About Me

My photo
I am a thirtysomething that is consumed with the art of daily living. I love my child, my boyfriend, my friends, my home, and my life. I struggle with some of the fundamental questions in life, much like most thirtysomethings. I am probably a little Sex in the City meets Princess Bride meets the Matrix.

The 2010 Thirtysomething


It is my first official post of the new year...only 20 days late. What a way to start. Work has been insanely busy and I have been trying to up the workouts to achieve some sort of body transformation before my brother's wedding this summer. With all of that, the past 20 days has inspired me to reassess my goals for this year. Of course, this would assume that I do not assess my goals throughout the year, but New Years seems like a good time to prioritize my ever growing list. So, in no particular order:
1. Be more consistent. I know this is super broad and somewhat nebulous, but I am a very random person and in order to achieve more of my goals, I need to set this as one of them. For example, my diet is pretty "clean" but I have been stuck at the same weight for a while now. One issue I have is that I continue to believe that "just one cookie" won't hurt....which is true, but it won't get me to my goal either.
2. Live in the moment more often. I am by nature a "type A" personality...which means I am always trying to figure out what is next, how it will get done, etc....I have a very hard time relaxing and truly appreciating this great life of mine. Living in the moment for me means consciously choosing to be present and enjoy things more.
3. Have "do-it" vs. diet attitude and thought process.
4. Be more patient and put myself in other's shoes...especially my teenage daughter.
5. Be brave...I don't know exactly what this means yet, but I do know that alot of changes are going to occur this year and I need to be brave and face them instead of complaining or ignoring them.
6. Do 3 things that will get me closer to being my own business owner.

Ok, that is enough for one year. If I can manage all of that, I will be an extremely balanced....and busy thirtysomething.
