Blessings, affirmations, grace, and reflection

Lately on the weekends I automatically wake up at 9:30 AM. My commitment has been to get going as soon as my foot touches the ground. I had fallen into a lazy mode where if I wasn't up and showered by say noonish it was pretty much a wrap for that day. I got up and started moving today. I think it is because I am increasing my energy by changing my dietary habits and vitamin regime. I was so sluggish for so long. I am beginning to feel like my old self. I spent last night playing music and dancing. I danced the blues away.   Woke up to gospel music playing. Watched CBS Sunday Morning. I feel like once that TV goes on or the laptop is cracked open my time is sucked away. I am also hoping that I can maintain it. Now that I think about it, I am still fresh off of vacation mode so I am still relatively refreshed. I am committed to treating my body better this year though. I am going to cook a head of cabbage and some lentils to eat this week. I was going to do red beans, but I w...

I'm really serious about staying on my lifestyle changes this time. I'm in that mindset where I have had enough and this is when I make major changes. The dietary changes are solid. I'm staying the course. It just requires that I shop more often because I am eating fresh food. This is definitely going to be an issue when I go back to work. I haven't yet had the nerve to go back to the gym or start doing any exercise yet. I really wanted to today, but it wasn't enough to get me in there. I'm also getting concerned about this rash on my arm. I don't know if it is related to my dietary changes or an outside cause. Looking it up on the internet is the worst thing I could have done. I'm going to to try a few things out before I go see a dermatologist. Now that I think about it I should probably be taking my apple cider vinegar daily. That usually clears everything up.

So I realized that it's now time that I start living like a "grown up." I also realized that in order to live the lifestyle I want to live I can't do it alone. Not with these student loans on my back. So the next plan of action is to find a husband with a decent salary and good credit. This seems to be the only feasible way I will be able live the way I want to live. In order to make that happen I have to step up my game. Operation find a husband is in full effect for the remainder of 2011. Making sure hair, nails, brows are always tight. Getting the body right and tight. Getting and staying focused on the bigger picture. Changing my priorities. A woman's got to do what a woman's got to do!
