Yikes, sorry about the formatting, I’m too tired to make that work and I couldn’t just leave it as a block of text. But, the point is, for 2013, I will be analyzing a complex notion into simpler ones. Weight loss isn’t for vanity, it’s for my health and well-being. This will be a goal for the upcoming year any time I am no longer within a healthy BMI range. I need to lose 15-ish pounds. I will be determining the source of the problem and solving or proposing solutions to the problem. Right now, the problem is being pre-diabetic, and it’s time to analyze my blood sugar and my eating habits to lose weight and regain control of my blood sugar. I hope to resolve this issue with permanent changes to my lifestyle and eating habits. This is difficult, and I expect it to take time, but it needs to be done.

On a lighter note, I think I’d like to open an Etsy store and my own PayPal account in 2013. I like crafty things, but rarely need anything I put together, nor do I have the space to store it, so why not sell it? I get the fun of creation and hopefully it will fund even more creative projects.

And I hope to cross things off my list of 30 Things To Do In My 30s. A cruise is in the works, let’s see if we can make it happen!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
