2015 - Let the Journey Begin.


Refurbishing Life.
A year full of goals leaves me feeling excited, anxious, sometimes overwhelmed, and definitely eager to get started! After watching THE GAME last night, watching The Ohio State Buckeyes accomplish what they accomplished this year (loss of QB #1, loss of QB#2 the game before the Big 10 Championship and winning the Big 10, Playoffs and National Champs with QB#3 and an amazing Buckeye team), I feel l have NO excuses to not at least try to accomplish mine. I mean I don’t have Mark May bashing me so I’ve got that going for me, right?!? It’s time to quit talking and start acting, and I am laying it on the line so you all can hold me accountable! *I reserve the right to tweak this, only to keep reality in check. LoL. So, here we go ...

THE GOALS
  1. Finish my book. I have this nagging voice in my head – it’s Stephen King. “How serious are you about writing?”
  2. Blog weekly (perhaps more frequently – we’ll see where the year takes us) – to keep you all updated and myself in check.
  3. To be ahead of schedule with my freelance workload.
  4. Lose 26 lbs. (that is a hard one for me to publicize) - and you will notice the countdown to the top right of my posts!
  5. To be a better wife and mom.
  6. To change my family’s eating habits.
  7. To be debt free by year’s end.
THE PLAN
  1. I am going to start with a weekly plan and see where that takes me.
  2. Focus will be the key this year. There are so many distractions in life; I need to learn how to block them and get movin’!
  3. Write daily - I mean the book will never get finished if not!
  4. My Fitness Pal – keep track of everything to tell me where I am – mostly how I am eating. Okay, let’s call a spade, I know how I am eating, that is why I am here. The goal is to hold myself accountable by looking at what I eat daily.
  5. Workout, run, etc. Start big or start small, but START!
  6. Reward myself. Whether big or small, it will keep me going.
THE RESULTS
Coming soon … Visit me often!
