New Year, New Me

I have to say, I have never been so happy to see a year come and go like I am this year. 2012 has been, for lack for better words, a craptastic year. 2012 was suppose to be the end of the world, or so have the film industry have you believe. For me, and I may be a little dramatic, it was kind the end of my world. Thinking back on 2012 I can only remember the pain, the tears, the months of depression. Started with the breakup, then my job situation, and nicely wrapped up in a 20 lbs weight gain. I actually texted the ex at midnight, his time, to wish him and his cat a happy new year because we are still friendly. He commented that it was still 2012 where I am, I just replied that 2012 needed to speed up because it was a horrible year for your girl. He replied with a "hey hey". Sorry, jerk, some of us felt the heartbreak harder than others. So, yeah, 2013 cannot be 2012: the sequel.

So I guess this is where resolutions come into place. I've never kept one resolution, other than that one year when I decided not to make any at all. But I think I need to make some this year. I like the number of 2013, I never liked 2012. I don't know, I have a thing about numbers. But that is neither here nor there. All I know is that 2013 is going to be a good year. I have to put it out there in the universe. I have to and must be positive. I know the only person keeping me from progressing is myself. Change, I am welcoming you into my life. Take a seat, make yourself comfortable.

I decided to make small resolutions with timeframes. I think monthly will work. First thing I am tackling is my health. I need to get back to the gym. In 2011 I went to the gym 3-4 times a week. My weight was consistent. Last year, I think I went about 3 to 4 times all together. Money down the drain. So, for January, I am gunning for at least 3 times a week. Oh, the gym in January is going to be a zoo. But that can't deter my resolution. January I need to hit the gym 3 times a week. Also, I need to get back on Slimgenics. Get back to eating better. Green shakes, here I come! I made one this past weekend and it was so good!! So, green shakes for a greener 2013!

But my main goal is changing my life and my future, finding my passion. Basically: what do I want to be when I grow up. I am going back to school this year. I am leaning heavily on paralegal courses. And I will be looking into that today, on the 1st. It will be a change for my future. Something I can fall back on in case I get the boot at my job now. I had that threat last year at my job and I can't go through that again.

Also, I have to finish the self help books I bought last year that I never finished.

I need to live a better life. I deserve to live a beautiful life. But I must believe that. I have heard that these two books will change one's life. I will be reading a chapter of "The Secret" every night before bed. I will finish it this month.

So January resolutions:
*Gym 3 times a week
*Register for paralegal courses
*Read "The Secret"
*Green smoothie once a day

I will be doing a weekly review.

And to everyone, Happy New Year. Do you have resolutions?
