Happy to the New Year!

Well, it is the 2nd of the year 2010!! I am having one of those blah days. The kind of day where you just want to go curl up in bed and not get out until MOnday. LOL I rarely have these days either so it is VERY difficult for me. I'm thinking of my plan of attack for this day. I have to have a plan or else I will just sit on the computer like I did all day yesterday and not get anything done (like I didn't yesterday).

I was thinking of taking something back to the store, and then using the money (it was a Christmas present) to go on a date with myself to see New Moon!! Any friends I have that want to see this, live far enough away that it isn't totally worth it to spend money to drive there and then money to see the film. I love my friends, but I am not too wealthy myself at the moment. While going to a flick kinda isn't that thrilling to me, it might be fun. Hey, if you can't be happy by yourself and with yourself, how can you expect anyone else to be? So, those are my plans thus far. Oh, and getting to the gym today HAS to happen.

I realized something the other day when I started out on this journey. Troy (my bf) had always said it would be like a switch for me. I have been talking about getting in shape and taking care of myself for YEARS, but only until this week, did I finally have a lightbulb explode in my head, and now I just want to do it. I really acutally want to go to the gym. More than anything though, I kinda want to prove to myself that I can do this huge thing.. I will ride Ragbrai in 2011, I will be an athlete (at least in my definintion of one), and I will be accomplish what I and probably others didn't believe I would be able to do. It just makes me excited to do it! So, all this said, Troy was exactly right.. a switch was flicked in my heart and head, and I am doing this! NOt only that, but I have a cause.. I want to bring awareness of this disease to people and hope to do so within this year. More on that to come...

Smile, it's the beginning of something great! :)
