New Year, New me

Most people at the start of a new year make resolutions.   In the past I have resolved NOT top make resolutions.   Like most people I don't stick to them.   But the lady couple of weeks since the start of 2014 I have done a lot of thinking about it.   I realized that my home life has revolved around my family, my kids and my parents.   This year I want to make it about me.   What I need to do to be happier and healthier.   I want to reread books to get me in that path, specifically the celestine prophecy and the secret.  Both books are so profound and have taught me a lot in the past.   Now that I'm forty and my kids are older and for the most part stable I think it's time.   I have narrowed my resolutions down to 3 (apart from rereading the books) 1) make an earnest effort to lose this weight.   I want to feel good inside and out.  2) I want to start dating again.   It's been 4 years since I've dated and it's time to get back on that horse.  3) I would like to quite smoking.   My kids need me to be around and they need to see that they can have a life without cigarettes.   These are all very hard for me to do but I KNOW that I can.   This is a project I have to finish.   I want to feel better inside and out.   My self confidence level is better than its ever been now I just need to use it to better myself.  Being that I have ADHD (inattentive type) finishing projects is not my strong suit bit I do know how to count calories and I'm switching to and electronic cig to start.   The dating thing I think will honestly be the toughest part but I think that will come in time.   Here's to 2014!  It's going to be a great year!
