a woman's quest to finally get her life in check

the countdown begins

so i've been mia for quite some time now. both taking time to reflect and sitting on the couch. this is it. in 5 weeks i will be 27. and in 5 weeks i will loose 10 pounds. i want to commit to more but i want to make it feasible so i won't fall off the wagon again.
i fell off the wagon a couple of weeks ago but luckily it didn't drive away without me. i am ready to get back on and make a difference in my life.
what's changed? i went to boston to see my friends. they are my support network and needed to see them to regain control over myself. i needed to be with the people that love and support me and know me best. yes, my boyfriend fulfills that role but i needed that girlfriend bond. my trip reassured me that my life isn't falling apart - it just sucks right now but it will get better soon. i also discovered that my friends are all going through rough patches as well. that made me feel better in the sense that i'm not alone in going through some muddy water.
i also decided to talk to my doctor about getting antidepressants. he called it "situational depression" and told me it was completely normal for what i am going through right now - new state, new living situation, no friends or support network (face to face interaction), and no job......yeah, it's depressing. so i started taking the pills to give me that boost to get me off the couch.

here it goes...again....this time for real.....

today's plan:
water
exercise
vitamins
the rest is up to me.


ready, set......here i go
