Time for a Change

I woke up the other morning and decided that my life HAD to change.

No real epiphany, no magical moment. I just woke up and realised what my life had come to. Its a sad little shell of a life really - that revolves around hating my work (Which is nearly all of my weekly life) and putting myself down for my inability to look like a movie star. And lets face it. You should have more in your life than that - right?

So i lay there in bed for the 30 seconds i had to myself and thought - what do i really want out of my life? Or at least what would make it better than it is now?

About an hour later - when i was on the tram and the man across me was singing loudly along in time with his ipod - i revisited these questions. What did i really want in my life? that was too difficult to answer so i decided to tackle the slightly less disturbing question of what could i do to improve this life.

Well i thought to myself - Better health, More exercise, Less fat, better eating patterns, being less tired, less stress, and the list went on - literally all the way to work.

So i am going to focus on getting better health - doing more exercise and loosing all the excess weight i have - which is alot.

I have a feeling this time it will work - i know it will be incredibly difficult - but i'm up for the challenge. i dont want my life to be like this next year...
