I'm Starting Boot Camp

Not just a weight loss boot camp but a life alerting, things are going to be different boot camp. I’m a person that believes life is about constant growth and evolution. I want to continually be changing myself and my habits (and my hair color). My life hasn’t resembled this the last few months. I got complacent, overwhelmed, and exhausted (physically and emotionally). I lost the fight in me and boy did I end up losing the fight. I let myself go, and you can tell.

I’ve always blogged for me. It’s my release. It’s my passion. It’s my outlet. But, lately I’ve changed how I write, what I write, and how often I write because I know I have readers who read just to know my personal life so they’re able to use it against me sometime in the future. (Einstein, I know you’re out there!!!!) They may let their negativity enter my work day, change parts of my social life, and overall just piss me off…but I refuse to continue to let that happen here in my blog, my haven, MY place. Truthfully, it’s gone on far too long. I refuse to let them continue to take some of the best moments of my life.

I believe God himself intervened and said, “E, this is pathetic, I can’t watch this anymore. It’s time.” Lucky for me (cough cough) he delivered a little blessing to help me stand up and realize it was time. I’m not sure what I’ll call this blessing (cough cough) yet but I’m sure I’ll have an appropriate name for it after Monday morning once weight loss boot camp starts. In all honesty though, they said I’ll meet you half way but you have to do the rest to get yourself where you want to be. And, it got me thinking. I can’t just expect things to change without implementing the change. Ghandi really says it best- “Be the change you want to see in the world.” So, starting tomorrow…I will be the change I want to see in my world.

I will write what I want and as frequently as I want because it’s what I love to do. I will speak my mind and confront those who attempt to use my personal thoughts and freedom of speech against me. Einstein, beware. I’m coming back with more fight than I had before. And, I’ll be in shape and looking pretty snazzy when I do it.
