New Year, New You...right?!

Yes, it's been over two years since I've typed anything on here. And what a two years it has been. Ever feel like time has flown by and you have no recollection of any of it? That's kind of how I feel. Since October 2011, I've moved cities, learned from all kinds of relationships, bought a house and just tried to hang on for the ride of life. This post might get lengthy, so bear with me.

So, it's 2014. Hang on....2014?!? Well, anyway, this whole new year thing has gotten me thinking...what do I want to accomplish...I mean, REALLY accomplish? For some it's success in their careers, others it's growing together more with their spouse and their children; for me, it's improving the good ole standby: weight and health. Ugh. Yes, it's BACK on my resolution list....again.  But this time, to hopefully be removed for good. How many people, along with me, have said that? It's no wonder why it's been defeating me. Life happens everyday, every hour, every minute. It has taken me a long time to learn that changes do not happen over night. I've heard the saying and you probably have to "it's taken time for you to gain the weight, it's gonna take time to get it off!" Have you ever stopped to think about what happens during the time in between saying "I'm gonna do this!" to "I've done it!!"?

This blog is hopefully going to be a source of inspiration for you along with accountability for me too. I want to tap into the time in between. The ups, the downs, the accomplishments and triumphs and the unsuccessful flat out fails that we will ALL encounter during this in between thing. Life will never slow down unless you're dead, so we might as well get real about things.

Here's to the New YOU!
