Shifting gears...

Oh, man. I'm back at the office and it's like the twilight zone. I'm having a hard time remembering how to do the things that I do all the time. I'm awake but things are quite foggy in my head today. I'm hoping that the fog will clear soon.

This is the first year that my top New Year's goal is not to lose weight. I'm definitely not skinny by any means but for the first time in my life, I'm really comfortable in my own skin. (Most of the time anyway.) I'm active and I'm trying to eat the right things. I think being active goes a long way in making me feel good. Now, that said...I do want to stay active and make healthier choices this year. But as for losing weight...if it happens, then that's great. But if it doesn't, I'm fine.

One thing that I want to do this year is to take better care of myself and increase the "chic" factor. I just want to look better and feel better about the way I look. I'm 36 and I want to look young and healthy. I want to look put together and classy without spending a load of money. This is my goal for the new year.

Another New Year's goal is to save money. I bet Mike $100 that I'd save $1,200 by December. That's $100 a month. I know it's totally possible but I've just never budgeted my money. I have the tendency to buy whatever I want at the grocery store...or buy whatever I want on a whim. This year I will live within my means...this year I will not live like there's an unlimited flow of money.

This year I also want to clear out and get organized. I spent all day yesterday cleaning out my bathroom closets. I organized a lot but my goal is to get rid of everything that I don't absolutely love or use regularly. I found yesterday (okay...really I knew it already but it was shoved in my face yesterday) that I have a bad habit of buying more because I can't find it. That has got to stop.

I don't have a clue as to how I'm going to achieve these goals so I'll probably use my blog as a sounding board to figure it out. I hope the fact that I'm the world's worst blogger will not deter yall from reading. I will try to do better. I promise.

Again, I hope yall had a great holiday! Here's to the New Year!!!
