Welcome to 2015! Much like 2006, this is going to be my year of change.
Just to give you some perspective - in 2006, I lost 47 lbs, started wearing contact lenses (abandoned the hideous spectacles that made me look like a female Urkle) and became assertive.
This year, I plan to change - physically, financially and professionally. Why? Because it's time. I'm stuck in a philosophical quicksand a.k.a proverbial RUT.
Physically: I'm 48 lbs overweight. Most of it, I gained unceremoniously post marriage (since 2010). My husband has managed to become 20 lbs lighter and fit over the last 4 years. I, however, seem to have consumed and doubled the pounds he discarded. At 35, that's a step away from my health committing suicide, as per my beloved spouse.
Financially: I've incurred some necessary debt. We have a mortgage (we need to find a larger house with a basement & private garage in Toronto) and I had to succumb to purchasing a new car (Nyx). Brutus (my old Toyota Echo) tried to kill me on the 401 in July last year, hence the necessity.
Professionally: I'm a Purchasing Professional for one of the largest builders in Southern Ontario. I'd like to think that my work environment is stable but one can never be too sure in these uncertain times. I want a professional license to increase my net worth.
As I said, a year of change. How do I plan to do this? I'm not sure yet. The weight loss part is easy. The other 2 are remarkably more difficult. Any suggestions are welcome! In the meantime, I need to purge my kitchen of sinful delights and tighten my purse strings.
For anyone reading me rambling - Happy 2015! May your new year be filled with health, wealth, bountiful happiness and success in all your goals.
