The Now

This little gorgeous thing doesn't really have anything to do with the post but I thought a little bit of eye candy couldn't hurt.

I need to change. That's about it really. I am 31, unhealthy and stressed and after years of feeling like this I realised I will never change if I continue the way I have been. Sadly I have declared this before but this time I am going to do things differently. Firstly this blog. Accountability is where it's at! I have the lovely Mr Cookie to help me but sometimes that just isn't enough! Secondly a clue is in the name, Agatha Cookie. Before I have tried to deprive myself and always fail but this time it's all about healthier eating habits, better lifestyle choices and so on. I am not going to live on lettuce leaves (unless I decide I want to of course!) but I am going to cut down on the wine, the chocolate, the lack of exercise...

I have a job I love, but it can consume me, so as well as all the healthy shenanigans I declared above I also want a better work/life balance. Or should that be life/work balance? I still want to be the best teacher I can be (yes I teach little people to be awesome) but I also need for me to be the best I can be.

So this is the now.

Now I focus on the future. I never want to be here again.
