My last day in my 20s.

So I woke up this morning for the last time in my 20s, I'll be 30 tomorrow.  The age itself doesn't really bother me, I'm a person who looks forward to new beginnings and to me turning 30 is a new start, a new year and a new decade, but of course it brings upon a time of reflection.  My 20s were really interesting to say the least, I did quite a bit and I accomplished a lot too. I found the person I would spend the rest of my life with, bought a house and had a beautiful baby boy. I made so many new friends and said goodbye to some friends as well, some that I thought I would have by my side forever. I grew in ways that I never thought possible, I became an adult in my 20s. I dealt with sadness with losing friends and family to death. I cried so many tears but also smiled a lot more and cried more tears of happiness than sadness. So all in all, my 20s were successful.  It's funny to me, I had an idea of where I would be when I turned 30 and for the most part I'v

Overcoming road blocks

Ah. So, I've written about this a few times and had a plan that didn't necessarily pan out.  It's been hard to get back to focusing on what my end goal is. I could use the excuse that we've been busy and that I've been stress eating etc. but really, that's all it is, just excuses. Facing this head on is what I should be doing to get back on track. I'm not taking care of myself, not taking my vitamins or exercising regularly and eating whatever is easiest and not necessarily healthiest. I'm feeling so tired and sick again and the reason being is because I'm just not doing the things I need to do to feel good.  So here I am, getting back on the road to wellness, I suppose you could say. I'm going to outline my plan and hope that it helps me stick to it. So the first thing I have started doing is counting calories again. This was what made me successful before, owning up to what I am eating and not hiding behind that unknown or thinking that thing

I can't quit

Alright so I've fallen off the bandwagon a bit..and by a bit I mean a lot. Even after my "reboot" post last week..I haven't really done much. I've let my excuses get in the way and have really gotten off track. Ugh. It sucks to even admit that. I haven't been running and I haven't been working out at all, hell I haven't even been wearing my FitBit for the past week. I have no excuses, are there reasons why I haven't been working out or eating right? sure. Are they good enough? Nope. Not really.  I have the Jimmy Fund walk NEXT MONTH and while I'm definitely in better shape than I was last year, I'm not sure if I'm ready for it yet. I have a FREAKING HALF MARATHON in 3 months that I'm nowhere near ready for. Ahh this was not the time for me to give up. Nope. So, I have one thing left to do..and that is to restart and keep going. I read somewhere that it doesn't matter how many times you quit, as long as you KEEP STARTING..I'm
