Fresh Starts

Life throws curve balls and your reactions shape the person you will be. So who do I want to be?

I spent a lot of time this weekend thinking about recent actions, discussions, situations and what I really want. I'm somewhat bad in ensuring I'm doing all that's good for me. Either due to work getting too crazy or trying to accommodate the needs of others. So I've decided to make some small April goals- ranging in needs.

1. Enjoying the sunshine/freedom: Weekends are a time to de-stress, relax and live in the moment. I want to ensure I am making the most of those times, yes sometimes hiding in the house, doing chores and cleaning is necessary. But also sometimes its necessary to take a morning walk around town and sit in a coffee shop for a few hours and read, or going rollar-blading or a new adventure alone. So for the month of April, I want to make sure I take the oppournity to walk around and enjoy the little things.

2. Eat what I really want and what I really need: feeding my body the food its needs to live is necessary, and yes this can accomodate things such as lattes and the once in a while baked good but should mostly consist of fresh produce, good meals and portion control :D

3. Keeping that fridge/pantry stocked: I am bad at keeping up with groceries and when having them ensuring they are used up. Time to get creative.

4.Enjoy the physical activity I do: As you may already know I love Body Jam, its fun, hard work, makes me smile and gives a high like no other. I also have been enjoying yoga and need to keep these up.  So it's time for more classes and other outlets of physical activity. Because there is some changes my not-so little body needs to make.

5. Smile more often- do what I love: Self explanatory. :D

So let's see how we do with these. 



Here is one of my favourite pictures from my trip to Scotland in '09. So pretty, can't wait to get back there.
