I am doing so well!

For the first time EVER, I got out and shoveled the driveway before anyone drove on it! I know it's not much, but that's a big thing for me. I really have never done that, and I am always trying to scrape up the compressed snow tire tracks on my driveway. It was really a sore point with me. Of course I did make my 8 year old son help me this morning - but at least it got done!

This whole "getting my shit together" is working! I knew if I got mad enough and had clear objectives, I would be able to get things done. A really long time ago - just before I met my husband, when I moved up to Calgary I made a list of goals that I wanted to achieve. I met all of those goals because they were written down and very clear. The only one I didn't meet was to lose 25 lbs, instead I gained that and more. :( But I guess I can't have everything. The weight loss, however, has always been a goal. It's just one I haven't been able to achieve just yet.

That is my main goal this year and I already have so many things in place, so I think that one might just get done this year! I already go to the gym all the time, I run, I play soccer, I swim, I know what good food to eat and what to stay away from. I haven't always stuck to the eating well, but I am about to do something drastic on that end. I am going on the first ever (for me) diet. I don't diet, I think it's a bad idea. You have to make a lifestyle change, and I have, but I can't seem to stay away from the junk I guess. I really think that if I could get the weight off, I could keep it off. So drastic, and SHORT TERM, diet, here I come. I've never tried anything like this, and I've seen it work. So if it does for me too, I will blog all about that. You know how much I like to share.

On all other front's, I am doing very well. My "studio" is looking so nice, and just needs a bit more organizing. My daughter and I hung out in there last night and it was so cozy and comfortable! My appointments and the kid's appointments are being taken care of in a timely manner. I popped a crown off the other day and had it fixed the very next day! I feel so in control of things that can be controlled! The other stuff, well I just don't even worry about that!

So far I am on track for everything! It feels good. I really let a lot of things go, like my mind, for the last few years and I feel like I am back and able to take care of things again. I have an appointment with the sleep clinic next week, and I hope they can help me. I am double dosing on foot therapy, I have the finances in control, the house will be clean (mostly...lets not get out of control here!) today. I have even left time this afternoon for a nap if needed. It probably will be needed, I have a game tonight and I don't want to be sleepy for it.

That being said, I am going to go get some shit done!
