Gathering back up my pieces, I am giving myself 100% to 21 days with Julia and life changing. I am convicted to complete 21 days. I am deteremined to complete 21 days. I will put for the effort to complete each of the 21 days. And I will show actions toward improving my health.
My Guidlines: I am on a mission; I am on a journey; NOT A diet!! I will have fun, and learn more about me. I will open up, really being honest with myself, learning about me.... and what makes me wonderful, special and worthwhile. I am living life with an God approved and God guided life. I am smiling and happy to be having the opportunity to improve my life and get healthy and fit. I will not base my value or usefullness by the numbers on the scale, I will not weigh in until I am told to. My success will be rated by the actions I've taken, not by the weight I've lost.
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams… Live the life you have imagined.

A New Beginning : Without History
Changing one's life begins in such a soft moment, not even a feather can compare. It is a little hint, notion, feeling that something big is coming - only after you begin.
I am ready to begin again. Change my health and my habits - to win the fit person that I have been dreaming of. Today I had a little extra inspiration - (blog below) - and my why start now? Just got HUGE!
a) I don't want to get to any heavier!!! I am already uncomfortable and hate to think of how I would feel with another 5lb, 10lb or 15lbs added on top of me.
b) I don't want to have health issues before I am 30!!! My 9health fair tests came back a bit scarey, high blood pressure, high pulse and high cholestrol - my little heart is working as hard as it can, and since I'll need that for another 80 years, I need to start now.
c) I want to wear my old (cute) and probably mostly outdated clothes that I have jammed onto the top shelf of my closet, once they started getting too tight. I want to wear those 10 pairs of cute jeans again! and many shirts that are just too short now.
d) I want to look good! ... NAKED! I don't - I want to - I WILL! After reading Ty's Blog (links below) I thought you know what - if that's the only reason that will get anyone to the gym, it's a good reason. And yes, no matter if you think it shallow or illgeared, I do want to look good naked and I do want to be presentable in a bathing suit without needing a tranquilizer to calm my overly selfconcious nerves! I want to flash people again!! and not worry about the tummy showing as well! hee hee (ok, so maybe that last one is slightly less hubby approved, oh well.)
Tomorrow: Setting up Goals
Tonight: Going to bed "on time".... good night!

I love that he's so open and honest about things - I want to be able to write and live an inspiring life for others! He says here to be ready to lose weight by yourself - ugh, I know, but I've been hoping that there is someone out there that would just make me do it - instead of me making me do it. Guess not, againg with those crazy decisions that we have to make before anything actually changes in our lives.
Decisions - should almost be a four letter word, besides look how well we do without deciding much of anything..... life just comes and goes and leaves us standing where we are.
Then again, maybe this isn't the way we were ment to live.... got any decisions to make?
I know I do! How do you make your decisions? flip a coin? eni mini miny moe?
