One thing on my long list of new year’s resolutions was to blog more. As we can all see, that didn’t happen. In fact, I sort of regressed into the unblogosphere (better known as real life) without putting pen to paper anywhere, even my journal. Well, that stops now!
In an effort to catch all -13 of my readers up, here are some new and exciting things I’m doing/have happened/in my perspective on things:
-I joined a popular weight loss program that had ads on TV every 5.6 seconds and rhymes with Bait Botchers. So far, I’ve lost 7lbs and I’m supremely happy with the way it’s going. I’m addicted to the app I downloaded onto my phone and am constantly searching foods and recipes. It’s not painful and that is what I think the key to success will be.
-I’m trying to live life without any regrets and I’ve realised I regret not telling people what I think more. I’m a pretty outgoing person but there are times in non-Boy-related disagreements, I try to be too PC or agreeable. In one situation, I thought that would save it from spiralling out of control. It didn’t. I have now realised that it more has to do with the person you’re dealing with and how they can take honesty or situations. Life’s too short, so if someone else can’t handle you, your opinions or how you handle things (if you’re a normal functioning member of society, I mean. I’m not talking about criminals or the clinically insane), well, eff ‘em. That way you can keep the good in your inner circle and the negative far, far away.
-I’m trying to say yes more to social situations. I focused on some of the wrong people over the past couple of years and pulled away from others, so in an effort to regain connections with those I can relate with more and are good people, I’m trying to get out there as much as possible. It’s like dating but with friendships. And it’s been great. I had been ignoring way too many good people for it to be legal.
-Along with eating better, I’ve also vowed to shop less. That one is harder. I try to stay away from websites as well as shops. So far so good but this long-weekend was filled with aimlessly clicking emails with deals. No purchases yet. But it’s so hard! I found two cute sweaters at Gap, a nice dress at Old Navy and three pairs of discounted boots at Aldo. There was more but I’m limiting what I’m admitting to because well, it’s really unhealthy how much time I spent window shopping on my computer.
That’s a good run-down of some stuff. Let’s hope my resolution will keep in this month. You see, that’s why I make a long list of them – you’re more likely to have at least one of them stick.
