It's all about me!

Yep, it sure is! For a change, it's all about momma now.  Between busy season having taken a toll on me this year, my approaching 30th birthday, and anticipation of my sister's wedding festivities in a few months, I have got to regain control over my life and start taking better care of myself.  As a mother, I tend to put everything else before myself.  Since work took over my life the past two months, I too often resorted to running through the drivethru for dinner for us.  It was just too easy and I was just too tired.  My daily runs to Sonic for a delicious drink after picking up the boys from daycare have got to stop too.  So it's time to start making myself a priority.

Starting tomorrow, I will venture into a healthier lifestyle, with better eating habits and a more routine workout regimen.  I feel like my body will go through withdrawals of the caffeine, chocolate, and the other crap that I fill my body with daily.  I know it will take some getting used to, but I'm committed to finally making a lifestyle change.  And I start a bootcamp on Tuesday; it starts at 5:30am. I know I will be cussing myself come 5am, wondering why in the world I would sign up for a workout before the sun even rises.  But the looming reality that I will have to be in a swimsuit in Vegas in two months with some skinny bridesmaids and a dress in three months, is all the motivation I need right now.  I don't want to be 'the big girl' in the group when we're hitting the town in Vegas.  Yes, I am that girl in comparison to my fellow-maids.

Not only will I be making some physical changes (hopefully!), I'm going to make some 'me-time'.  I used to love to read.  Then life got busy and I was too tired to read.  I even recently canceled my subscription to People magazine, because they were just piling up and being abandoned.  Thanks to my reading teacher of a sister, she recently read the Hunger Games and suggested I read it as well, and to catch up on all the hoopla surrounding the movie release.  Well, I read it, in two days.  I was back to my old self, reading a great book as speedy as ever.  Then I turned to our handy iPad, and downloaded the second book of the Hunger Games trilogy and read it in two days.  And tonight, the third one is downloaded.  I enjoy the peace and quiet, with no tv, no 'Mommy, Mommy'.  Now I have a list piling up of what books I want to read next.

But I'll also start the week off right, finally getting a haircut after 3 or 4 months since the last one.  And maybe a pedicure. :)  So, wish me luck on my journey!  Cause remember, if Momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!
