KEEP CALM
As this football season is coming to a slow end (something I am not looking forward to) I've been very active with all my college football and pro football talks and whatnot. Even though my poor Ags have had a very disappointing season my Green Bay Packers have not. At 11-0, they're the only undefeated team left in the NFL and the 2nd team in NFL history to start 11-0 as defending Super Bowl champions. With that being said, I have created this:

Slowly But Surely
I've been saying that for a longgg time now. It's been slowly and it's been surely and now it's time to be completely done. We don't need to talk about the horrendous year I just endured because it's dead to me now. Instead, I'd like to give hope to my new 2011. The next year will be a lot different for me, I don't have anyone I need to constantly impress anymore. Which is nice, that takes a huge weight off of my shoulders. For the last however many years I've been making "resolutions" to my "weight problem". I tell myself every New Years, I'm going to do this and I'm going to do that, but by the time Valentine's Day comes (damn you chocolate) all of that is down the drain. In years past, I wasn't really serious about losing weight and I know it's so cliche to say that is my resolution. But, here I am. Single. Free. and a strong-willed WOMAN. It's about time that I act like one and take responsibility.
I'm not sure how I'm going to go about this losing weight. Especially in the food department. I'm not a very good or healthy eater. I'm not picky, I just know what I like. Then there's the portion control, now listen. I'm a southern girl from Texas and trust me friends, I can throw back some food. Especially, bar-b-que. However, this year that will also come to stop and well as my horrible fast food addiction. I'm always on the run, living out of my car and fast food is just easy. Yes, I know there is always Subway (sometimes I wish they had a drive-thru) <-I know.
Next, is the worst of them all. Exercise. As much as I enjoy the after feel of exercise, the beginning and the middle are the worst. A couple of months ago I picked up running, bet you'd never hear those words come out of my mouth huh? It's true though. I remember playing soccer as a kid and doing lots and lots and lots of running. I was a goalie, why did I have to run too? Well even in those days, I hated running. I've semi-enjoyed the runs I've taken around our neighborhood, hoping not to "run into" anyone I know. That's what happens when you live in the same town all your life and hate half the people that live there. Anyway, running. It seems to be a good way to exercise but I need something else. Two years ago my mom and I joined Curves. That's what I'm thinking about picking back up. I remember how good I felt and the subtle compliments I got from people noticing my changes. However, Mom and I got a little sidetracked because we were moving and the closest Curves was 15 minutes the opposite direction of everything. Something to think about. I like routine and I like that I can go there and not feel insecure about myself like I did when we were members at Gold's Gym.
All in all, I've decided that 2011 WILL BE my year and I WILL NOT let anyone rain on my parade.
"As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle, be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace." Ephesians 4:1-3
