I know this is a totally random way to introduce myself and this blog. I like random. I tend not to be very good at blogging, but I'm going to give it another go. It isn't a resolution, but I am hoping it can help me focus on my resolution.
Happy 2015! Thank god 2014 is over. It was not a stellar year. It was epic in its suckage. So for this bright, shiny, brand new year, my resolution is a simple one - Love Myself. I lean towards self-destructive behaviors, so this resolution speaks to me right at the moment. I'm really proficient at hating myself, so it is time to turn things around. My self-destructive behavior of choice is over-eating. But it also includes mentally beating myself up, over-analyzing the simplest of decisions, drinking more than I should, and embracing sloth way too much. I also apologize for everything. Perhaps my resolution should include not saying "I'm sorry."
I love facebook, twitter, pinterest and instagram. So expect to see lots of "sharing" from these sources. Like this one.....
Seems easy enough, right? I really don't want this to be a weight loss blog, but I'm sure it will come up. I really don't want it to be a brag blog about my running pursuits, but I'm sure I will discuss my focus on getting back to loving running. Let's see where it takes us. What else should I tell you?
- My writing style should be considered informal. I really haven't diagrammed a sentence since the 10th grade. I do believe there should be two spaces between sentences. I love exclamation points, a little too much!!!
- I am not really good at running but I want to be. I just wish it wasn't so hard....
- I hate mushrooms and broccoli. And most vegetables. I wish it wasn't so.
- I love avocados, beets and sweet potatoes.
- I find it counter-intuitive to eat paleo for weight loss, because I watched my mom try to lose weight from eating tuna fish, green beans, and fat-free Italian dressing. Which in restrospect is paleo, minus the dressing. Anyhow, I like bread and other grains. And cookies and crackers.....a lot.
- I'm not an athlete but I dream of being one. I have a new running coach. We start on January 5th. This should be interesting.
- I also have a personal trainer. Yes, I spend a lot of money on athletic pursuits even though I am not an athlete. I need a sponsor, but I don't think Nike is going to contact me anytime soon.
- I have issues with my mother. She has issues with me. Apparently we are balanced.
- I love living in Denver.
- I love my job but hate the travel associated with it. Suck it up buttercup.
- I am single and for the life of me, I can't figure it out. I'm a good catch. I'm not a drama queen. I'm patient, loving. But I must be boring and I lack a bitchy attitude. I think guys like the hunt and I haven't ever considered myself prey.
- I have the best friends. I don't think any of them are hiding their botox use from me....
