Happy birthday me

SparkPeople sent me a birthday email and I love what it says. I'm a little emotional today because I'm not loving the larger number of my age and I'm entering that T.O.M (which sucks because I am really trying to get prego.) Maybe that is why I was extra moved by the birthday message. But truthfully, for a while now I have been moving in the corn-ball direction and trying to remind myself daily of the principles mentioned below.

What matters most in life is often viewed as peripheral to the things that we usually focus on. Passion takes a backseat to production, wellness to working, and balance to busyness. The old adage that “life is not a dress rehearsa” is so true, and yet we act to the contrary by putting off what is truly important or indulging in things that are not. On your birthday, stop focusin on your age and start meditating on your life at this exact moment. How can you make it better? During the next year, reshuffle your priorities. Spend more time with family and friends, take care of your body and health by eating well and exercising regularly, and offer to help others in need. Discover what matters most to you , and make your daily life into a true reflection of those ideas, beliefs, and attitudes.

I might read this every day for the next year and see if it really changes me.

Working out is still going strong and awesome. I weighed in at 179 this morning.
Happy Birthday
