2010 Is All About Me!

So a few of my blogs have featured some workouts, thoughts or things I've been doing to better myself. I was talking with a friend the other day about things we wanted to accomplish this year and came to the conclusion that 2010 is all about me!

It sounds selfish and it is, but in a good way. Not in a way like I'm going to keep all the cookies to myself sort of way. I mean 2010 is all about me and bettering me! Everyone has imperfections and can never be perfect, but bettering myself in certain ways can only make me feel better about myself.

I've been practicing positive thinking and trying to look at the good things not the bad things and it seems to be helping. I've been trying to make little goals and accomplish them and of course give myself a reward for doing this. (I must admit that I did get this from The Spark, a book by SparkPeople.com, whom I work for). But I'm not going to lie it's working, just check out the shoes in this blog I got for completing the push up challenge.

So, each month or so I'm going to try to do something to better myself - whether that is physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually. Sometimes things may cross into other months or etc. but it's all about bettering me! Making myself healthy all around!

Things on my list right now:

1. Not letting what others think get me down - this is going to be tough because I kind of worry about what others think too much and shouldn't. I know the people around me love me and who cares if I don't always make them happy. I'm going to do what I want (note: I care about others feelings and consequences at the same time, just talking the small stuff - shall I say don't sweat the small stuff)


2. Complete the 200 sit up challenge - Just because I liked having the push up challenge and strengthening areas of my body that are weak.


3. Widdle My Middle 30 Day Challenge - 2 days in and testing the theory. I'm taking measurements and pictures, so 30 days from now I will let you know the results. Why do this one? Cause everyone hates their midriff unless you are Jillian Michaels.


4. Live love in the moment -Ok, that sounds weird and odd. This is a tough one to put on her cause I don't like to share my lovey feelings out loud often but I owe it to myself. Basically, live in the moment of love and where it stands, trust it. I have some of the best times in front of me for love to grow.

Best part about putting these out here is the reward and aftermath of accomplishing them. Completing one just makes me want to set another and keep going...a positive spiral. Plus, at the end of some I get great rewards like shoes and dresses. And the reward for others can last a lifetime. I've come to find once I make the change I want to stick with it...like I will now do push ups more often cause I like the results - the work was well worth it.

So, my theme of the year 2010 is all about me!
