It's been a while since I have been on this website. Due to covid no outside activity and just working Monday-Friday (essential worker) and going home eat and sleep. (This is a known factor for me gaining weight). I started buying new clothing in 2020 as I started you are worthy program and only keeping things around me that make me happy and serve a purpose for me these days. I have to admit that I bought some looks I have always wanted to rock like pleather pants and boots for a rock star look and some colors that I never would have purchased in the past. (My only weekend activity was to go to Amazon Hub or Post office to pick up online clothing purchases.) 2020 gave me the insight to realize that I was around a lot of low energy, toxic and negative people (This was also a reason for me to eat as they didn't build me up, but put me down and fat shamed me while preying on my kindness.) I basically had no contact with these people at all in 2020 and when this is all over I will never be connected with them at all. I spent 2020 locked in every night and all weekend as I am a high-risk person for covid. My healthy eating took a turn towards the dark side as I could not go to the grocery store every week like days of old.(I admit that I started going to McDonalds, Taco Bell, Arby, and Burger King. None of these places use to interest me but when everything is closed or out of business you go native.) I really was not motivated to do any exercise. I have literally cleaned every inch of of my apartment, so it looks like it has been staged for sale including fresh flowers for Valentines Day. ❤❤ (Started the fresh flower thing again about three weeks ago needing a happy focus on dinning table.)
I ended 2020 and the beginning of 2021 rocking a totally different hair style long and straight. (The people I see everyday said your stepping into the future with a new do. (No Joke shielded and gloved up to go to hair appointment, but it was worth it.) I saw my doctor in January of 2021 and my weight was 198 at that time. My doctor had gained weight, so felt that this was pretty much the norm for everyone, but I really need to get off this do nothing Bus at the next stop.
I am looking forward to finding the new me with the workout attitude of me back in 2006. (This person went into hibernation and covid helped me to discover what really matters to me.) Today I found a photograph of me in a slinky red dress that I wore to office Christmas party back in 2006. Everyone was drooling over me in that dress. (I had been working out with a trainer and hitting the gym every night and weekend for an hour.) I still have the dress as it's a classic look, but over the years and having life altering issues I can't get into this dress.
I am making this dress along with some very sexy lingerie my goal outfits for 2021. (It will take hard work to rock the dress like I did without any body tucking undergarments. Personally hate these garments as they make me feel like a sausage.)
The only place I FEARED to go into in 2020 was my closet to clean and organize.
Okay, this morning was the day to start the closet restyle. I literally went through the clothing and started tossing anything that was frumpy, had no fashion forward steps, outdated, over worked clothing (trust me still look like new as I take care of clothing but just wore it too much) anything that really didn't do anything to flatter my figure or should I say the figure that I want to get back. At the end of the day there is a garbage bag for trash and another for donation to Goodwill.
Today's outing was a 10 minute trip to the Amazon Hub to pick up my TRUE GLOW spa heated beauty mitten. (Desperate to get my hands back into shape dealing with tons of paperwork, hand sanitizer, bleach and I am so happy it arrived today as I have planned a home Spa day for myself for Valentines day. Spa day will begin with a morning workout, stationary bike ride (dusted it off after a year of sitting unused, not easy to miss as I put in my living room next to TV) A Facial, hand moisturizing treatment followed with a manicure and pedicure.
Since yesterday was the beginning of the year of the OX and no better way to push myself into a new year of new stars. The Rolling Stones song "Beast of Burden" comes to mind sung by Bette Midler.
