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

According to Steve, I’m dressed like a person who would live in this house.
It is spring after all.
Early arrival gets a close encounter with a certain monarch butterfly.
Just yer run o’the mill slackers. Oh if you could hear the snores.
Grey day.
My husband is handy. These new porch light fixtures are definitely worth all the blood he lost during their installation.
The look she gave me when I told her tomorrow is Monday.
Party in the elevator💕✨
Last night I learned that Nick is a pool shark. The more you know!
It’s been awhile since I’ve been in a place like this and I have to wonder why.
Sign of a good night.
She is a thing of beauty.
The best part of this journey is I’m not sure where I’m going.
But really, can we talk about that sky? 😍
Special delivery! Didn’t your ponytail palm arrive on a hand truck?
