Confessions.
I look in the mirror everyday and tell myself "I like the way I look"....naked.
Yup. I actually do that.
At first it was horrifying (at least I felt like it was), and I had a hard time doing it. But let me tell you, I am actually okay with my body.
I have got curves, and I am a little "soft" but thats not really what bothers me...now.
My health is what terrifies me.
A few nights ago I was having some night time anxiety, and when Tom woke up to ask what was going on all I could think about was "I don't want to die because of somthing that I have control over but don't do anything about."
My last doctor visit we spent some time discussing my weight in relation to my health. Very bluntly she told me that if I lost the weight that my future health would be significantly better, not to mention being proactive could reduce future problems (goodbye risk of diabetes!). There is nothing more grounding than a verbal whooping by an M.D. <- This seems to be a trend with my recent medical visits..hmmm.
It's no secret that I am not the best at taking care of my body the way it should be (or wants to be) so this is a big goal.
Next topic: a life coaches approach to finding and reaching your goals. This ones fantastic!
Much love.

A new day
Recently, a friend of mine told me I need to come back.
I was on hiatus. I wish I had good reason, but no. This is kind of what I do. It's sort of the story of my life. I begin something, am really excited about it then slowly lose interest or find something else that is more exciting and leave -what was- behind.
I initially wanted to post at the very beginning of January, but I am glad I didn't because it gave me some time to sort out my future goals.
I, personally, have an issue with making resolutions. Mostly because I never keep them. Never.
Jessica sent me an e-mail today with her 10 goals for the New Year, which gave me the kick in the butt I needed to put mine down in writing. However, these are my life goals, not just for the new year.
*
1) I will be more conscious of my intake AND my output.
-By this I mean that I will make a concerted effort to be aware of what I am putting into my body on a daily basis and I will give my energy back to to world -in this case exercise.
2) I will give more output or positive energy back to the world.
-By this I mean my attitude. I have been making an effort the past few weeks to say hello to all my co-workers in the morning. I am the WORST morning person and I usually get into work around 7:15 with a pretty crappy attitude. By starting with something small like saying "good morning" to others I am already feeling better about myself and my output. Now if I can do that when I first wake up (Tom would probably like morning Kate a whole lot more).
3) I will cook more of my meals and eat less of them "out."
4) I will tell myself everyday that I am not just good enough but fabulous.
-This, by the way, makes me FEEL fabulous.
5) I will wear earrings more often, because they make me feel pretty.
6) I will freak out about money less.
-This happens more than I care to admit.
7) I will read more.
8) I will tell the people that I love "I love you" more often.
*
And I think that this is a good start.
I am hoping to get back to blogging more often, not daily, but at least a few times a week.
So that's it for today. I have a snow day tomorrow, and have several blog topics to explore. Stay tuned.
Also! I want to tell Jessica that I LOVE HER! And I am so glad that I made my way into your goals for the year! xoxo
