Like many people, I find it easy to fall into a love/hate relationship with my body. In my twenties, I spent too much time obsessing over my hair-I wanted it to look just like a character on General Hospital. But no matter how much I tried or where I got my hair cut, I couldn’t get the perfect amount of volume in my hair. As it turns out, the actress had cut her hair short and the producer’s made her wear a wig for the entire year. It’s pretty hard to compete with a wig. I’ve been working out in the early AM for about a year and a half and have gotten so much stronger. My balance is better and household tasks (like gardening) have gotten so much easier. This year, I’m working more at bringing my eating under control. As it turns out once you are 40, it becomes a little harder to shed those extra baby pounds. Technically, these are my pounds since my “baby” is now 5. Anyhow, I try to focus on the positive while still trying to achieve my goals which was what the above little pep talk was about.
