Bullets, Ho!

It’s a bullets kind of night, peeps…. in no particular order:

  • Welcome visitors from We Are the Real Deal, Miz Fit and the other blogs that linked to me today in their “Exposed” posts! Since junior high I have had an issue with my body– I am so glad REAL women are talking about what REAL bodies look like. We DON’T all look the same, and we should be proud of what we have.
  • Missed breakfast again today. While I slept really well last night, again, thank goodness, I woke up late for my orthodontist appt and forgot to grab something to eat. By the time I left that office (in the burbs and later than I thought), I was late for another appt at the outplacement service that is helping me find a job. By the time I was done there, I was starving and it was 2:15pm! I grabbed a Potbelly’s skinny turkey sandwich, and a bag of baked lays. It was good and I ate it ALL! :-) I realized a few minutes ago I never ate dinner. What is with me forgetting to eat lately???
  • I walked 6,000 steps today, but never got a “formal” workout in. I am happy to say not only do my pants feel a tiny bit looser, I had to buy new “interview” pants today and they we the same size I normally buy (good news that I didn’t go up a size like I thought I did!)
  • I GOT FREE CHOBANI YOGURT IN THE MAIL TODAY!! A WHOLE CASE! Now while that might not sound too exciting to some of you that get free stuff to try in the mail all the time, I am SO EXCITED about this. I won it playing Twitter spoons on their website. It is my favorite yogurt, but it is pricey, and with me not working right now, I can’t afford it. now I have 24 WHOLE CUPS to myself!! YIPPEE!
  • While I haven’t posted about it, I have been in COBRA and insurance hell the past few weeks. I think everything was figured out today. Thank GOODNESS.
  • My birthday (b-day is Friday) and Christmas gift from my mom is a new DSLR Camera! I got the check today in the mail and can’t wait to go buy it. Beware, my blog is gonna be picture-fied for the next few months… lol…
  • I keep forgetting to tell you all about my new inspiration buddy, Fatinah!! She is an amazing person and I am so glad to have her as my motivational buddy. Please check out her blog and say hi!
  • I paid off 2 of my credit cards today and it feels SOOOO GOOOOOD. Welcome to adulthood, miss almost 32 year old!
  • The cats decided to poo outside the box tonight. Mr More has no idea what to think about living with 3 other cats. He is calmer than I thought he would be, though he is still being a pissy old man and is totally set in his ways.
  • There is alot of bloggy drama out there right now. I am so happy to not be part of it. SOOO many other things to be worried about right now that whether someone likes what I write (or not)…
  • aaaaand, fin. I have got to get to bed. I am tired, and tomorrow will be spent at the DMV trying to get new tags for my car. Joy. Expect alot of “I’mmmmm BOOOOOORED” tweets in the AM. :-)

How was your day?

Lose my Body Issues

Today is National Love Your Body Day.

And I’ve been exposed.

To tell you the truth, I haven’t been loving my body lately.

Through lazyness and stress from moving across the country, I have gained 25lbs in 6 months. I have been b*tching and moaning lately that I am Faaaaaaaattttt and huuuuuuuuuge and that I should be shopping at “Cedar Rapids Tent and Awning” for clothing… and I realized…

I have to stop bad mouthing myself.

I don’t have cancer.

I didn’t recently lose a family member.

I am loved by my family and my friends.

Though I am unemployed as of next Friday, I have skills and savings. I will make it through this.

I would NEVER say the things I have been saying to myself to someone else. So why do I say them?

So today, I am doing something I NEVER thought I would do. I am following in the footsteps of Roni and Mary –all started by this amazing lady here.

I am posting a photo of my body. The body that I am learning to love. And maybe I will learn to love myself during this process.
