Making some changes

I am sure everyone that has been following this blog has wondered... what happened to the 30 day project she was doing and where has she been???

Well I have decided to take a much needed break from things that were calling me in every direction and focus on me.

I am taking a month off from school to get me back. I have been so focused on determined on making everyone else happy and taking care of them that I had let myself slip away. The best way to be a better me is to do just take take care of me first and foremost.

I have made and will be making some major changes in life. I have not been happy with myself in a very long in many directions. I am setting out to change my ways.

I booked and paid for professional family photos to be take Fathers Day Weekend somewhere on location down in San Diego. I just have to figure out where to have them done. By doing this I want to drop 30 lbs by the time photos are taken. This give me 3 1/2 months to do so. It is not an unrealistic goal just one that I have to keep busy and keep my mind determined to move with it.

So please anyone and everyone please ask me how I am doing. I want to be held accountable so I will keep on track and not chicken out and cancel and just give up like I normally do.
