And away we go!

Normally I am not one for New Year's Resolutions. I usually make them far too lofty and end up abandoning them about a week into the new year.
But this year is different. This year, I can feel it throughout my body that I need to make a few changes to my lifestyle. At the moment, I am highly stressed, poorly nourished and a little to saturated with wine for my liking. I have bouts of motivation to get myself to the gym, but not with any real consistency.
This year, I am going to go ahead and dive full-force into a New Year's Resolution. The goal is both simple and lofty at the same time. By this time next year, I want to be healthier than I am today.
This may seem simple to some, and lofty to others. To me, it will be both. I want to be proud of the year I'm about to embark upon by the end of it. I want to have more energy. I want to be less stressed. I want to yell at my kids less (or even better, not at all, but we'll see if that's realistic!). I want to kiss my belly flab goodbye. I want to sleep better. I want to eat better. I want to be me, but better.
So away we go. This begins my journey!
