This morning I woke up exhausted, like always. Of course the first thing on my mind was that I needed to get to the gas station to pick up my Rockstar energy drink. The kids needed lunches, but I realized that once again my laziness had caused me not to go to the store for anything other than soda and donuts the day before. I decided that I would grab something for them when I went to get my drink, and so they were once again stuck with a lunch-able for their nutritious lunch. Around 9 o'clock I have the baby sitting in front of the television while I am at my usual place in front of the computer looking at other people's lives through Facebook. That is when I came across a post written by a friend of a friend named Bridgette Linford. Seeing her before pictures and reading about how she went clothes shopping only to find that she didn't fit anything caught my attention. However, it was the pictures of the three shirts she always wore that struck my heart. Just like Bridgette, I have been stuck in the same cycle of clothes for years now. I always walk in to stores determined to find something cute to wear, only to leave empty handed (or with workout clothes) because I hated how I looked or nothing fit. My sisters always look so cute and one of them only shops at Goodwill. I could spend a small fortune on clothes and still just look like the traditional image of a frumpy mom.
So, today is the day. Today is the day I stop telling myself I can't do it. Today is the day I stop making excuses. Today is the day I take my life back.
I will get my body into the best condition I can, and I will start living life instead of watching it pass by. I will find my self confidence and start making friends again. I will DO THIS!
