the fear of getting older
we had plans for the weekend... to see the new matt damon movie and do a cupcake crawl in an attempt to find icing other than buttercream (seriously, yuck!! why replace delicious vanilla frosting with yucky buttercream?) but, well, staying in and finishing everwood and starting the o.c. sounded so much better. so we did that instead. we have plans for the next few weekends, so we'll make up for our laziness then; and, i'll just get a slice of cake from newk's for my birthday in a couple of weeks.
all of my orders came and are lovely. i may return one of the lilly pulitzer shirts but i don't want to so i haven't yet. i am determined to make it work! i am still arguing with kate spade over a refund for an order they messed up. it's been super annoying and frustrating and puts a sour taste in my mouth for ordering from them again.
i went to the doctor yesterday for my yearly checkup (um, only it had been 3 years) and now i have a follow up preventative appointment to schedule for a specialist. it was a gut check for sure learning the amount of weight i have gained since my last appointment. i distinctly remember at the time, too, i had gained weight. i cannot figure out how i got from there to here and i am now more determined than ever to loose this weight. it seems so overwhelming, but i have been in denial and avoiding it for far too long. it's time to step up and face myself. yesterday i went for a walk/jog, i need to start riding my bike in the morning again, and as it warms up i plan to start swimming at the complex's pool. plus eating better and significantly less. lent coming up is a great time for me to give something up/start doing something extra for this goal.
going to the doctor combined with my impending birthday has made me start to feel my age changing. i know those of you who are already 30 or over are probably rolling your eyes, because i know reading about getting older from people younger than me is annoying. is it this hard for everyone? hopefully it'll be easier once i'm no longer dreading it and it's just an age.
