this one imperfect awesome life

Okay this only my 2nd post in a really long time. I have been obsessing about how to get started and just decided the best way was to just do it and learn as I go. So here goes.............

I just had my birthday this past week. 37 years old. Wow it has kind of hit me hard. I feel like you are only as old as you feel and I don't want to get caught up on numbers because it's too depressing. But I am not happy where Ie am physically and financially. So I have decided that this IS going to be my year to work on both of those. I currently weight 166lbs. And my baby will be 3 in September. It is time to really use the YMCA that I am a member of and to stop frequenting McDonalds so much. I have no savings really. My husband and I are basically living paycheck to paycheck with not much leftover. I realize that I am mainly the culprit. I love to shop. I almost have OCD about buying new clothes for me and the kids. I don't even know why I buys some of the things I do because we all really have enough clothes. So maybe by doing this blog I will be more accountable for what I put in my mouth, how much I moved my body that day, and how much money I spent on nonsense. That is my goal anyway, because I do have a lot to be happy about and I want my financial and physical self to show it. Does that make sense or does it sound like a bunch of babble. Maybe this will just be like a personal diary to me so I guess who cares, right?

Here is a picture of my younger sister. Isn't she beautiful? We used to be able to share clothes.
