We grow neither better nor worse as we get old, but more like ourselves

I was a cute child....The one in the front not the one with the gloworm lol That's my sister though so enjoy that.

It's interesting how much we change in life, I've gone through so many transitions in life. I've gone through so many different phases of me. Now I'm off to start a new one.

Once upon a time I was a size six. When I was 17 almost 18. Right now I'm a size 12. My last relationship ruined me. I ate bad, I was seditary and it caused me to gain a lot and I never really have been able to get it off. I started a diet two days ago, a pseudo atkin's/south beach thing, today Daniel and I went for a run and it was awesome. I want so many things to happen. I don't really want to make resolutions for the new year but there are some things I would like to accomplish.

One
I would like to get back down to at least a 6 possibly a 4 if I can but 6 at least, I'd like to be down to an 8 by Daniel's Birthday.

Two
I want to have a steady job soon that I enjoy and will stick with, this may be accomplished by working at the Prison with Daniel.

Three
I want to read one book this year, at least the book my sister gave me for Christmas.

That's it. Really all I want is to get my body back into shape and to be in good health.

See that? That was me, once upon a time. Look at that stomach! Yeesh...Those arms too. I look great.

Now look at me....What the hell happened...BLAH. I look so different! Anyway, I will be changing this. I will look more like that top photo no matter what it takes. If I have to go down the atkins road again and eat salad three times a day then I will.

Tomorrow should be a pretty scary day, if it occurs I'll post about it.

My boyfriend, for those of you who don't know, has been Married before, and he has a son. We didn't have a chance to get him Christmas presents on time so I've been wrapping presents like CRAZY this week so that we can get them to him. We got him a lot and I hope he enjoys it all.

There isn't a whole lot else going on right now. I'm feeling weird right now and I think I need to just relax for the rest of the night and then get some rest, lots to do tomorrow.
