I had a different blog, but decided to create a new one -- a fresh start so to speak. It's Christmas Day, and I think one of the best gifts I can give to myself is a healthy body and a healthy mind. I'm working on losing weight/eating good/T-Tapping, but also working on seeing myself as okay as I am. Not that I want to stay where I am *I don't*, but to be able to at least be okay with myself in the process. I was on a vacation to FL last week, and I did something very *oh-my-work-I-can't-believe-I-did-that* for me: I bought a swimsuit and actually went in the pool. Seriously, this is HUGE HUGE HUGE for me!!! I haven't worn a swimming suit probably since I was 11 or 12 or something *which is really sad actually* I won't say I was comfortable sporting something that covered so little of me, but I made myself do it, and I'm actually kind of proud of myself for doing it.
Okay, so here's a bit about what I'd like to accomplish. Right now, I'm about 160 pounds, 5'2.5", and wear a size 12 pants and usually a M top. I'd like to be anywhere from 120-140 (but really don't care) and a size 6-8 and toned, get rid of my thick arms, huge thighs, muffin top.
Has anyone watched "How to Look Good Naked"? I recently saw it, and thought it had a really good overall message. I think I'd be a prime candidate for it, lol. I'm working on changing my mindset though. It's just pretty difficult. Anyways, I'm going to try to stop focusing as much on my "problem areas" and list a few areas that I like: I like my hands -- I have long, slender fingers. My hair is okay, and I have kind of narrow shoulders (don't know if that's good or bad--if the rest of my body matched, I guess it'd be good, lol) :)
I am so excited because I will be doing an online class with Michelle from Jan. 1- March 31, and I'm also planning on doing the 60-day self-directed T-Tapp Challenge during this time as well. Oh, and my dad lost a bet with me, so now he has to do 2 weeks of T-Tapp with me :) We're gonna start today with Instructional #1.
I have much to be thankful for. I'm thankful for my health and that I have the opportunity to improve it. I'm thankful for T-Tapp and everyone who's been encouraging. This year will be the start of a new me!
