Can you think of a more stereotypical post right after New Years or what????
Anywho…
I’ve gotten to my breaking point with my weight. I’m just done with being so heavy. So, going forward, no excuses, I’m losing this weight. I’m looking forward to the springtime when we have the pool under control so I can swim to exercise, but for now I’m going to plan on walking the dog every night for at least ten minutes. I’ll start slow, make sure I can stick with it. And I’m going to watch calories… and just make sure that I don’t let myself get stressed out. I’m pretty sure that was a major contributor to getting me here in the first place.
You know what else I’m turning a new leaf on? My finances. Yep, I’m resolving to pay off those darn credit cards! With diligence, I think I can do it within the next two years. Between the tax refund and Bill’s GI bill coming in, and my side business I’m setting up as a part time photographer, more details to come at www.shadesofkatephotography.com, and my online store selling crocheted items like baby blankets and hats, also more details to come at katereiber.etsy.com, I think I can pull it off.
And, to make things just a little more all over the darn place, I’m trying to get a handle on what I really want to do in life, and, surprising though it may be, I don’t think its insurance. I know, ground breaking. I’ve always really wanted to teach and I think I’d like to get back on track with that once the credit cards are starting to become less of an albatross. Ideally in the short term at least I’d love to teach community college at night and keep the insurance biz as my daytime gig. But, it’s going to take more school, which I’m going to have to do at night and budget in tuition. So, yeah, that idea is more treading water than the weight loss and the credit cards… but at least I have a goal, right? Especially if Bill is thinking of staying local with the CHP (by the way, still wouldn’t mind input on that!) I think I need to start thinking local too.
