Big Girl Decisions December

We are 4 days into December and I have already needed to make some big girl decisions.

In the first week of December, I decided to resign from my job at the school. It was a horrible excruciating decision. It was the first job I've had with benefits in 3 years. And giving that up was so difficult. I was so miserable in my position that is was effecting so many areas of my life. I haven't been wanting to go to the gym because I've been so tired, I've been eating worse, and my mental health has taken a huge downturn. When I finally made the choice that I was going to resign I slept SO well the next night. I feel as though so much weight has been lifted off of me. I think that I've lost at least 10 lbs of emotional baggage. So now I'm going back to substituting and working at the brewhouse. I'm hoping that being less stressed and less tired I will be able to have energy to go to the gym and focus on eating better again. This was a huge decision to make, but I would rather head into 2012 in a great frame of mind and with my eating/exercising back on track.

**Side note, I'm watching last weeks Biggest Loser Makeover Edition Episode, and have become emotional about the reveals to family members. Such an inspiration.**

December holds a lot of wonderful things for me. My family is coming to Sacramento next weekend, and I couldn't be happier to see them. On the 16th I'll be turning 28. I will be heading home for Christmas towards the end of the month. I feel like I have a lot of things to be thankful for.

I really want to start my 28th year of life, and 2012 off on the right foot in all aspects of my life. So here is to a new enlightened month!
