Change is gonna come!

I'm not a huge New Year's person...

never been big on the New Years Eve parties

and definitely not one to make resolutions

but this year was a little different.

I didn't necessarily jot down resolutions

but they lingered in my head....

because this was going to be the year

FOR ME!

Does it come across as a little selfish?

If it does, I apologize because it really isn't selfish.

It's really unselfish -

I'm putting my oxygen mask on first

No more pregnancies -hopefully -

(still trying to convince a certain someone to make HIS appt.)

no more breastfeeding

no more sleepless nights on end

This is the year to get the baby weight OFF,

exercise more and get more rest,

celebrate my friendships & become the person God wants me to be.

Why is it so hard then when the results aren't fast enough?

Is it a news flash that change takes time?

I started out patiently....running.

Let me please say - I'M NOT A RUNNER.

But I had worked up to a few miles

and the pounds were coming off

That was the encouragement to keep going

until the pain set in

shooting pain with every step

- achilles tendonitis -

looks a little something like this

oh and if that wasn't bad enough

Also Plantars Fasciitis

All of this comes when I've got a good "stride"

My program was actually working

and becoming rewarding but now

no more running for a few weeks

cortizone shots every Friday

ouch.

Just a little roadblock but frustratingly at the

pivotal point in my determination

so I've chosen a different route

while I'm off my feet!

Yep, I joined Weight Watchers

I don't care if that makes me

sound like an old lady

As long as I'm being the best old lady

I can be!
