New Year

Today is my Birthday.  Happy Birthday to me!  It's been a good day so far.  This morning Blueberry gave me a card she had made.  My work peeps made treats and brought them in, complete with a cake, candles and the Happy Birthday song.  Tonight Blueberry and I are going on a dinner date before softball and then we will eat the cake that she decorated for me. 

I decided this year that my birthday is the start of my new year and it needs to be the start of a new me as well.  Last week at work we did a health assessment as part of our health insurance incentive.  I weigh more at this point in my life than I ever have, (except when I was pregnant).  I am just barely out of the healthy range for my body type.  I'm tired most of the time.  No energy.  It's time I get back on the eating right, exercising band wagon.  I've done good this week.  Exercised every day.  Been eating healthy.  However, tonight it is my birthday and I'm going out for Mexican food.  If you can't splurge a little on your birthday, what good is having a birthday?

I've also been realizing that my mind often goes to the negative.  I'm in a newish relationship and I find myself, so often, holding my breath waiting for it all to come to a screeching halt.  Even though SV (boyfriend) is amazing and hasn't given me any reason to doubt him or think that this isn't what he wants too.  He lives four hours away which is hard at times.  We are both busy, the distance is obviously a factor and it is hard sometimes but when we are together everything just fits and I feel like I can exhale and relax.  I just need to learn to do that more when are not together!

I know there is a lot to update on and that is one of my new year/new me goals.  To be more consistent with my blog.  I miss writing!

So..... Cheers and Happy New Year!!
