1. I took the time to look through my disaster I call a wardrobe (most of which is either hand-me-downs or big enough to fit so I just wear it) and decided it was time to figure out my style. What do I want to look like? What kind of person do I want to portray? What hair style, clothing and accessories do I want to wear? These questions really perplexed me, but excited me at the same time. My entire life I followed my mother and sister's styles. Now it is time to find what I LOVE (notice I didn't use 'like.' I need to feel passionate!)
So what did I do? I spent a bit of time on Pinterest, which likely is just as addicting as sugar--I must be careful, and found some fashion that I LOVE! I am having fun with this and really enjoying visualizing how I am going to look as I take my journey to fabulous. In fact, I even donned an autumn purple scarf this afternoon as an accessory. I haven't done much with style lately so this was a big step.
2. I watched a documentary about eating whole foods and found it extremely motivating. I have been way off on my understanding of how my diet should be and especially understanding guidelines of what should be eaten in moderation. There is a song from Sesame Street that explains to kids that "a cookie is a sometimes food." Hmmmm. That simple, huh? Why did I think that a cookie is the close to every stinkin' meal?!!! So I made a menu and went grocery shopping following my new found guidelines and hoping that I can teach my children to eat healthy while they are young. Then they won't have to deal with the psychological break down that I am I going through. There are so many foods that are supposed to be 'sometimes foods' but in our society we make them dietary staples. Time to fix that in my life.
Gotta keep this good thing goin'!
Awesome post. I have always thought you eminently stylish and wanted to do things more like you. (If any strangers are reading this, Megan has fabulous hair and enough confidence to pull of any style she wants.) You have inspired me.
