Day One

Happy New Year!

This is day one not just of the new year, but of my new resolve to get fit. Husband has been gone since the day after Christmas and my plan was to work out everyday while he was gone. Today is the first day that I have actually done it. It felt good. I have to honest when I say that I have no idea how I will be able to keep it up, but my resolution is to stay motivated.

Statistics say that I will probably last until the end of the week. I pray to God that they are wrong about that. I have been thinking (yes, dangerous, I know.) and I think that small goals with several little timeline check-ins could work. I am even considering buying a scale. I haven't had one of those in over a decade.  I think it could be good for me to hold myself more accountable and get some tangible results other than the clothes I am too afraid to try on.

I also went to my mother's house for the customary black eyed peas (luck) and collard greens (money). I did not eat the something sweet unless the yogurt I ate earlier counts. I hope that won't make this year sour. Especially, since I had an interview yesterday. Last year was hard for me in a lot of ways. I am ready for things to change.

My year has begun and I am so ready for it to be a good one.
