WODs & Well-Being

November 16, 2012 22 Days of Thanks 2012 - Day 16 I am thankful for my kick ass friend and hairdresser! She is amazing, fantastic, and one of the best people I have been lucky enough to meet! We have been together for as long as I can remember. She has seen me through my first perm (hello 80's), all 4 proms starting my freshman year and continuing through graduation... my wedding day and everything in between! Convinced me to get highlights, wax my eyebrows, chop my hair for locks of love... twice, and with every step I trust her 100%! Thanks Jen! You are one of a kind! Keep kicking ass!

November 14, 2012 22 Days of Thanks 2012 - Day 14 I am thankful for a special treat. Today I turned 32. Its kinda funny... I have to actually think about my age when someone asks me how old I am because I cant really believe that I am over 30... let alone 32. Not that being over 30 is a bad thing, or I am old or something... because I know that I am not. Sometimes I just feel like time is passing by but I am staying the same age. Clearly, thats not the case! I can say that I felt amazing last year on my 31st birthday, I was on the up and up... getting my shit together and heading in the right direction. I have to say, 365 days later, I am feeling even better than I thought I ever could. If you asked me at 30 how I was feeling it would be a totally different story. I am so happy and proud of the changes I have made in my life. Now, that special treat... this was my mission on the way home from work. Hubs was stopping at the store to get the good to make me an incredible Birth...

November 2, 2012 22 Days of Thanks 2012 - Day 2 I am thankful for my determination and drive. When I think about where I was a year ago, I just cant believe it. I am extremely aware of the changes that have happened physically, mentally and emotionally in myself and I am beyond proud that I did not give up, give in or get frustrated when times were tough. Through my life I was taught how to set goals, push for them and reach for the stars. I have realized how important it is to keep MYSELF happy. That if I am unhappy, it will show in all aspects of my life. When there is something that I feel should change, I have to make the choice to change it. When I have a problem, I have to address it. A little over a year ago my negative attitude was keeping me from being the person I wanted to be, the person I really am. It was bringing me down, and worse, it was bringing the people around me down. I have learned to love myself again. I take pride in what I have done and where I am goin...

October 26, 2012 Why is it that women find the need to treat Halloween as an excuse to slutify EVERYTHING. For crying out loud. I went looking for a costume and Hubs and I couldnt believe what we were seeing. First off... they have everything from skanky police officer (get original at least) to Finding Nem-ohhhhh (I kid you not, I actually saw a slutty finding Nemo costume). I mean I get it, people like to show off... and Halloween is a night you can "show" but holy bageezuz, if you are looking for something that covers your ass you cant even be Harry Potter, because somehow He is a prostitute too... What The Crap! I did find pieces of a costume... and I am pretty happy because I get to wear my gym clothes with it! Hubs also got one. Not his favorite holiday by a long shot... but we have two parties to get to and he is required to dress up! We will have a good time!! Mark this down... I swear to god... if I ever have a teenage girl, I will have some major issues come H...
