So, yesterday, I threw myself a little pity party. This week has been very stressful, and when I get stressed, I get down on myself. I think it all boils down to the fact that I had big goals at the beginning of this year, and I wanted to be at a certain place by my birthday. I'm not there. However, I have accomplished a lot of things since starting the blog, and I want to focus on the positive.
- Started and continuously kept up with this blog
- Kept up a continuous yoga practice
- Started running again
- Had days where I had over 1000 readers!
- Focused more on art work!
- Have been in talks about doing my first mural
- Met lots of lovely people through comments on here
- Learned how to make vegan sausage!
- Got one step closer to being an architect, and dealt with a little failure
- Had a real moment of self acceptance
That last one was probably the highlight of the year, and although I haven't felt that happy all the time, I hadn't had a moment like that in a very long time. It's a glimpse of what's to come if I keep taking care of myself. So, I won't beat myself up about not losing even a clothing size. I have gained a lot of understanding about myself, and I'm happier than I have been in years.
Things seem to be progressing a lot on the art front, and I've had a lot of inquiries lately about paintings. While I'm a bit backed up, I started a Facebook Page where I will be posting updates, ways to see prints and new paintings online, and eventually even a place to purchase new things. I post to my Vanishing Veggie page often too, so now I have to figure out how to keep up with both. Oh social media.
Anyway, enough self reflection. What did I eat today?! Work was super stressful, but I kept it healthy. I skipped the option to eat out with my co-workers, although I was tempted. I opted for my healthy lunch instead. I even found time between working late and getting ready for guests to make up a healthy dinner! I didn't really do a good job tracking calories today, but that's a battle for another time.
My girlfriends are coming into town for Birthday Festivities, so I'll have a huge recap for you on Sunday. My actual birthday is Tuesday, but I'm the kind of person that celebrates a week before, so it should be a good time. On the schedule: healthy taco night, yoga, hiking, picnic, Rock Town Distillery Tour, dinner at Lilly's Dim Sum and some Pinnacle Mountain climbing. My mom is also throwing a huge luau complete with Vegetarian Times recipes for Labor Day, but there will be plenty of time to get excited about that next week!
This is a good idea - to step back and look at the big picture. We really should remind ourselves of what we've done, not just what's left to do. I'm making my list now.
