Day 7 & 8

day 7- a picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you

 

HAAa- this picture cracks me up! But... in all seriousness, my parents have had some of the biggest impacts on my life. They have taught me to be strong and independent, to work hard and to play hard, to stand up for what I believe in, to be forgiving and to have a sense of humor- among other things.

There are other very impactful people in my life: Kris and Ronan, my sister, my closest friends, work, etc.. but mom and dad probably have had the most influence.

day 8- short term goals for this month and why

Well this is a good one, seeing as how it's New Year's Eve tomorrow, I would tie this in to my New Year's resolutions. I read that losing weight is the #1 resolution people make, so I guess I am in that category also-finding new ways to do this is always a good goal! Finding ways to be more active in the cold, cook healthier meals, watch my portion sizes, etc, etc... my short term goal this month would be to at least start 1 new, healthy, good for me habit.
