Happy New Year! 2013

Officially, 2012 belongs in the past now. So much has happened, good and bad and I regret none. I can only move forward and work on my ass to achieve my goals for this year.

Though, I deviated a little from my weight loss goal (I blame the holidays, not the lack of discipline), I want to continue what I have started until I reached my desired weight.

Last year was one hell of a roller coaster ride. It was a ride worth taking. Here's a rundown on what transpired the year before;

- Coming to America
- learning to cook healthy foods
- adjusting to culture
- raising a child American style
- looking for a job
- learning to drive
- getting a driver's license
- passing the driver's license
- looking for state jobs (still)
- actually working
- first time driving without a qualified adult (because I passed the license test that's why)
- passing the state civil service exam
- starting a food blog
- making the food blog work

 there's so much that  has happened and I can't remember all of them, but I can remember the major ones. So, for 2013, I am looking forward to all the challenges I am going to face head-on.

My goals to achieve for this year are;

- find a job that pays $ 15.00 +
- find our own place
- get a car
- petition brian
- get Sam into daycare
- lose 5 lbs of weight a month
- save money
- visit Mary Cris

things can add up as they go, but right now I am pretty sure of where I am going. The tough road ahead, I'm not sure how tough it's going to be, but I'll get through no matter what.

Happy New Year! #goodlifeahead
