Welcome to my first post!!

A few weeks ago I had a breakthrough.  I realized that I have power.

Those of you who know me well know that the last 18 months of my life have been out of control and full of changes.  Many of the changes have been liberating!  Some have been frustrating and down-right depressing.  All this change and added responsibility put me in a mental zone of 'just get by' or 'take one day at a time'.  Good advice at one point, but eventually you need to look beyond the day-to-day and take inventory of how are you "improving your life and those around you".  I struggled with my weight, finances and time management.  I gave myself permission to let things slide because I was going through a divorce, a breakup, a bad month, etc.  But a few weeks ago I heard a quote by Albert Einstein (this wasn't the first time I heard the quote, but it was the first time I owned the message within the quote)...."Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results".  I was doing the same thing, eating the same things, sitting on the same couch for 4 hours every night, living paycheck to paycheck, making excuses....and I was slowly going INSANE....which is when I had my breakthrough.  I need to own the changes I want to see in my own life.

So I started with one goal: Lose weight.  I joined Weight Watchers and started doing the 30 Day Challenge on my Wii Active.  I have lost 10 pounds so far.

My goals are posted on the right side-bar of this blog.  I will keep you posted on what I am doing every day to get inspired or to accomplish my goals....Thanks for reading!
