Well, after a year and a half of griping, moaning, complaining, eating, and crying... I'm finally at peace with my "new life" in Houston. Gosh, that sucks to type "out loud." But at least I'm finally admitting to it. I never in my life thought moving here would have been so hard (both emotionally and physically). I have battled just about every single inner demon I could have possibly had over the last couple of years, and I'm finally getting back on track. I already had the career... now my life is finally coming together.

Oh, did I tell ya I finally stopped my soda addiction? YES, it's true! I finally kicked that nasty 6-pop a day habit! And damn, was it hard. Haha... stop laughing at me. It really was hard to do! I started about 3 weeks ago after my family left. I cut down the first week from 6 down to 2 a day. The week after that, I cut down to one a day. Finally, last week, I drank my last soda for good! I'm so proud of myself. And my health is already improving. I lost 3 lbs last week, and my complexion has completely cleared. I haven't felt this good since sophomore year of college! It's fantastic!

And yes, I'm finally getting back to the gym. My goal is 3 times a week (which is a HUGE improvement, but far from where I was a few years ago). However, I've been going about 4 times a week, so I'm doing even better than expected. Yay me! I promised myself that if I can get to my 6 month goal weight, I'll let myself go to Maui! Woohoo! (BTW... my friend Dawn and I already have this trip planned. She won it a few weeks ago, and invited me to go with her. BUT if I don't make my goal, I can't go. Motivation, eh?).

So, in other news... I'm still supposed to go to New Orleans in January. I'm finally getting used to (and excited about) this idea. I'll be damned if I let my fear and my loneliness get the better of me if and when I go too. I HAVE CHANGED! Crazy, ain't it? Haha. Can you tell how freakin' happy I am right now? Still the most single person in the world, but shoot... no one can love you until you love yourself, right? And I'm finally able to just put the past dude behind me. I don't hate him, but appreciate him for what he taught me. I now know what I want isn't what I need, and I now actually know what that need is. Hurray!

Well, I thought I'd blog really quick before I head to bed. This blog may not mean much in the morning, but c'est la vie! Hope all is well out there for y'all too! God Bless!
