Brand New Start BABY!

ALRIGHTY! No more icky gross boring Alexa anymore!

Good things are happening! YES! Good, brand new, awesome things! Bring on, THE LIST!

1. Weight Watchers started a new program! It's awesome and I really like it so far! It is like a brand new start and a new motivation. My sister, mom and I are getting back into it and getting our fresh new start in. We have been counting points and really working at it. It's getting a lot better! I have also been eating better. My sister and I are making smoothies a lot, serving sizes are getting better, and I'm not eating as much. It's gotten better. There are some things to get over and some bad habits to kick to the curb, but I'm working at it.

2. We bought this really fun Zumba thing for Wii. Not only is it an awesome work out, but it really brings the family together. We are all laughing and working out and having a blast. It's nice after a long day to break some sweat after a long day and just hang with the family.

3. I feel like my confidence is boosting. My choir teacher called me tonight telling me that no one was singing at our 1st varsity basketball game and wanted me to sing the national anthem. Apparently I did really well, I was too nervous to remember. But I was in the middle of singing and all I hear is someone behind me go 'DAYUM!' and it kind of made my night. I just felt like people were finally paying attention to something that wasn't my weight, but my voice instead. It was a good feeling. Really great.

4. Therapy is going really well and I don't really know what would become of me if I didn't have my therapist. She is wonderful. It is just a time to let everything that is negative or peevish out and it is a great release. I feel like a lot of my pessimistic ways have been flipped. It's nice. I'm enjoying it.

There are still those moments where it just doesn't seem worth it anymore, but it all changes. It's nice feeling like something is finally getting somewhere when it comes to changing habits and such. And it's nice to have family and friends there along the way. It means a lot to me.
There will be a LOT of stress this week however. TONS of president, choir, drama, stuff! Tons! So, if I hop on whenever I am free complaining about how crazy life is, don't be shocked :)

Bring on another great week.
