Just another idea/project/thing that I will fail miserably at finishing So, just like the title says, I'm sure as I'm not getting any younger, I will most likely fail to complete the task I am about to set forth for myself, but you know the next 365 days could really put a spin on my life. There are a lot of people who get to age 30 and it doesn't even affect them. I however, am feeling the fast sprint toward that end line like the black plague on Europe. I don't want it. I don't like where I'm at. Its disheartening and remarkably depressing to discover where you are and to find that its not at ALL the place you wanted to be. So, I'm taking stock. I had already decided this year that I would stop breaking promises with myself. If you can't keep your word to yourself, then who CAN you keep your word to? Basically, at the beginning of 2011 I made a promise to myself that if I lost 30 lbs I would then get my hair cut. Well, that definitely did NOT happen. I was unwilling to change many different areas of my life and so I failed. However, I did not break the promise. My hair is still growing.
Hi, my name is Kristi, I am seriously overweight and I have some seriously large issues. My new brilliant idea, which we all agree isn't brilliant because I will probably give up after about 2 days. UGH I really do hate that about myself. I never finish anything. Anyhow, not only am I overweight, but I have many other things I'd like to change about myself. I'm very unhealthy. I have attitude issues, I get depressed easily and well, this is it. I turned 29 years old today. December 11, 2011. I have 365 days to change my life before I turn the dreaded 3 OH. So here and now I'd like to challenge myself to change my life. This time next year, I'd like to have met the goals set forth below. I'm writing them out and perhaps when I look back in 365 days, maybe it wont be as bad as I think. So, I'm going to challenge myself to do quite a few things. Even if the dreams aren't accomplished then I want that documented as well. Here are the challenges: To write on this blog every single day over the next 365 days. Even if its just a "hello, I ate ham sandwiches today." It will be a very interesting thing to read my life in retrospect. So that is my challenge. The other challenges are more dares and desires. They are my hopes and dreams for before I turned 30. Everyone knows what bucket list is, this is my 3 OH list. I'm sure I'll keep adding more as the days go on.
1. Lose at lease 30 lbs
2. Cut back to 1 Mt Dew/day.
3. Visit and stand in the Ocean, preferably somewhere in California
4. Take better care of my body. Put on lotion every day, start caring what I look like again.
5. Get the house completely ready for the possibility of remodel. Try to be more neat. Make the house presentable. Try to be more like Mom.
6. ...and so many more.
I really want to try this. I turned 29 today, and no, it is NOT the end of the world, but it is the end of the Kristi Lynn of today. Starting now, starting this minute I want things to change. I know that it is NOT going to happen overnight. I know that I'm one of the most stubborn mule-headed people there is, but I cant keep going like this. I HAVE to make a change. I'm hoping by making this change as part of my birthday and the thought of turning 30 instead of as a new year's resolution, that I might not fail as quickly.
Kristi Lynn, Be strong, Be wise. Be OK. You need to do something to change your life. You cant keep going on like you are. Wyatt is 7 years old and you cant even walk down the street with him. You're grouchy all the time and it isnt supposed to be like this. Little steps, in the right direction, are still steps. Let's give this a whirl because God knows we've tried everything else. So far, you've held yourself accountable. Its time to keep it up. Change your life, Change it and see what happens over the next 365 days.
Something's got to give.
With Love,
Kristi Lynn
