The first day of the new year is cold and bitter... the wind seems to carry a sense of anxiety and sadness. Only 14 hours into this new era of time and I can't help but notice the resemblance to that of years past. The one's of wars and economic problems... allseems lost for this infant year already!
But what do I know, there's still 364 days left!
Joking aside, I am extremely excited about this year... what excites me most is that, though the world itself may continue on it's destructive path and this year may hold the exact same issues and problems for society as it has every year, this year is different for ME! Just 19 days away now from moving to the West Coast, and I can't even begin to imagine the life that awaits me there. And then knowing my sister is moving to Chicago with her fiance, and the knowledge that with that move (with my brother and sister in law already in North Carolina) that our family structure changes. Sad? In a way, it's never easy to change something that was so familiar and comfortable... and dare I say it, practically perfect. But it's great because now instead of growing up as a family, we get to watch each other grow families! (The key to this statement is basically family becoming plural)
I know my parents are already having a tough time with having a true empty nest in their coming future, as opposed to the time share system we adopted once we all left for college. But it brings even greater joy to them in a way only a parent could understand... knowing that all you've worked for over the years as come to be and knowing that however scary the world may be, your children are not afraid to face it.
So it's tough to say goodbye to what has been for so long... but it's nice to know it's not going away, just becoming something newer and stronger.
On top of the big moves, there's also the graduations happening both my sister and future brother in law, and for Sarah her two sisters (one from college, one from high school!). And then to top it all off, my sister's wedding! The year holds so many planned things... just imagine the unplanned events that will happen!
With all of that being the case... it can't distract me from my ultimate goal of being a super sexy hunk. Today begins what will be a hard journey to get into physical shape and dietary health!
I'm locked and ready to go with watching what I eat, cutting out the foods that will harm my plan, exercising everyday, and getting into a real person/grown up routine... sleep regular hours, take care of myself.... basically become independent.
I've done the calculations, this way I have comparison throughout the year to see how my progress is coming.
This is my current stats:
which according to this site (scientificpsychic.com/fitness)
I am literally on the border line between normal and obese.
So that's good to know.
I'm also going to get a physical soon and will get blood work done too... this way I'm aware of the other aspects of my body I need to watch or be aware of. When I find out anything (if I find out anything) I'll be sure to record it so I can keep track of things.
Well I'm off to begin the exercise part of my day... yippie.
