Calling myself into conference

I was home by myself last night. Brooke was at her boyfriend's and I was home with Cappie and Punk. I watched Dancing with the Stars, then the night was empty. It gave me a lot of time to think. Normally, I keep myself busy so I don't have to think too much. But, last night I had a little conference with myself to set some short term goals.

1. Finances - Brooke has informed me that she wants to move. So, I look at this as an opportunity to set up to the plate and buckle down and actually live by a budget. I feel that I am progressing from where I once was, but there is still room for improvement. I have decided that I must be more aggressive about making sales calls. Comfort can be so crippling at times, and I don't want to be guilty of being comfortable.

2. Fitness - Over the last three years, I have gone from 192 pounds down to 170. Sure that is great, but I know that I am not at my healthiest weight. I want to be at 165. I know this doesn't sound like a lot, but I have hit that plateau at 170. So, I have decided to take up walking. I am going to start walking (very briskly) Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings. I haven't adjusted any physical activities..no pain no gain (not literally...not wanting to gain...just lose)

3. Family - I am learning that, even though we have the same blood running through our veins, we can be completely different. And, that's ok. We all have differences that help build up the family. I guess I am having to change my way of thinking on somethings.

Well, I hope everyone has a fantastic day. It is raining here in Celina, but that won't stop it from being a great day.
