Day 1 - An attempt at being "better"

I hate that phrase "being better"...it implies that I am not a good person, even though I know I am.
I just have these god-awful terrible habits that seem to get in my way constantly.
Somehow when I try to change these habits, I seem to fail miserably...two steps back.
When I try to change eating habits, I feel deprived.
When I try to change exercise habits, I manage a couple days in a row before I get bored.
I'm quick-tempered and a frustrating individual...I'm amazed my fiance can put up with me.
These times blogging and the class on mindfulness seem to be helping my "awareness", not just about myself, but also about everything and everyone around me.

I've got such a long way to go to "happy". Here's hoping I learn to find simple joy along that path.

A Few Things...

Tomorrow, I start over.

I will...

...exercise more
...eat better and smaller portions
...cut out the negative self talk
...meditate
...live mindfully
...budget appropriately
...learn to love myself
...appreciate more
...be my own BFF

There will be bumps and hiccups, but most of all...

...I will keep moving forward...

<3 Happy BFF Day <3
