Man... New Year started off with a terrible hang over. Last night I hope is one of the last shenanigans of my youth days. My poor body is to be treated like a temple (also, it can't recover quickly anymore. I was completely useless today).
Since I'm turning 30 this year now, so I will do myself a favour and try to eliminate elements that make me feel self-conscious or unhappy about myself. Here are some guidelines for myself in the next year:
- Being Positive. Bitch less.
I know I know you don't need to tell me this is going to be hard. But this is soooo important to the goal of keeping myself happy at work. As long as I stay positive and not partake in office gossips, I will less likely be involved in the office politics if there is any. I am happy at work and intend to stay so :) - Incorporating workout into my routines - let it become part of my lifestyle.
A year ago I wanted to eat healthier and the resolution has come a loooong way. I can't remember the last time I ate or even craved junk food, or just pigged out to the point of feeling sorry. Last summer I stayed active, thanks to friends support. This is just a reminder that I should keep it up, through good weather and bad. - Finding good pairs of jeans that don't make me feel uncomfortable.
Until I find a pair of jeans that doesn't make me feel crappy, I will bitterly remain in the Jeans-Haters Club. See, practically every time I wear them now, I feel like shit. They are tight, they sit right below my belly and squeeze the flub in a way that makes it hang out. Add to this any top with even the slightest stretch fabric and we've got an illusion that makes me either look like I've gained 10 lbs or become pregnant. These goddamn muffin-top makers definitely do not make me feel positive or healthy or whatever it is I'm trying to become. It's even making me dread Jeans Fridays - I routinely "forget" it's Jeans day because honestly I'd rather look office-hot in my sooper comfortable skirts.
So mission critical it is.... anyone knows a good place to start let me know!
great idea on staying positive in the office - I think that might be one of the hardest resolutions, since it is always so easy to get sucked into the negativity that is work, because face it - NO ONE wants to be at work. If people had a choice, they'd rather be chilling somewhere else, while getting paid. But I wish you the best of luck in that regard. As for the working out part - we need to encourage each other! Between the two of us, we're either going to get really fit - or get really lazy! LOL..but we'll be good, as long as we keep pushing each other! Jeans - I don't know man - start at jean machine? I like my comfy jeans..but they're always sooo baggy - I need to score some grownup clothes, that also feel comfortable. but finding those jeans means shopping...and shopping is sooo TEDIOUS!!! =S
