Embrace You!
I
cannot believe the 2014 holiday season is already done. After Thanksgiving was
over, everything else was a blur. Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve,
New Year’s Day…where did the time go?
I
struggled this season with a bit of a sweet tooth and sad to say, I had dessert
with every meal. I’m so regretting it now because all my cute clothes are too tight. That’s not like me, but it was sooo
good. So now what?
As
many of us enter into the New Year we all no doubt, have a plan for change (or at least a very strong desire). Commonly,
many goals set this time of year, include some type of weight loss plan. However,
whether we plan to change our weight, change our job, or change our hair, we all
surely have something we want to modify.
NEW YEAR, NEW BODY
I
want a total fitness makeover. I am somewhat in need of a fresh start, not to
be confused with a start over. I just need to reactivate what I had started and
be diligent about making constant improvements until it is completed - until I
reach and maintain my goal. My weight loss plan is where I’ll start this year, but there are so many areas where a new me is desired. First, I
want to lose 10 pounds and tone excessively. I want to wear a two-piece bikini this Spring Break and
I want to get back to the days when I did not NEED Spanx. Simple enough, right?
This is not me, just my Pilates crush! |
So,
I guess I need to get back to what works, although herein lies the problem, IT’S
TOO MUCH WORK! Why can’t metabolism continue to do what it is supposed to do? I
love the feeling of accomplishment after a workout, But I HATE working out. I’ve
tried mixing it up, adding variations: outdoors, indoors, under the door – I’ve
done it all and I still HATE exercising. Currently, I do a combination of
Pilates, Cardio, and Weight training. It works when I work it. I just need to
do it, and for me, I realize I have to do SOMETHING every day. Never had this
problem before. And to make matters worse, my biggest issue is not usually poor
eating habits; its poor consistency in actually being more active. Have I
mentioned that I hate exercising?
NEW YEAR, NEW HAIR
I
MIIIGGGHHHT post before and after weight loss shots if I can get ones that look decent enough.
NEW YEAR, NEW MIND
Although my listed goals are external, I am definitely working on the inside as well as the outside.
What
about you? New Year, New You? What are you hoping, wishing, praying, desiring
as a fresh start? Please share on FaceBook at Love My Hairitage.
Until
next time, keep growing.
