This has not been my best week; I’m not even going to lie. I will likely go weigh in tomorrow morning to see just how bad it was. However, I have decided that I would take this opportunity to re-focus on my weight loss efforts. I feel like I’m recycling the same pounds over and over again and this cycle needs to stop. I was listening to Year of Yes: How to Dance It Out, Stand In the Sun and Be Your Own Person by Shonda Rhimes. It brought some things to the forefront of my mind including how important certain things are in my life and how I need to stop being afraid and focusing my mind on all of the “what if” and “could be” options that swirl in my brain. Bad habits like soda have been creeping back in to my workday. I have decided, honestly, that I am going to try to focus on what I CAN do this week. My goals for this week are to: I will pack a lunch/snack each workday. I will change up my breakfast at least 2 days out of the coming week. I will make sure I get 10,0
This picture is me from Easter last year. I have been thinking a lot about Easter holidays and how important and special they were to me growing up. The fact was that I almost always had a new dress and new shoes for the holiday growing up. I knew that was not what the holiday was about, but it was always special. Aside from the new outfit, someone always did something different with my hair. I grew up with impossibly straight hair and it would get put in pink foam rollers for special occasions. The other fond memory that pops up for me is going to church with my Nanny. Afterwards, we would go to my Nanny's and have a special dinner and hunt for eggs. I have fond memories of coloring eggs and going out in her big backyard to hunt for them. Things were simple then...more so than now, it seems. I am trying to bring back some of those traditions with my family. All of my children were together in one house for Easter dinner, along with my mother-in-law. I hope that this is just the beginning of a new tradition for my crew. What fond memories do you have related to the Easter holiday?
