As 2013 comes to a close I am quickly nearing the end of our annual two week holiday break at work as well. In our last team meeting we talked about setting a goal for the break, and mine was to complete at least one sewing project. Technically I did, but it was no where near as complicated an item as I was aiming for. But I may still make it, I still have the rest of today and tomorrow to work on a black wool skirt. Even if I don't complete it, I won't feel bad because I have been busy working on something every day and have not just been sitting on my behind watching TV. I also cut out a blouse to start sewing next after the skirt is finished. Gotta keep the momentum going!
One of my other goals was to stay active, and walk at least every other day. With only two exceptions I accomplished that. Walking more is part of a larger goal of improving my health that I have been working on all year. I am working to get healthier and fit in admittedly small but sustainable ways. I am trying to be more realistic about what is going to work for me long term so that I don't end up giving up like usual if I don't see results right away.
I have never smoked or drank, food has been my vice. It has been hard to admit it, but I gained weight from eating partly as a way of building a wall around me, literally and figuratively. Part of that whole issue is that I am also working very hard to stop the self-defeating internal dialogue that I have had going on for years. That is a much harder battle to fight, but I'm trying. In that vein, I decided to treat myself to some flowers today to ring in the new year and bring a little color & cheer into my life. Here's to a Happy & Healthy New Year in 2014!
