Day 5

Crash, Burn and Rise from the ashes


Well, the lack of sleep and post-partum hormones resulted in whole sleeves of Oreos being consumed in a sitting, much snitching of cookie dough mindless snacking.  


This is not fabulous.  I've lost sight of who I want to be.  


Forget calories and dress sizes, I want to be the kind of woman who can come face to face with a pan of brownies and just eat one.  I want strength, grit and gumption.  I want to choose what goes into my mouth rather than have my habits choose for me.  I want to savor food rather than taking the garbage disposal approach.


Fabulous means being the leading lady not the quirky best friend or sidekick.  I need to channel Irene Dunn, Barbra Stanwyck, Rosalind Russell, Katherine Hepburn, Sarrah Rafferty, Sandra Bullock ...  I mean, I am married to the ultimate leading man (think Cary Grant meets Jimmy Stewart with a hint of John Wayne) and I want to make him proud as much as I want to make me proud.  This mountain mama wants a touch of the great and the glamorous.


Of course that will come slowly.  But come it will.


Now, I am going to bypass the Oreos and go grab an apple.
