Committed, to myself....
So, I'm doing well with the no Caffeinated sodas thing. I do do Ice tea still, but not even as much of that recently.
I'm doing well with stairs whenever I can thing.
Not doing so well with the walking 20 min. a day thing. With being so sick, its been difficult to make that happen, but I'm getting better so time to get on that band wagon.
I think the next thing is to make veggies a bigger part of each meal. The problem is I'm so picky about veggies. I can't eat bell peppers, don't like onions, raw tomatoes, raw broccoli or cauliflower, olives, water chestnuts, not fond of radishes.... I need to learn more/better ways of dealing with veggies. I get tired of steamed broccoli, carrot sticks etc. I don't know a whole lot about other greens, so I can't really give an opinion on them. Anyone have a few good simple recipies I can start learning with?
I'm tired of not liking what I see in pictures of me. I keep wondering why people don't tell me how bad I look. I'm more than 40 pounds overweight, my clothing style isn't really a style at all, and my hair... it has no shape and my scalp is greasy by the time my hair air drys. The long hair is part of how I identify myself, but I'm wondering if it isn't time to let it go. Maybe a nice style that frames the face with the over all length a little below my shoulders.
Maybe I should get someone to nominate me for one of those makeover shoes ~chuckle~
Ok, lets be real. The body, I can work on, I'm starting and I can now step it up. The hair, I need to go talk to a good stylist. The clothes. I need to stop dressing like it doesn't matter and reacting like it does. If I really didn't care what people thought I wouldn't bother being so defiant about it.
Then there is the feeling like I've gotten old and boring all the sudden. I don't go out a lot, I have stopped doing things just for the fun of it. Yeah you need to be aware of what you are doing and what the repercussions are, but I worry so much about that that I forget to have fun. No wonder kids like Jim better, he knows how to have fun. I am way too controlled about what I do and what I say. I had planned to spend a lot of this week off working on me, finding me, getting myself together internally so I approached the new year with a new attitude, but alas holiday goings on and me being sick as a dog put more of a kink in my plans than I wanted.
Anyways enough ruminating for now, I have more laundry to do, and I am going out gaming tonight.
