Start Fresh 2010 – Welcome to the big 2-6

May 31, 2010

in Growing Up, Start Fresh, stratejoy

So. I’m 26. Which means I’m officially closer to 30 than I am to 20, and I’m not sure how I feel about that. But that’s not what this post is about.

P.S. I will post a recap of my freaking awesome birthday weekend sometime this week once I’ve gone through all the pictures!!

My 25th year was a tough one. I realized there’s a lot about my life that I’m unsure of, a lot I’m afraid of, and a lot I want to make better. I’m in a rut. I’m sad all the time, exhausted all the time, and forcing myself to change it! So, rather than post a recap of all the crap that happened in the last year, I’m instead going to share with you a new schedule I’m creating for myself.

Maybe I’m using this as a do-over of the resolutions I have failed at during the first half of the year, or maybe I just realized that all this time I’ve been focusing on the wrong things. It’s time to focus on me for a change!

First, this is all banking on the hope that my Stratejoy package arrives tomorrow! If not, that aspect of this schedule will have to be altered slightly until it gets here!

Second, once school is out on June 10th, my work schedule will change slightly (from 7-330 to 8-3) which will give me even more time in my evening to really work on this stuff!

June 1st is the first day of my new life. And this is how it will look!

  • Work
  • Stratejoy – My 4PM naptime just changed into an hour of ME time!
  • Project 365 – Justin bought me a new lens and made me promise to start this again! I’m officially setting aside time to take that daily picture! (Unless of course, something strikes throughout the day that I can catch on my iPhone)
  • Blog writing, dinner, catching up on google reader – I’m good at multi-tasking these things
  • Gym Time – Justin has created a routine for me, consisting of a mix of running/lifting/yoga that I should be able to keep up with, without becoming overwhelmed and quitting again!
  • Protein Shake – Another promise to Justin in his efforts to make me healthier
  • Bedtime

I’m really excited to take on these new challenges. I’ve been counting down the days to June 1st, hoping that it really will kick-start my authentic happiness. I’m tired of this rut I’m in, and have so much faith that this new schedule will finally put things into perspective for me. I’ll be sure to keep you updated on my progress!!

I know the feeling. I’m kind of using your schedule to maybe get myself into a routine. Especially since I start my new job tomorrow, it’s the perfect opportunity to change my schedule up a bit.

Can I borrow Justin to set me up a fitness plan too??
