This coming year, I have decided, is going to be the year for me. I have spent the past 19 months (29 if you count pregnancy, 33 if you count miscarriage and recovery - which wasn't really a recovery at all) with my mind and body fully devoted to another being.
I'm not complaining. I am a mommy and an infant pretty much needs every single bit of your attention.
But now that Georgia and I have this gig down pat, it's time to get back to focusing on me. We are in an awesome new home that needs to be decorated. I want to get out and make more friends. I want to be that old me, who was confident, had an awesome wardrobe and freshly trimmed hair. I want to be able to wear above-the-knee skirts and not worry about wobbly thighs.
In other words - get this momma out of her Lululemon and back into her stilettos! I mean, I wore heels to the hospital when I was in labor, for Christ's sake. Get those babies down off of my shoe rack and back onto my feet!
I'm going to slowly but surely get
- Make a fitness and eating lifestyle change. This one is in the works & I'm excited to tell you all about it! I'm tired of feeling lazy and not being physically active, and we have DiGiorno way too often around here!
- Somehow overhaul my wardrobe on a very tight budget. I'll probably only be able to buy a few things a month, but I want them to be things that I will LOVE and wear often. I'm also going to purge my closet of all the things I don't see myself wearing anytime soon.
- Get back to seeing my stylist, Stephanie, more often. I am in absolute love with this hair color and I just emailed it to her to see how she thinks it will look on me.
What about you? Do you have any resolutions yet? I'd love to hear them!

I just wrote this exact same post. I feel and hear every word you are saying. Let's do this! 2013, here we come!
I know where you are coming from. Last year I started I started focusing on me more with working out and getting ready etc. however by October and another m/c I kind of got into a funk... I have a lot of the same goals for next year.
Here's to 2013 being one of the best yet!
Making yourself a priority as a mom is tough but SO necessary! I think your simple changes will lead to big rewards in the personal satisfaction department :)
