December 31, 2006 - Sunday, 11:31 a.m. I accomplished a lot this past year, but still, there is so much more I want to accomplish. I became truly conscience of the state of my finances, and have made very decisive choices there. I am on the road out of this state. It�ll be slow and painful, but I expect to succeed. I finished up my MBA and became aware of just how hard I am going to have to look for something better, and the fact that I need to WANT this to change. That has been the struggle. We think we figured out the cause for my high blood pressure and I�m scheduled to take care of that in January. Also, in the last year I gained about 25 lbs. GAH!!! After three years of not moving at all, this is quite a jolt. There are changes that I need to make in the year to come to fix this. One thing is I am going to need to eat fewer sweets, and stop grazing all day long. Shortly after the surgery I found that I couldn�t get enough to eat if I just ate three times a day, and took up the habit of grazing. Now I graze far too often and too late into the evening. I think with just a couple of simple changes I can take care of this gain. (1) Nothing to eat after 8 pm (2) 4 small meals per day (3) Stop buying sweets for around the house and (4) Find a way to move at least 5 days a week (I need to start walking). Personal Habits that need to change � Keeping up on the laundry, Straightening up the house more often, arriving at work by 8 am every day. (As I look to making a job changes or possibly taking on another job, I need to make my work hours more regular.) Remembering to pray and read from the writings every day. I have actually gotten to the point were I am very content with not having a romantic relationship of any sort in my life. I make all the decisions about my life, when, where, how. It is nice to be �the boss� of my own life. The sun is shining today. There is still quite a bit of snow on the ground, but the streets are pretty clear. I have a little bit more to do, to get my house straightened up. I paid bills this morning, and got my finances into MS Money. I need to get out and pick up my gift for Lee. Her birthday is just after midnight today, and as per usual I�ll spend my New Year�s Eve with her. I�d like to spend some time at Mom and Dad�s tomorrow, but I am not sure what all will come up. Happy New Year� M. |
