A New Day!!

I haven't written in quite awhile because I haven't been following NS at all. I just stopped fighting the tide and went with the flow in my household for the last month or so and it isn't paying off. I am back at 284 which is the same place I left off so its time to get back at it. I joined the 100day challenge(Thank you Sheryl) which starts on the 4th. I have decided to start tomorrow just to get myself built up and back on the right track by Wednesday.
My little girl is turning 2 on the 5th!! Yippy Amy! I need to be healthy for her. She is copy-catting me in everything we do...right down to saying her knees hurt when she gets up from playing on the floor!!! The first time she said it I felt like crawling in a hole. Now I have noticed that everytime I have something not so healthy she wants it too! I won't let my little girl fight this battle her whole life like I did. My parents taught me to use food like they do and I am teaching her the same thing and it stops today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have 2 weeks to get back on plan before school starts. The day school starts I start a water aerobics class too! I bought a swimsuit and also a new pair of sneakers for the gym/weightroom. I have scheduled my classes so that I have enough time between them to take full advantage of the gym THAT I CAN USE FOR FREE as a student! I went a few times last semester and met with a trainer but my mind wasn't on it. MY MIND HAS TO BE ON IT OR I WILL DIE never seeing my little girl grow up. My blood pressure has been through the roof lately. Headaches everytime you bend over is not a good thing! I have too much that I want to do before I die to deal with this crap! No more excuses....I am tired of being fat. Here is my list of reasons so that I can come back and remind myself from time to time:
** I want to be here to see my little angel get married and have grand children.
** I want to be able to play and run with her for more than a few minutes at a time.
** I want to be healthy so I feel good about myself again
** I want to break the cycle of bad habits that I inherited
** I want to be able to run again(only way I can get a new knee is if I lose alot of weight)
** I'd like to be able to ride a bike again
** And last but not least---I'd like to wear a bathingsuit in public without a mumu covering it!!!!!!!!! LOL

I also have some resolutions for the new year that need to be addressed to:
1. unclutter my office
2. organize my house and life to make life easier
3. make a schedule and stick to it
4. go grocery shopping and only buy what is on my list
5. Lose at least 100 lbs during 2006
6. stick to the 100 day challenge
7. Learn how to add my blog to my profile and revamp my blog
8. Stop shopping on line so much and stick to a budget so that we can pay off all our bills by the end of 2006.
9. Start making weekly payments to our savings
10. keep up putting things in my daily calendar
11. Blog at least every other day

I guess this enough for one post! I have a lot to do in 2006 but the time has come for no more games! No more excuses!!! No more bullshit!!! I deserve better than what I have been settling for!!!!!!!!
