NEW DAY; NEW DIET

I’m feeling better this week.  Well enough, in fact, to take my dog for a walk last night.  I tend not to write when I don’t feel like I have anything positive to say.  I don’t want this to be the place where I come to whine all the time.  (Once in a while a person has to vent, but constant negativity wears on me.  I get enough of that at home.)

 So, aside from some problems with the Boy and one of his classes, things are going well enough that I am thinking about making some changes.  I need to make my health more of a priority in my life.  Right now, it is not a priority at all.  I eat and drink the wrong things and spend most of my time sitting or lying down.    I’ve started to let things go that used to matter to me.  My skin is a mess.  My hair is a horror.  Don’t even get me started about my nails.

Again, it is the struggle between other’s needs and my own.  This and the struggle to realize what is really going to feel best in the long run.   I kind of wish I had a Mommy sometimes who would tell me what to do all the time, because the voices in my head just argue.  The intelligent part vs. Instant Gratification Girl is a constant battle.  So…

This weekend, I have made an appointment with my favoritest hairdresser.  I’m throwing caution and $$$ to the wind and having her fix my haircut and give me back the lovely golden highlights that I love so much.  It will make a difference every time I look in the mirror and will make me feel a little like a girl again.  (Instead of a pile of biscuit dough.)

This last weekend, my treat to myself was buying new underwear.  I cannot tell you the last time I bought underwear, but it was a doggone long time ago.  I also restocked my casual t-shirts so that I would have more “throw together” outfits that fit and don’t have stains on them.

I’m really looking forward to spring.
