take better care of myself

I do take care to be relaxed. I do take the opportunities to learn new things. These things took years to accomplish. I just need to physically take better care of myself. Have a ballet class today and will work tonight which means at least ten miles of walking. I love how it shakes my body up.

Still didn’t lift any weights. I work my seasonal job tonight and every year I lose weight doing this. I don’t really have much weight to lose but I know the miles of walking will help tone me. I get to have a new kind of exercise in my day. So while I’m making extra holiday cash I’m toning my body. It beats paying to go to a gym.

Has been on my mind to lift weights at home. I can tell I need some upper body work. I’m just not sure where to add it in.

Had a fantastic ballet class. We worked harder than usual because it was just me and H. Usually for other people we do the class as a beginning class and I always can get alot out of it but I’m capable of so much more those easy classes have made me lazy. I’m sore in that good way.

Now that the air is dry and cold I promise myself to pay more attention to my skin. I will use lotion every day. I miss the beautiful skin of my youth. I’m not as old as I make myself sound – maybe I am. I just feel like I look old. I can see the signs of aging and it really bothers me. Mostly I think because I do nothing about it. Apparently it’s all a state of mind but I can’t latch on to that. I’m 46 and the elderly people I know say I’m a baby. I need to listen to them because they’ve been there and they know things.

I like to see this goal on my list each day. It’s a little reminder. In many ways I do take good care of myself. It’s in specific ways that I don’t and I want to focus on. This goal pertains to my appearance. I’m tired of saying, what happened – I use to be cute. I’m also tired of aging and doing nothing about it. I never knew that it would bother me so much. So this goal is a reminder to myself that it’s okay to do things for me because it will make me feel good about myself.

Went to the salon. It felt great and I’ve got a sassy do. It was so nice to be pampered that I’ve decided to go more than once a year. It altered my intire mood.

I can’t believe I make a salon appointment once a year and I forgot all about it and missed it. Somewhere I need to stop the spinning and put myself up front.

I have teeth whitener somewhere. It’s on my list to pull it out and put it where I can see it. It’s funny that I pulled all these simple “take care of myself” ideas off of someone’s entry. I love how I’m inspired by others entries.

That’s it. I’m not even going to finish this entry until I make a salon appointment for myself…..........I did it. I have a salon appointment for a style and eyebrow arch. I am so proud of myself. It’s been a year since I’ve been in a salon.
