G, D, & R

The plan for this blog is to periodically check in with my goals, doubts, and real life happenings. Allow me to explain: Every now and then (weekly...maybe) you'll see a post titled "G,D, & R." In these posts, I'll update  my plans (GOALS), my questions (DOUBTS), and my progress (REALITIES). Make sense? 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GOALS

I am not my biggest fan. My self esteem has always been lacking, but it seems to have gotten worse over the past few years. And you know what Maya Angelou always says..."If you don't like something, change it."

Let me be clear in saying that I am a very fortunate person. I have a loving family and a fabulous fiance. There is only one area of my life that needs improvement: Me. 

So, while there are more specific goals to make, the overall goal is to create a happy, confident, beautiful Sam. Easier said than done, friends. 

DOUBTS 

You are currently reading my 1,203,240,987,890th attempt at changing the way I feel about myself. Negative Nancy Sam wants to believe that this will be my 1,203,240,987,890th failure. 

REALITIES

Today, I planned to wake up at 6:30am for a jog around the neighborhood. I even put my phone on the other side of the room so I'd have to get up to turn off the alarm. Did I get up? Yeah. Did I immediately get back in bed? Oh, yeah. I've also chewed my nails down to a stubby nothingness. Lovely. 

On the sunnier side, I made myself a yummy lunch and managed to stay away from a lunch date with Future Husband (AKA: One way ticket to Fatville.)

Welcome.

Welcome to the beginning of something wonderful boring pointless ... just ... something. 

My name is Sam and it's time for a change. So, I am officially inviting you to follow my journey to a better life. I have created this happy place as a journal for my good days, my bad days, and every day in between. Follow me as I share my goals, my doubts, and my realities. 

Welcome to my brain. I hope you're prepared.
