Happy New Year, Part 2

So it's July 1 - time for a new start (again). The first half of 2007 wasn't what I was expecting it to be. I'm surviving, but I've been through a lot this year, and I'm realizing that there are some changes to make. I've had to go through and really consider who some of my friends are, and I learned that there are some people who I thought were my friends who really weren't. And that hurt. But that's a process of growing up.

So there are things I need to change. I am heavier than I have been in quite some time. I need to get off of my butt and hit the gym. Start exercising and working out and watching what I eat. I don't need to be drinking lots of soda and eating lots of junk. I've cut back on the amount of alcohol, but that's not enough. I have so many cute clothes that I can't wear, and I don't want to buy anything new. And I want to find something new to occupy my time. I'm not liking my company, and I haven't in quite some time. I need to find something to give me the excitment again. And at a place where I'm appreciated.

I'm not sure about the dating scene. I'm still feeling a bit apprehensive about letting myself out there and the possibility of getting hurt. But I know I'll have to do that soon. It's been quite some time since I've had anyone in my life (1 1/2 years). And that's lonely.

So it's a time for changes, again. But it can't start as bad as it did last year, can it?
