Need a change

As we complete the first half of the year, I am becoming more aware of the changes I want to do in my life but not have done anything to get started. I want to try to find a routine that will work with everyone as well as myself since I am looking at going back to school in September.

My main goal is to try to get my health on track. I've been eating fast food more often and drinking more of my Dr. Pepper than water and I know that will be a bad habit for Kolton to pick up. We did start walking a few weeks ago for almost the entire week but then the overtime kicked in and I stopped doing it. I need to get back into it as I know that was what was helping me maintain and start to lose a little more weight. I want to be more of the woman I think of trying to be instead of the woman that basically everyone has pictured. I do want to do a slight change so maybe I'll be able to have more confidence in myself.

We have paid off some debt last month and hopefully the rest of the year just gets better. We need to be able to set some $ aside for college and emergencies. This way we can start teaching Kolton the importance of budgeting money and hopefully not make too many mistakes that we have made in the past.

I am hoping as I am putting this down that I decide that I really need to get what all I hope to change get started. I wouldn't know if it will actually help me and work unless I actually try it. I think I have picked up some habits my grandmother has done and that is be there for everyone else first before yourself and I know that is what I really shouldn't do. I know I need to be there for my family but I also need to take care of myself first. If I can't, then I will not be able to help others who do need me and depend on me.

Well heading to bed as tomorrow will mark day 1 of change, hopefully......
