A Year of Transformation-2009


Happy New Year Everyone! This will be an exceptional year for growth, and will be my year of personal transformation. Life seems to float by, day by day, and one notices the years passing quickly. All of a sudden, I thought to myself, do I want this to be my life? Limited by my own mindless choices? Fairly dull, routine, boring even to me. No way. It's time to get real, get busy living my life. You either live your life or life lives you. I plan to live my life. No more excuses!

So, on January 1st, I made a promise to myself, to eat foods that are healthy for me, so that I can lose a substantial amount of weight and have knee surgery in the late fall, and also to go on a cash only basis for personal spending. Today it is day 8, and so far so good! I am resolute, there is no turning back now. I am starting a lifestyle makeover group this Saturday called Transformations in Progress. Keep tuning in to watch us bloom!
