The base jump of my LifeAfter.

(A side note for any readers before I get started:
This blog here is for anyone who is willing to follow and read what I have to say. This is a starting point for you. This will tell you what my focus and goals are for this blog as a whole and myself.
So if you do take up a habbit of reading and following my blogs then please take note and know that most of the time I make no sense and that I am not perfect nor do I want to be. My main focus for this blog is to have a place where I can record what is going on in my life and to be able to look back at this and see how I have evolved and changed. So with that said I hope you enjoy the journey with me as I start my LifeAfter.)
New beginnings in a new home, state and Army post.
I moved on January 1st with hubby David. He got PCS orders to Fort Benning. Fun fact: 7% of Ft. Benning is located in AL and the rest is located in GA. So the big question is what state do we want to live in....? We chose to live in AL for many reasons but the main one was because houses in GA for rent were out right shitholes for the money they wanted. $900 a month for a house that has been broken into twice and taken for it's copper and wires.... No thank you!

SweetHomeAlabama it is...so now what? What are my new goals? Well I'll tell you.
I want to get back to what I used to love and had passion for. My creativity. Since I have a house with 1.5 acres that both need some love and attention and nothing is set in my future I've decided to dive head first into some projects to help keep me moving forward and letting my creativity loose. I have some big plans and I want to be able to see my progress so here is where I'll share and keep track of myself.

My second project I want to take on is my health and weight for the second time in my life. Since being pregnant means you tack on the pounds it also means that once your little one is no longer taking up residency in your belly it's time to lose the extra pounds. I really want to shed the extra weight because I am literally wearing a reminder of what was but is no longer and it is slowing me down big time.
Sounds simple enough but finding the daily motivation to workout and not eat junk is harder then what you think if you've never had weight problems like I have. I have never been mistaken for being small or average in all my life but I have at one time been obese and damn near the size of a barn in my early teen year. As I got older and started giving a shit about what I looked like and my health I lost the better part of my weight and slowly worked my way into a nice comfy size 14/15. Now a size 14/15 might seem like it's still a pretty good hefty size to some but for me it was heaven because my topped out size was 26/27 so needless to say I am damn proud of myself! Now with the baby weight sitting on me like a spare tire I am in a size 18/19 and none too pleased but I know that my body was trying to create a life so it evens out in my mind.I'm setting a new and better goal for myself then what I had before at a size 12/13. So here is to a new and better and hopefully a smaller me.

The last of my goals for myself is something that I have always had a huge problem with and I'm honestly not proud of it but I do admit it and take on responsibility for it. I tend to judge people in a not so secretive way and have a temper to match. I have a problem with telling people off in 0.2 second and I've been known as an out right heinous bitch because I don't hold back what I think or say and because of it I am sure I have missed out on knowing some really great people and have also hurt some people who didn't deserve it. I really need to work on this and learn to control myself and filter what I say. This one is probably going to be the hardest for me....

So with a clean slate ahead of me and some new goals I'm ready to lift my head up high and move forward with my life and come to terms and peace with my past and start on a new life for myself. And also take my poor hubby for a fun ride he didn't buy a ticket for. Yes I will also be posting about how my actions affect my husband at every stage I put him through. Poor guy... He has no clue.

Meet me here again tomorrow for more of my LifeAfter.
