Ringing in the New Year

Let's face it, covid is still messing up our lives in one

way or the other. I don't think it's going anywhere at

this point BUT we can't let it define us or ruin our lives anymore!!!

2022 has got to be better than the last couple of years right?

I don't do resolutions anymore but I do have goals set

up for myself.

I have started back to the gym. I did take the week of

Christmas off but plan to take advantage of any day that I can go pending working around watching my granddaughter.

In addition to making sure I am getting to the gym, I am

done smoking!!! New Year's Eve is my last day. The hubs and

I decided that will be it. Why am I choosing that day? Well I

know I will be drinking if I drink. I want to smoke.

I have struggled with smoking for 28 years! I can't believe

it's been that many years. I have quit numerous times but it never sticks, a trigger always happens. I am not technically quitting.

I am going to be vaping. The goal is to eventually quit vaping

at some point.

I have to do this, not only for my health but I can't afford the

habit and the money I am spending on cigarettes is taking away

money that we need for other things.

I just want to be as healthy as I can be, I have too

much to live for!!!

So no resolution questions I will just ask this.... what are

your goals for the new year?
