Y'all know I did exactly 0.5% of my 2009 resolutions so, obviously, "resolutions" do not work for me. Mainly, because if you tell me to do something, there's a 95% chance I won't do it. Yeah, it's hard to motivate me (pretty shoes, cake and or shiny pink things? I'll do whatever you want). I'm stubborn, I'm aware of it.
But, ya know that commercial that's on TV right now for Special K about "you'll know when you're ready"? Well, after months of trying to lose weight and each week saying "I'll lose it before my birthday" (and then failing), I kind of had an "a ha" moment the other night. Yes, it took me a long time to lose the weight last year and it only took a few months to pack it back on. I'm not happy with me and that's what struck me the other night. I am ready. I'm ready.
Two days into my "new life" (this is what we are calling it since 'diet' makes me freak out) and I think things are looking up. I think just mentally being "ready" is a huge help. No idea why I wasn't "ready" between September-November, but, whatever. I'm "ready" now.
I fully intend to rock a cute swimsuit this summer. Mark my words kiddos, mark them.
Another "a ha" moment? I love to write. I've always known that, but, at this point in my life after lots of reflection and prayer, it's pretty much not only my childhood dream, but, what I am meant to do (besides run a ton of marathons next year and eventually be a mommy, obviously). So, SP=writing.
Can someone find me a job doing that everyday, please? K. Thanks.
Any 2010 resolutions? Any "a ha" moments?
I'm off to play in the snow! (I am so excited, I'm like a damn child)
loves!

Love you "a ha" moments! I'm ready to lose weight too, I have these last 10 pounds on me for 2 months and I am ready to get serious and lose them! We can do this!!
Love it!
And I just have a feeling, you'll be rocking a bikini this summer:)
Go girl!
You go girl...you can do it. If I hear of any writing jobs,I will let ya know.LOL
That's awesome!! YAY!! My 2010 res is to run a 1/2!!! =) XOXO
I know exactly what you mean about having to be really there and motivated to make things work. For basically the whole half of last year I wanted to lose the weight...lose the weight...but I really just wanted to eat :) But I feel my mind starting to set itself up for success this time. I can't wait to get started :)
Good luck to you!!
I think what most people don't realize is that until they are actually ready to DO IT, whether that means losing weight, quitting smoking, etc... they're never going to actually do it. You have to be 100% ready and committed and want to do it for yourself before it's ever going to happen. So excited for you girl!!!
Been there, done that with the "a ha" moments. Funny how we just intrinsically know when we're truly ready for change, isn't it?
I myself am too lazy to make official resolutions, so I try to just keep an evolving list throughout the year. LIke you, though, working more writing into my life is definitely on that list.
You and I have had the same "ah ha" moment! I want to write - probably not a novel for me, but being paid to write anything would be the biggest career joy!
