Update - January 11, 2018

I honestly have no excuse that I can come with to say why I haven't posted on this blog in nearly a year. There is no excuse that can be given, except that I got lazy with keeping up with it. The past year hasn't been as bad since my father passed away in November 2016. I've honestly had a pretty good 2017. I finally got a part-time job in the middle of September working for a local newspaper and I even got one at the end of November working for an online company. And whats great is that with the hours, I am able to keep up with both jobs.
I tried Etsy for a bit but I have found that I just don't have the drive to keep being creative with it, so I think I'm going to close my Etsy shop and just focus on my two main jobs right now. Well, those two and still being the primary caregiver for my grandfather and mentally handicapped uncle.
And with all that going on, I will fully admit that my weight-loss took a backseat pretty much for the rest of last year since the last post was made on this blog. And I feel so bad that it did.
So since I am becoming financially stable, which means less stress on my mind; I want to try and start updating this blog more regularly now. I want to lose weight and show myself that I can do it. I don't feel like I need to prove anything to anyone else because in all honesty, the older that I have gotten (I'm 30 for those that are wondering) the less I care about what people think of me. Everyone has their own opinion, so let them have it. Don't focus on the negative in life, focus only on the positive.
The blogs are going to start out pretty simple. Tomorrow I'm going to post my weight (not the heaviest I've ever been; but not where I want to be right now), what I've been doing so far this year to try and help myself, and a question that I want to ask to see if anyone can help me figure it out. This year I am going to focus more on myself, since I have less stress on me.
See you guys Friday!
