Finding Motivation

J.D.Weatherby January 28, 2016

Last year, around this time - I was so proud of myself. I was working out 3 - 4 times a week, I was drinking my meal shakes and forgoing my coffee and pastry stop, my clothes fit - even if I wasn't sure they would. I wasn't in the most perfect shape, but I felt great. Then something happened.

I started canceling my evening classes because I had to work later.  I was traveling a lot more, so I suspended my class membership at my favorite barre class. On the road, morning stops at Starbucks and dinners out after long production days sounded way more appealing than my shakes. I started to feel it within a month of getting away from my routine.  And I thought: it's OK.  I'll get back to it next month. Or I'll get back to it after this or project is over.  Or. Or. Or.

Welp -now it's January, in a new year.  And I have yet to find my rhythm. Boy am I feeling it.  Sluggish, neck/back/shoulder pains. My skin looks dull - thank goodness for CoverFX palettes, primers and life-giving blush!  I can't stand in my stiletto heels as long as I used to.  And my clothes - let's just say I feel like I'm in sausage casing - all the time. 

This weekend, we're moving to another temporary place before our final move (seriously, this has been the longest escrow process ever).  And although it will be a little farther from work, I'm excited about a backyard (here's where I envision my super efficient 28 minute workouts taking place) and we'll be in a neighborhood suited for late night walks/bike rides.  And I can finally cook at home - something I haven't been able to do since October (not counting my Christmas extravaganza). 

Anyway, check out my small arsenal of motivation above. Here's to forward motion! XO

Yesterday I wore my red beret and green pants to go tree shopping. When we got home, we turned on some holiday music and drank glogg while we decorated.  New fave thing to do when we buy our tree: make new ornaments! Could have been more precise if I had smaller brushes, but I’m okay with them ❤️ PS- that little mouse ornament at the end is not homemade, but reminds me of The Fool.
Hope everyone has a very Happy Thanksgiving. Love, me and this heart-shaped spud ❤️🥔
It was a beautiful day for an attunement 💗✨
I come from a long line of plant ladies.
Perhaps my flight was cancelled last night so I could see the sun rise this morning. New perspectives.
