New Year, new you?

What does the New Year mean for you?

Usually, the 1st of the year is a "year in review" post for me. I like to go back and pick out some of my highs and even the lows that occurred throughout that particular year. It is always shocks me just how much I pack into one 365 days. 2010 was no exception for me. I am still going to do a year in review, just a little different this time. You see, I went to get started on mu usual end of the year post to find that my domain was taken. Much to my surprise, there I sat, staring at website I had never seen. I tried and tried again but there it was, plain and clear. My blog, was no longer foodnfeelings. I cant tell you how upset I was. I literally saw the last three years of typing until my fingers cramped down the tubes. Yes, maybe a little dramatic but oh so true. I then realized that I could always go back to my blogger domain and I guess buy a new one but I wanted the one I had. The name I came up with. I thought about that blog name for months. I came up with a icon and everything. With all this being said, I don't have the domain name and cant get it back. I tried everything that I could but no luck. Sorry if you all typed in my web address to see the same website that made me gasp.

This New Year means so many things to me. In fact, this year has more pressure behind it than any of the others. I am not sure why but I feel it deep within myself that something is going to happen this year that will change me forever. Who knows!?! If that isnt a reason to keep reading I dont know what is! This year means a new blog. Yes, I will be constructing a new blog with all new material this year. I was M.I.A. for the last few months of 2010 and I vow to post and keep my blog alive. Health tips, motivation, recipes, reviews and of course me and the crazy things that happen in my life day to day. This year lets not just talk about what we are going to do. Lets move while we talk about it! I mean it. Next time you want to catch up with a friend over some coffee just say this. "I cant wait to see you and hear all about what you have been up to! Instead of getting coffee would you like to go for a walk and talk?" Or even better "Would you like to come over and we walk to the coffee shop so we can get some exercise, yummy coffee AND hang out?" I bet you anything that if you ask someone to do something active with you, they will. I bet you that if you asked someone to go on a walk with you, they would. Dont take my word for it though, just try it.

So, keep reading and dont be surprised when you see a fancy new name, logo and look. This year folks means, a "new" me! I recently cut my hair short so I already have a head start on a new look. I do have some resolutions for the New Year but I always have a goal in mind and always willing to make what I think good, better. How about you? Anything you really want to come true for you this year? What's stopping you? Who cares if it is the 3rd, 5th or 29th. Get started right now. Not tomorrow. Now. Who cares if you blew breakfast and you think that today is just a loss. Get on track NOW, not tomorrow. Who cares about the time of day or number on the calendar? Today my friends has no number, it has no time table. It is NOW. There is no time like the present. Period.

Now that I have given you the low down on the blog, a little pep talk about getting yourself back in the right direction I feel MUCH better! It has killed me not being able to write here and even if I had no readers I would do it. I want you to think about this. How about signing up for a blog (it is free on www.blogger.com) and blog for yourself? Wow! I bet you never thought about this. Do you know how easy it is? I know what your thinking "But I sit at the computer all day, I dont want to blog." Well, I will say this. Having a blog is better than a diary, it is better than those "before and after" pictures it is better than a time capsule. What if you started a blog for one year devoted to 2011 and your journey throughout the next 360 days?

Just a thought....
