So today marks the first day of change and turning my life into a positive direction.

I started a new diet today where I'm monitoring everything I eat and portioning correctly. If it goes well, I hope to lose 35lbs by the end of this year. I want to get fit and healthy.

I'm also going to be writing more. It'll have been a year since my last release and that's not how it should be. I should be releasing novels yearly.

And exercise, too, btw on that getting fit/healthy front.

I just want to take steps in the right direction to be happy - to make myself happier.

On that note, I've also gone to the doctors to get a minor operation that I should have gotten when I was younger but never did - that's scheduled for August. And I'm also getting my anxiety meds back because I feel like I need them until the end of the year, anyway.

Wish me luck.
