Aaaannnndd We're Back!

Ok, so before I get in to this I know that I have been a major blogging slacker! A bad, bad blogger! I don't know how 3 months have passed without posting anything, the only thing I can think to say is that life just gets complicated! It has been an interesting few months with some definite high points! Christmas was wonderful, UNR WON their bowl game and here we are in a brand new year! The new year always seems to be a time of reflection for me and the rest of the world, and I am always eager to make changes for the coming year. Each year it seems I set "resolutions" and then break them, it is a very frustrating feeling. I have decided that this year will be the year I change that! I'm going to be honest, I have been feeling very frustrated and disheartened lately. There are many things I would like to change about myself, I have been feeling like I have been waiting for my life to begin. It finally dawned on me that the only way things will change will be if I change them myself! I am the only one who can change my life, I have so many dreams and goals and I am ready to start living. The first change that I want to make is that I finally want to live healthier and get rid of all of this extra weight. This is hard to admit but for a very long time I have been so unhappy with the way I have looked and felt and I am finally ready to change all of that! So the changes have started today, I am completely changing the way I eat and that begins with a lifestyle change. Not only that, but I will be starting a new exercise regimen and this will finally be the year I stick with it! After a lot of thought I realized that blogging about my journey, along with the ups and downs that are sure to come my way, will be a huge help, it will make me accountable and maybe, if I'm lucky I can inspire someone to embark on the same journey. I feel so ready to begin and I have faith in myself and know that I can do anything I put my mind to. Of course diet and exercise are not the only goals I am looking to accomplish this year, I would like to get back to UNR (here's hoping that my financial aid comes through!), I am so ready to be back on campus, I have truly missed being at school. I want to deepen my relationship with the Lord, my faith is so incredibly important to me! I want to learn to cook and I would love to travel somewhere amazing. I want to take an aerial silks class once I am in shape, volunteer more and I want to finally start to learn to speak Russian. I have so many things I want to accomplish with my life and I feel that this is just the beginning! I have so many thoughts racing through my head right now, perhaps I will be able to better articulate them tomorrow, but I thought that if I don't make the commitment to do all of this right now, then I might just let everything slip away and that is not something I am prepared to do. My journey starts now and I hope you all will stick with me. Look out world, here comes a brand new me!!! I am ready to jump in to January :) Life is an adventure, it's a great adventure and tomorrow will be a beautiful day! Check back tomorrow for an update on the days activities.

Until then, sweet dreams and sleep tight!!!
