In The Works

Click Photo For Etsy Shop

I have a big post in the works titled “Why It’s Personal” and all the things I’ve been learning and experiencing in the past couple of weeks since reading Brain Over Binge. I will also explain some of the methods I’m implementing and my goals.

February is looking good! This month I’m working on a Spring Wear it Well e-course to come out March 5th. I’ve got six new models of all size ranges and styles lined up to be featured in the book, plus 175+ pages of information that can actually be applied to your closet as-is. This is most exciting to me, sometimes I feel like magazines only feature clothes that are not very wearable or way too expensive. My goal is to provide real-life solutions for wearing and transforming what we already have and new ways to go shopping.

Adding Structure

 

(I made lemon and raspberry jam pancakes this weekend! Check out my other blog, Beautiful Layers, for the easy recipe.)

This week I’m adding a little more structure to my weight loss efforts. I feel like I’m getting the hang of my new, no-binge eating habits and now I’m ready to add exercise and a weekly weigh-in.

This week my goal is to do four hours of cardio and one hour of strength. On Friday’s I will post my exercise tally and on Sunday’s I will do a weigh in. I feel good about this.

I also want to start adding outfit posts on a regular basis. I want to do this to push myself to get dressed on busy at home days, and also to track my weight loss through photos.

So there’s that! How was your weekend? Things were pretty quiet around here. Lots of cooking and working on projects.

My Spirit is Bright

That sounds like the lyrics to a church hymn, but you know what I’m finding out? When I’m listening and engaging my higher self, the world seems brighter and everything is more clear. Food is not fear, it is love and so much more enjoyable when I’m not eating it in excess. I’ve been cooking and baking up a storm, which is obvious from the looks of my kitchen, and I truly love it more than I ever have. And not only that, but I’m excited about life in a way that I never have been. I drank the kool-aid guys.

When I listen and follow what  I need and want in my life, I wake up clear and excited for the day. It feels like opening the windows on the first day of spring. Is anyone else experiencing this after reading Brain Over Binge? I’d love to hear about it.

Lately, I have the energy to do make things happen. Things that I normally get so overwhelmed with and just put on the back burner. One of my dreams has been to create and maintain a creative living blog, so I’ve been polishing off my Beautiful Layers blog these past couple of days. It’s hard to believe I’ve had that domain for seven years, and this one for six. What the what?

Other stuff that’s happening? I’m seriously thinking about returning to University to finish my degree in fine arts/ graphic design. After watching my bff Jas graduate with honors, I was seriously encouraged and inspired to finish my degree. I feel like I am in a different place now than I was when I first when to college. I also feel like I’m more capable of learning and studying new information without the whole rebellious streak. We’ll see.

Today I’m getting back into exercising after taking a week off due to a wonky back, which is now on the mend.
