Just Gotta Be Me

After a good start in 2012 of revealing "the REAL me," 2013 will be a continuation of healthy habits to see how far I can go. It will also be a year of moving out of my comfort zone with relationships, career, and communicating in general.
I do well when I focus internally, but its a little harder for me in the outside world. This year I will try to balance a little more of each.

After a good start in 2012 of revealing "the REAL me," 2013 will be a continuation of healthy habits to see how far I can go. It will also be a year of moving out of my comfort zone with relationships, career, and communicating in general.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2012 has been the start of not "the new me", but in fact, "the REAL me." After several years filled with health issues and relationship implosion, I finally found the road back to me. SparkPeople has been a big part of that.
I rejected the idea that the person I didn't recognize in the mirror was who I was. I rejected the idea that I was too old, too frail, or too tired to do the things I used to love: hiking, dancing, climbing, trekking, travelling.
My goal was to just feel like myself again and look like myself again.
I made travel plans, joined hiking groups, and started learning better healthy practices. Cooking even (something I never did before).
My major victory AND motivation to keep going was a program I followed from BodyBuilding.com. Jamie Eason (a fitness model) had a regimented 12-week training program called LiveFit. This has weight training and diet components to it. I completed the program, with the support of a great SparkTeam, seeing amazing results for such little time. This not only gave me strength, stamina, and the smaller body I used to have-- but actual HOPE that I CAN be the person in my mind's eye. I CAN do the things I "used to" love to do. and I'm not going back.
There's more to be done, but now I know I am in control of it. Its MY choice. And I choose ME.

Ahhhh.....cardiio :) I still have a love/hate relationship, but I'm working on my issues with...any bit of cardio does help-totally agree. Hey you still wore a bikini, even if it was just a top and with another bottom- still qualifies as a two piece :)

Have a fun weekend!! Why do I have a feeling that this one will be an extra special weekend? emoticon

Babe!! So sorry for the late reply. Things got superrrrr busy for a minute, I totally understand how so much needs to be done in so little time.

I really like how you broke down the tasks into achievable goals. I get so overwhelmed and snarly when I'm faced with the things that must be done. Plus I need to chill when I start to feel that way....


Gurl!! Fiyah!! You rocked a Suit!! "Insert a high five here" :) I love it!! I know you looked good emoticon emoticon emoticon

Us girls are determined to rock 2013 looking fit, sexy, and healthy!!

PS: Costa Rica sounds so dreamy.....

Thanks so much for your support on my blog! I never really wanted cats, but living close to the humane society, there are some strays in the area! She wandered up to me, all cute and cuddly, and skinny and declawed...and here I am with a cat! emoticon

Do you have dogs, or fish, or other pets? Have a great week!
