Think it, believe it, do it and you'll make it happen.

Time to be honest with myself - well somewhat....gotta start somewhere, right?

Who am I?

Twenty something year old fem who spends most of her days off doing one or more of the follow: reading (recently bit the bullet and decided to try paranormal romance novels - they are quite good, I now wholeheartedly admit), cruising through the local bookstore while sipping on some kind of Starbucks concoction, watching tv, sleeping, surfing the net and on the odd occasion chilling with my friends.

Why blog?

Need an outlet - be it to let out some frustrations, random thoughts, inspire me to continue on whatever quest I am on.

Some of you, if there is anyone actually reading this out there, might be wondering what the hell is wrong with her that the above activities is how she spends most of her free time. I can make many excuses from the evils of shift work (yeah, I'm part of that club), to always being tired, to just wanting alone time etc. Honestly, I have my theories, but I'm not 100% sure what it is. What I do know is that I'm not happy with it or how things are in my life right now. While I know I want to change the situation, that old saying about old habits dying hard rings in my head. This kind of makes me want to watch The Secret again. Yeah, I saw it and I found it inspirational and did it for a while. It did help, but I kind of fell off that wagon. I seem to have a problem when it comes to being thrown off a schedule. When I am thrown off the schedule I find it hard to get back on. No clue why.

I guess I'll get to the point. Last year around this time of year I confronted my chip addiction. I managed to go several months without eating more than a couple handfuls of chips. That is an achievement for me, who can consume one bag by myself quiet easily. Around that same time, I decided to get healthy, by actually going to the gym regularly (twice a week) and I saw good results. That all stopped around December of last year when I went on vacation - a real and a healthy eating vacation. I kept telling myself that I'd start after New Years because I hate going to the gym when so many people are there. Then I made other excuses about the weather, being too tired to go to the gym etc. Now we're in May and over the past month I've only gone to the gym two, maybe three times, despite having written down gym classes that fit well with my schedule in my monthly planner. So this is it. Time to change. Time to get healthy and actually follow through. I need to be accountable. So I'm going to try the Healthy You Challenge and hopefully it will be what I need to get and stay motivated.

Time to stop making excuses....I make a lot of excuses, be it about the gym, joining clubs and actually attending things, to eating right. Time to stop now. Think it, believe it, do it and you'll make it happen.....right?
