Blog Forward Challange: New Year New Me

 

I am part of the Zone Perfect Blog Forward Challenge for this year.  This a challenge to bloggers to make changes this year and along the way we get challenges, help and we write about it. Talk about accountability, I have needed to do this for years and I am so greatful to the people at Zone Perfect to help me get my life on track.

I have  decided this is the year that I change alot of aspects of my life.  I have 3 resolutions for this year.

1. Love myself more this year. I have a tendency to put everything before myself and I think its time to think about me. 

2. Lose Weight. I am at the highest weight I have ever been even when I was expecting my daughter …not cute. By eating healthier thanks to items like Zone Perfect Energy Bars. 

3. Become more organized. My home office is a mess and I have trouble finding almost everything in my house. 

I decided I need a letter to myself in order to encourage me.

Dear Aimee,

Its a new year and its time for changes you have let people walk over you, use you and your love. You have been hit time and time again with adversity and always wonder why you. In some instances you allow it. No seriously girl you allow yourself to be used.. don't you see that you are worth more than that? That you deserve more than that? You don't even like the body you are in.

You want to change stop using excuses as a crutch. Just do it. Its not always easy its not always fun. But it what has to be done. Love your self enough to become more organized, love yourself enough to lose this weight and eat better.  But it starts with loving you.

Love you.. Love me

Aimee in the future.

 

So I believe that I am well on my way to accomplishing my goals. I actually started in Nov. and have lost 25 pounds and I am down a dress size.  So far so good and the bar zone bars are perfect when I don't feel like having my snack or when I am on the go I can throw one or two ( depending on how long I will be gone) and it helps me not to snack or go off the path.

If you have some resolutions like nutrition, organization or family  then  here are some tips to help with your new years:
