Once upon a time, I used to be a fit person. I didn't own a car, I walked or rode my bike every where and I did power yoga at least three times a week. I don't do this anymore. I could use the excuse that I now have a pretty demanding full time job but the former me did all of those aforementioned things while going to school full-time and working nights at a bar. So, what happened? My lifestyle has definitely changed. It's not nearly as feasible for me to commute on two feet/wheels as it used to be. I've broken down and bought a car and honestly, the 9-5 schedule is just not conducive to being physically active. This is especially true when you're not a morning person. I have always wanted to be a morning person. I have fantasies about waking up at 6:00 am, drinking a cup of coffee and rolling out my yoga mat to do some invigorating vinyasas. I dutifully set my alarm only to pitifully hit the snooze button until 7:45. I will literally hit that thing 15 times. I know this all sounds so ridiculously woe-is-me. I know that if I really want change to happen, I will make it happen. So this blog is an attempt to bring some accountability into my life. My goals are simple really. I want to lose the 15 lbs I've gained since moving to C'ville two years ago, I want to start to establish a home yoga practice and I want to commit to cleaning up my diet. I'm a hopeless Virgo and these things are important to my sanity. Health and wellness make my world go round and I can say that for the last two years I have been happy but not well. My happiness comes from being in a wonderful relationship, having a great job, getting to travel and to finally having some much needed stability in my life. But, being the consummate perfectionist that I am, I am not satisfied. There is a sense of discipline that is missing from my life that needs to be cultivated. So here's to change...to commitment....to emotional stability ..... and to fitting into my jeans.
