's the big resolution out of the way.
I will start drawing more often.
If I ever want to get the images of a Web-comic out of my head... I need to start doing this more frequently. Practice makes perfect and all that.
I need to draw more if I want to make a web comic. It's something I've been thinking of for a while, just haven't been able to put into action. I need to start doing something to rectify that.
I need to spend my money more wisely.
I'll be broke or bankrupt before I'm 30 otherwise I think. I need to start making better choices and quit being impulsive. I really need to work on a budget and stick to it. I'm working on that, but it could definately be going better.
Those are the top resolutions I have this year.. and I hope to God I can at least stick to one of them.
Ok New Year....bring it on.
