My personal blog

This blog is just about me. It's about my daily life, and more of a journal than anything. Today is my first blog, Monday, April 27, 2009.

I am almost 4o. I'm growing everyday, but there is so much of me I want to change.

Here I will write prayer requests, things that amuse me, things I want to change about myself, things I like about myself, and just daily thoughts.

I also have a list of books I've read. Any listed are ones I've enjoyed. If I don't enjoy them, I don't finish them. I listen to audio books because I drive for a living and audio books make the ride enjoyable for me.

I'm overweight by about 30 lbs. That is one thing I want to change. I'm doing Jillian's 30 Day Shred again. I did it last month and lost about 2 inches, but when I came back from South Carolina, I never started again. I love Jillian from the Biggest Loser. Yesterday was my first day doing the Shred again. I really like that it's only 20 minutes, but it kills me!

Another thing is that summer is coming and I bite my cuticles to much that my fingers are destroyed and when I go swimming and they get wet from the water, they look disgusting and deformed. I would like to change that too, but I've been a lifelong nail biter. After my husband died, I started with the cuticle picking. It's a horrible, horrible habit and it's made me ashamed to even show my hands.

My relationship with God is almost non-existent now and I've noticed the change in my family because of it. That's another thing I want to change. I want to get back to church and stop making excuses and feeling sorry for myself, because in church is where I'm happiest.
