A Healthier, Happier, PCOS Me!

    Today is January 2nd, 2011! Happy New year everyone! So, I was inspired by Nicole (from QueenNicolesRevolution) to starting off this new year on the right foot. For many reasons I hated the year 2010. It was probably one of the worst years of my life. I struggled with the acceptance of many things and am slowly trying to move past them. I won't get into what made me so upset because that would be totally ruining the whole point of this blog, but I'm making a promise to myself that 2011 will be nothing like 2010. I have this weird thing about numbers, I usually hate odd numbers but for some reason I really have good feelings about 2011. In order to make this year better these are the things I want to do.

     First, I am going to start eating healthy. I am not going to go on a diet. The word diet to me means something that is more for the now and not the later. It is usually short lived and usually requires "cutting" things out. My goal isn't about loosing weight. I just hope that's something that comes along with the changes of what I put in my mouth and how much of it I put in. Because I want to get pregnant I know I need to loose weight, but right now the most important thing to me is just being healthy, not becoming a nutritional freak. I know what things are "bad" and what things are "good". I just need to allow more of the "good" things into my diet on an everyday basis and allow the "bad" things every once in awhile as a treat. That's another thing...I remember being a kid and going out to dinner was a wonderful, exciting treat. Today, going out to eat is an everyday way of life. I want to make going out to dinner exciting again! which means, not doing it every week.

     Secondly, I want to be more of a person who enjoys life and doesn't dwell on the negative things. Everyday we live on this earth is something to celebrate. We all have ups and downs but I think I need to remember more often that there is someone out there who has it off a lot worse then me. So I just want to not get caught up in negative, catty things and just live everyday to the best of my ability.

     The third thing, this would be doing more activities with my husband. Trying to have a baby has taken over our relationship and even though we can say we are both together at home a lot we really aren't spending the time together that I would like. He may be downstairs playing video games or watching tv and I may be upstairs doing my own thing. I defiantly want to do more date nights, even if its something small like watching a movie together. Our basement needs to be re done and now that the weather is getting cold, and we aren't doing a lot of outdoor activities, I look forward to us picking out paint colors together, painting together, and picking out new furniture for the basement.

     The fourth thing would be just being a beautiful me. I don't think anyone is always happy with their looks but being the best looking you for that time period, I think is really important. You might be overweight, but loosing the weight you want most likely is not going to happen for you over night. For me, I would love to be 40 pounds lighter. Until I do become 40 pounds lighter I want to be the most beautiful overweight person there is! That means, taking the time to get up in the morning, styling my hair, doing my make up and just making myself look more presentable, just taking pride in the way I look. Some people may think having nice clothes, or having nice looking hair or makeup on is vein, and you shouldn't be worried about those things because it's the inside that counts. I wish I could be more of a person who "didn't care" but I do, and looking nice on the outside makes me feel good on the inside, and that's what this resolution is all about. ME. Making myself happier, and that's at no one else's expense!

     Well, I think that's it. I wish you all luck with your new year's resolutions and hope you all blog about them. I think  its a fun way to share whats been going on and a year from now it would be interesting to see what changes have been made in your lives. Oh, one other thing...I am shy about my weight and would most likely never put on here how much I weigh until I actually lost all the weight I wanted to loose. But, starting tomorrow morning I am going to weigh myself to get my "starting" weight and then from that point forward weigh myself every Friday morning. I will be blogging more, updating you on weight loss/gain and any struggles, concerns, or exciting moments a long the way! Good luck everyone!
