"There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind." - C.S. Lewis
Life has a funny way of deciding for you when it is time to start a new journey.
Have you ever caught a glimpse of yourself, just a fleeting glance in the mirror and not recognized the person that you saw? I have... and I did not like what I saw. I had gotten angry about something and had been yelling. I saw someone looking back at me that was tired, rude, sarcastic, gluttonous, and guilty. Now it's time to change that. Time to become the person that I am meant to be. The best me that I am for my friends, my family, my children, and myself.
How do I do that though? How do I change who I've been to become who I want to be? I think that we all live in our comfort bubbles where we are used to things. It's easier not to think and instead to just react. It's easier to grab the chips and sit down on the couch than it is put on sneakers and exercise. It's easier to look in the mirror and not like what you see than it is to change, but there comes a time when you are sick of taking the easy way out. Time to pop the bubble and be BRAVE!
I'm going to spend the next 21 days holding myself accountable for my behavior. This includes watching what I eat, spending time exercises, less time sitting and watching tv, and more time interacting with my family. This is where I'm going to do it. I'm going to blog my meals, my exercise, and other random thoughts and feelings here. Hopefully in 21 days the girl looking back in the mirror will look a little bit more like the one that I want to see!
