How many of you have already broken your New Year's Resolution? I used to make them every year but soon found that I always "failed myself" in the first few weeks. It's sad to be disappointed in someone but I think it's even worse to be disappointed in yourself. So with that being said...no more resoultions for me! I just decided "Why wait until New Year's to try and improve myself"?
I learned a long time ago that I'm a work in progress. Aren't we all? I work hard everyday to consider other people. What are they going through? What is their pain? Their happiness? Everyone has a story. I keep a prayer journal. I use it for myself, friends, family, strangers, my children...whoever comes into my mind each morning. I miss things sometimes. I see people and later think "Oh shoot! Why didn't I ask about X?" Again, a work in progress.
I'm also always trying to learn new things. Recently my DH got me a Canon Rebel for our anniversary (15th...oh yeah!) and I've poured over the instructions and dug up many resources to help learn all about it. I've taken pictures for a few families and even made a little money!
Ok. So that's what I'm working on for my soul, my mind and now for the dreaded BODY!!! It's so much easier to complain about than to actually DO something about. But I try. I'm a fairly regular runner. I run more consistently in the Spring, Summer and Fall. I run 5k's to Half marathons. (Did 4 Half's last summer!) No full yet, although it's a goal. I'm not too great on the treadmill so I kinda fall off in the Winter a bit. I want to get into more weight training (see, always trying to improve!) I eat pretty healthy most of the time. I've been a vegetarian for a year and half now. Been really close to being a vegan but I LOVE cheese waaaay too much to give it up! Most dairy is gone from my life though. I came across a great Blog that has some REAL recipes for REAL households. I AM a vegetarian but refuse to search for items that I have no idea what they are or where to even find them! I like this blog because I know what the food is and can easily make adjustments to suit my dietary needs! Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do! Skinny Appetizers Skinnytaste
