...But wait...I didn't make resolutions. I made GOALS!! What's the first rule of goals? Set them. Okay, the second rule of goals? Revamp! Every week you are supposed to evaluate your goals and revamp them. See what you did well in and what you did poor in. This past week I did poor in blogging but I did well in moving out of my parents house. So, for that I give myself a pat on the back. I hadn't blogged while I was moving because I didn't have any internet. Now, obviously, I have it.
Also, I am feeling much, much, much better! I don't feel quite up to lifting weights yet, but I decided that I was feeling good enough to go for a walk. So, I did. Three miles later I got off of the elliptical machine and felt wobbly. It was awesome! I felt so accomplished because, since I have started this process of working out, walking three miles has been my ultimate goal. Now I know I can do it and that it takes me about 45 minutes to do it. So, what is going to start happening now is that I will start walking the three miles everyday and I will be working on getting faster at it. So that when I do my 5k I won't be walking any of it. I want to jog/run the whole thing!
I probably could have gone a little faster today but I was trying to knit while I was walking. I know that sounds like no big deal but it was actually kind of difficult. I am not yet one of those knitters who can just knit without looking. Well, that's not entirely true. I was finishing up turning the heel on my sock while I was walking. That is kind of hard especially when you are struggling to find the place to do a twin stich. I almost fell off of the elliptical machine because I nearly lost my balance while looking down to knit. HAHA. Oops. Good thing I didn't fall 'cause that would have been embarrassing!
I can't wait to see the pounds come off of this fat old body. I am considering joining Weight Watchers also, but I am kind of on the fence about it. If anyone has any kind of experience with Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig or any of those things, please let me know what your experience was. I like to make informed decisions.

Happy NEW Year!
Well, I am still sick and that sucks but my New Years "party" was quiet and nice. I spent time with my boyfriend and my parents. I know, I know, the parents are not everyone's top choices, but they are mine and I really enjoy their company. The older I get the more grateful that I am that they are still here on the earth and that I have the opportunity to enjoy their company as often as I do.
Since I have been sick I haven't been utilizing my fitbit as much as I should be. It's sad. I have only taken about 2,000 steps a day. Terrible. At the same time, I need to rest.
SO, this is the time of year that everyone makes resolutions and by February they will have failed them. Therefore, instead of making resolutions, I am setting goals. Which are kind of the same but people talk about goals all the time, not resolutions. Have you ever noticed that? After the month of January no one talks about resolutions...but every month someone is having a discussion about goals. I digress.
So, my GOALS for 2015 are as follows:
1) Make working out a habit
2) Change my eating style
3) Take a multivitamin everyday
4) Move out of my parents house
5) Run a 5k by Spring/Summer time
6) Write in my blog and personal journal everyday
7) Remember that change happens a little at a time
8) Read the scriptures everyday
9) Complete my Personal Progress
10) Do something crazy! (TBD)
Of course, I also want to perfect an art form, such as photography or painting or sketching...but these new goals are things that I really want to focus on. Art is kind of a hobby for me, like knitting. I focus on hobbies all the time. I can/do always make time for them already. These goals are things that have not been a priority in my life the past couple of years/ever.
However, first things first! I have to get over this sickness, whatever it is before I can start doing some of the things on my list. I am pretty sure this disease is trying to kill me. At least, that is what it feels like. UGH! I gotta go take some medicine!
