2012

my new year's resolution for 2011 was to be happier. i'm happy to say that i actually kept up with my resolution. :) i took the steps i needed to and for once took care of myself rather than worrying about what other people thought of me. i still have a lot of work to do on myself, but i'm more mentally and emotionally healthy now than i think i've ever been. it feels really good to say that.

i also managed to go to school full time and work full time this past semester, which is something i wouldn't have thought was possible for me a couple years ago. i'm not going to do both full time again soon, but it's nice to know that i can do it. i'm proud of myself. i also give maaaaaad props to those people that manage to work full time, go to school full time, and raise children. work and school took so much out of me, i can't imagine how it would be to throw a child into that mix as well.

for 2012 my main goal is to get physically healthy, while maintaining my mental and emotional well being. i think i can do it, especially since i have a lighter load this coming semester. my apartment complex has a pool and fitness center. while it's too cold to go swimming now, i have no excuse not to work out at least a few times a week. eating healthy is going to be the most difficult for me. i do love healthy food, but there's a special place in my heart for greasy, fatty, fried yummies.

i believe i can do it though. i just have to take it day by day and not be too hard on myself.
 
Man, I really know how that feels, hope you could keep up the higher standard you've set for yourself. Takes many wake up calls to start having realistic expectations towards such changes.
