Today is the first real day of my blog! I plan to use the blog as a journal to help me see how things are improving (or where they need to improve). I am so disorganized and since graduating high school this disorganization has made it hard for me to realize my goals and to be happy. I mentioned in my previous post that the major things I need to do are to lose weight (50 pounds at least), get a job, and spend more time with family. I plan to post some on my weight loss journey and some on my family and some on my life in general. I feel like this will make me accountable. I am like so many good ole southern women in the way that I put a smile on my face and think of everyone elses needs. I have to start being real with the situation: I am overweight, have high blood pressure, hate that my house is disorganized, hate that assignments sneak up on me, hate that I don't have a part time job, hate that I lack motivation to correct these things. The good news is all of those things can be at least improved if not corrected completely. I can't promise that any of it will be changed. I mean, you have no idea how many times I have gotten all excited about trying to live a better life. Lists and calendars and alarm clocks don't seem to help me get organized. We'll just have to wait and see!
