Lofty Goals

After all this time of not posting I am making a personal vow to actually start doing this once a week if not more! (This is where my title comes into play). So with my birthday day fast approaching and the wedding now less than a year away, I've decided I'm going to play the part of a grown up for a while and set some goals for myself with the promise of actually accomplishing them. I've definitely done this before, I set goals for myself and then after about two weeks kind of fall off the wagon. I am also a notoriously stubborn person so I'm going to let that person come out to play and stick to my guns. Okay ready here are the goals I intend on accomplishing: 

     Lose at least 15 pounds (or more but starting small) by August. I think that is extremely reasonable to lose that over the course of 8 weeks. I am hoping that I will continue to lose if needed and tone up over the course of the remaining 9 months  until the wedding.

     Go back to school and finally decide what I want to be when I grow up! My heart lies with being a psychologist at the VA hospital for our returning vets. PTSD is such a huge and very silent and unspoken disease among those currently serving and veterans. It is something I feel exceptionally passionate about and really want to pursue that dream. I am going to over the course of the next month look into what I need to do to make this happen. 

     So right now those are my 3 lofty long term goals for myself. I really plan to stick to this for myself and I'm quite sure that I will be writing blogs bitching and complaining about the wedding, weight loss, and going back to school. In the end I know I will be happy and feel accomplished and be much more proud of myself then I do right now. 

Let's keep fingers crossed and prayers said that I can and will have the stubbornness to pull this off. Knowing I want to look amazing when I walk down the isle and that I want Jim to look at me and think I'm the most beautiful woman he's ever seen should help!! 

Cheers!!! xoxo
