2012 So Far
My sincere apologies for disappearing again for the last few weeks. Once the new year began, school and work kicked into full gear again and I haven’t really had the the chance to breathe since.
So please excuse the fact that this is long overdue, but I hope that you had a wonderful holiday season! And happy new year (yeah, I know).
In the midst of all of the hoopla, I have been taking pictures on Instagram whenever the mood strikes. All of these pictures were taken this month and pretty much sum up what I’ve been up to so far: food, self-reflection and planning listening to great music and more food.
While this year has gotten off to more of a slow start, I do have a great feeling about 2012 and I’m looking forward to the rest of this year. And while I know that I say this often and I sometimes can’t keep this promise, I really do hope to blog much more this year. And that is the truth.
So how has the start of the year been so far for you?
Feeling Comfortable and Getting Healthy
Hello, all! How are you? Happy 2010!It’s going to be a good year, I can feel it! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday with lots of family, love, celebration and festivities. I know I’ve pretty much disappeared in these past couple of weeks as I went on a bit of a break of my own, and I do apologize for the lack of posts. I decided that I needed to step away from my computer for awhile and do some self-reflection before I rang in the new year. However, I am back and ready to get back down to business.
During my time of self-reflection, one of my largest gripes was acknowledging that I’m not comfortable in my own skin.Weight and weight issues are something that I really tread lightly on, because I feel like it’s hard enough as it is for women–no matter what size they are–to live up to ideals. I’ve lived most of my young adult/adult life trying not to be so body conscious because I never wanted to make myself feel like I was in this never ending struggle. As someone who’s never been considered “thin”, I’ve just never bothered to aspire to live up to what I thought was unattainable.
However, over the past couple of years, as I’ve become less active and I’ve been eating more unhealthy meals, I’ve noticed how uncomfortable I feel in my body. After I recent meltdown during break with a certain button down shirt I used to be fond of , I decided enough was enough. I hate to feel like I’m in part of the Resolutioner crowd, but I am going back to my gym, getting back into hot yoga and starting a very fun class for fitness and leisure. I’m also.I’ve also signed up to Sparkspeople.com and I’ve been following the stories and gaining inspiration from many lovely ladies in the “Getting Healthy” section of The Demoiselles.
Sounds good? Any suggestions?
While talking to a friend, she asked me if I was afraid of wearing plus-sized clothing.I took out a lot of time to think about my answer.Truth be told, I can already wear plus-sized clothing depending on what it is and I don’t really care about label sizes. Plus, my mission isn’t to be thin, but it’s to feel comfortable in my own body, which will also lead me to being a much healthier person. It is definitely one of my ultimate goals for 2010 and beyond.
Do you have any goals that you want to achieve in 2010?
