Introduction

Who Am I?

Not in the deep way :-). 

Born in January 1982, I'm 38 years old. I've been married 15 1/2 years, and I have three children: 6 (boy), 4 (boy), and 9 months (girl). 

I have worked my whole adult life, these last nine years as a high school counselor (focusing on college & academic counseling) at a Christian High School near Chicago.

I'm a Christian, and I'm involved at my church.

What will this blog be about?

My entire life, I have struggled with discipline. I'll narrow that down for you. I'm thinking this blog will focus on three areas:

1.) My struggle with my weight and health

2.) My struggle with being a budgeter/spender 

3.) My struggle with general follow-through.... in the workplace (being a good worker and meeting deadlines), in a Bible study (I never do my homework), in plans within my household (I'm going to clean the litter box every day!  And then a week goes by).

So, you know, pretty much every aspect of my life. 

In short, I just feel like a a lazy loser most of the time. 

So why the blog?

I'm hoping that by writing about my efforts, I might keep myself more mindful and accountable in my pursuit of discipline. Writing seems like a much better use of time than Candy Crush.
