Blogs. Shmeh. It's been almost a year since my last post. Some things have changed dramatically. Some things, barely at all.  

The things that did not change:
I'm still overweight.
I'm still blessed with great friends and family.
I'm still angry about my ex shitting on his daughters.
I'm still employed (thank God) and still have a roof over my head.

The things that did change:
If I had to give a definite answer, I would say my health today is WORSE than it was a year ago. Joints hurt. Tendons hurt. I'm in the worst shape I have ever been in. But, maybe you have to hit bottom before you can start climbing back up. I am tired of hurting. Things will change in 2013. Even if I don't lose weight, I will be more physically fit.

I got a new car. Well, a new USED car. But low miles, recent model, loaded with goodies. I don't love having a car payment again, but I do love the secure feeling of having a newer car (I was getting nervous about taking roadtrips with 145,000 miles on my old car).

I got a new dog. Rescued a mutt named Maggie. She's a doll. She loves to snuggle.

Looking ahead:
2013 will be more challenging for me financially. I'm going to have to tighten my belt. Not too excited about that, but I'm still better off than alot of people. I am resolved to get to the gym more. I am resolved to get to church more. I am resolved to spend less time f'ing around on the computer (like right now, lol) and more time clearing crap out of my house. I am resolved to spend more time with my mom.

All of these are attainable goals. I like that I have written them down. Hopefully I can stay focused for the longer term.... my goal for next year's Jan. 2014 post is that I will have "won back" some of the things I lost in 2012. Happy NEW YEAR to me, and to you.
