To-Do list

Ok so I'm taking on Chalene Johnson's 30 day challenge to be more organized and part of it is making to-do lists and plans for each day. So I thought I would start out by making a detailed to-do list for my days.

There I feel so much better when I do this because this shows me that I actually have time to do stuff and if I stick to this then I won't feel so rushed! It's always better to have a plan in mind!

New Year...Completely New Me

I usually hate this saying because I think that you shouldn't have to wait for a new year to adjust who you are if it isn't who you want to me. Well I didn't get a choice in the 'new me' aspect. My fiance and boyfriend for the past two years of my life decided he just wasn't happy anymore last night and decided to end our relationship. I had a lot planned for the wedding, our kids grew up calling the other mom or dad, he was extremely close to my family. I love him to this day and I know he loves me too. We live together and share some finances so its almost like being married so this feels like a divorce! Well my goals and resolutions have a little bit of a change in them now. I still want the best for my kid, him, and me. But I don't have as much influence on that middle one anymore. Luckily I have the support of friends and family to get me through this. I want to be healthier in 2011. I want to watch what I eat, drink, and exercise. I'm going to swear off pop. I know it may seem extreme but I gain the most weight when I drink soda. I'm also going to make sure I get in exercise everyday even if its just playing with my daughter. Next I want to be in a better financial situation. This will be hard at first because I will have to pay for my own apartment and bills now with out much help except from family. But by this time next year I will be a nurse and I will be where I need to be. I also want to do a lot of personal development in 2011. I am starting a challange and I'm starting CarSmart and personal development books. MY school goals include atleast a B in my Med-Surg class and an A in my Research class. I want to focus on studying on peds outside of my regular schooling as well. I know this is a lot but I will make it. Erik and I are still going to be friends as well and I plan to support him on all that he does. Well thats it...my new list for 2011
