So, I'll be 37 in a few days and I am continuing on this path of self-care/self-pampering/brightening my inner light, if you will. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I abused myself or anything like that, but let's just say . . . I haven't felt like I was putting my BEST foot forward. Again, your girl looks damn good (!) ;), I just want to be "on point". The reality of it is, when you are in shape, you not only have an abundance of clothing options, you tend to feel awesome physically and mentally because you are taking care of YOU. Self-care is so important and the effects trickle down/flow outward in other areas of your life. It is soooo true!!!! When I take the time to make sure my "foundation" is on point, I feel so much better and this positive feeling emanates from within. I find I get a lot more compliments then as well (not that I ever look for compliments). The reality of it is (well, my reality anyway) that the Law of Attraction is in full effect. When you are feeling good about yourself, people can pick up on that energy. Anywho, I also love it when I can look at my body and appreciate it for all it can do as well as for how I look.
I completed my 12th Physique 57 workout today and it's quickly becoming addictive. I can see the progress I've made (completing the plie "sprints" w/o stopping) and my arse and legs are getting tighter. Maaaan look . . . watch me when I lean this body out!!!! I might be on somebody's nude beach somewhere, lol. I plan to post pictures, but I'll wait until I'm at my "after" and then show a comparison.
Also, I've recently gotten semi-obsessed with Goodwill! Did ya'll know they have a weekly "color" and every item with a tag that color is 50% off?!!!! Hayell yes! I want to build my wardrobe and focus on thrifted pieces for now. Hey, I am self-employed with a son in college and a teenager and a mortgage . . . shiiid. =D Stay tuned!
That's all for now. I'll be watching "Scandal" tonight and I can't wait! *Hee!* That show is so well done!

What's new in my life . . .
Not much, lol. I've just been going about my business as usual. I always feel I could be more on my grind and I'm making a concerted effort to do just that.
I can't believe I didn't mention a milestone event in my life?!!!! My firstborn "J" went off to college this Fall and is doing GREAT!!!! He's loving it and has made friends. I'm so very proud of him. :) My younger son "J" is a Junior in High School and is getting himself together. He has been making good grades and enjoying himself. I'm learning day by day how to deal with teenagers . . . simply ignore them, lol. He tries my patience on the regular, but sometimes I simply say, "Okay J" and then tune out anything else. I don't really like to argue.
On another note, I've been back from Barcelona for almost two months. "T" and I still communicate regularly. I really like him (perhaps a bit more than like). He has shown himself to be genuine about developing and maintaining a friendship with me. Even though I feel a bit more than friendship for him, I like that we are getting to know each other as friends. He's not "spitting game" at me or trying to sell me dreams. I'm learning to be patient and to wait on God's divine timing. I know that what God has for me, is for me and my happiness is not tied to one individual. I have been referencing 1 Corinthians 13:4 regularly: "Love is patient, love is kind . . . ". I plan to visit Germany in the Spring. :)
Okay, so I'm back on my Physique 57 routine. I've decided that I don't have to be such a perfectionist about my workouts. My previous goal was 4-5 workouts per week for four weeks straight before I could purchase the second series. Well, when I would fall short of that, I would feel like I had to start all over. Pshah! My current goal is to complete 21 workouts and then I will be able to purchase the second series. Today I will complete workout #10. :) I like this way much better because I'm still completing around the same amount of workouts while cutting myself some slack.
Anywho, that's about it for now. I'd really like to work my way up to making more regular posts, but I'll start with babysteps. Bye! :)
