So the last few months at the end of 2014 was rough. I was in a relationship for the past six and a half years and we broke up. At first I thought I was okay, but as time passed, I really wasn't. I was hurt and sad, and finally processing my emotions. There was still a part of me that was hoping we would get back together. So needless to say, the holidays this time of year were rough for me. It was the first time in seven years I felt like I was alone. Midnight on New Years Eve I was ready to cry. However, I then realized that 2015 was a new year. I saw a quote online that said, "Today is page 1 of your 365 page book." That made me realize that I needed to get my stuff together and that there will be no more pity party.
On Day 1 on 2015, my mom and I decided to climb to the top of Stone Mountain. It was a mile hike up the mountain. Since I had been working out these past few months, I really thought that one mile would be no big deal. Boy was I wrong! It was hard and challenging, but we made it. And the view from the top was breath-taking. Here are a few pictures that I took on our way up the mountain yesterday:
That was the pretty much the extent of day 1. Today I decided that I want to attempt to keep a written record of my 365 page book. My goal is that I will update this daily. I plan to try to update different things going on in my life and also hold myself accountable. One of my main goals this year is to really get myself in shape. I want to write daily what I did to workout and also what I eat. I figure if I have to write somewhere what I eat daily, then I will be less likely to eat all the crap that it is so easy for me to eat.
I will end today with a quote. "Bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other." - Abraham Lincoln
