Resolutions

As it is the start of a new year, it is the time to start actually making this chapter of my life better than I have been.

I need to take better care of myself, take more pride in how I look on a daily basis, even if I am not going out anywhere. Doing simple things like using a nice smelling lotion, painting my nails, getting my hair cut more regularly should help.  I especially need to lose some weight so I am not so self conscious of my middle. However, my complete refusal to do gym exercise kinda hurts that plan, but I want to lose weight by making smarter choices in what I eat. As I have issues with my blood sugar dropping, I need to find healthy foods that will help hold me until the next snack. Snacks need to be sensible choices, high in nutrition. I know my new schedule where I can come home midday will help as when I am home I tend not to eat as much. One place I will start is ordering skim milk in my coffee, I have switched to 2% at home.

Another area I need to improve is my finances. My new job (possibly jobs) still leave me short on what I was making before. There is an online advisor free through one of my banks that I will fill out and have to use. I need to be able to build savings as well as I am now without health insurance. My credit cards need to be gone, yet again. I really just can't have a credit card because I will get into a funk where I think spending money will make me feel better, when it is just a temporary fix. I will be couponing even harder to make up the difference, so I am still a contributing member of the household, and keeping a good log of my savings.

I need to appreciate all I have a lot more than I do. I am always depressed and I have no reason to be. I have everything I could want. I need to remember that.

Here's to 2012 being a success and me getting back on track.
