Fattened Up and Sent Out to Pasture

source

I told myself I wasn't going to blog about anything personal, but who the hell am I fooling.?  I can't help but put my business on blast, it's just what I do. So..with that being said, let me go on ahead and explain the meaning behind the title of today's post.

I started seeing someone.  He wasn't my normal "type," whatever that means, but we hit it off right away. Long story short, I was having such a good time that I totally forgot about the few pounds I lost and they happily found their way back to my waistline and more.

Well, I got two gifts for Christmas from my "guy."  I received a nice little gift bag one day and the whole "It's not you, it's me" speech the next. He also threw in the line "You will make someone a good wife one day, but I'm not ready for all that." That was like handing me a plate full of light, fluffy flapjacks then pouring motor oil on top. What the hell am I supposed to do with that b.s?!

But I digress, I said I wasn't going to harp on the whole dissolution of my recent partnership, but I can't help but be a little perturbed that I allowed myself to commit one of the cordial dating sins (if there is such a thing); forget about my weight loss because some fella showed me a little attention.

Now.. I refuse to make a New Year's resolution about weight loss, but I will definitely give it my all in attempting to, thinking about, considering dropping these few pounds one ounce at a time. 

Peace.

2012..A Year Not Wasted.

Being that I haven't regularly posted in some time now, I thought I would end the year with a little something. Like most folks, I did ponder over the year gone by and wonder what I could have or should have done differently to get better results from whatever I was trying to do.  Then I went back and read the few posts I did make when I started this thing and I learned one thing, no make that two things, about myself in 2012.

1) That whole putting the pressure on being "Fit by 40" thang was created with good intention; however, I realized that I'm happy with me just the way I am. No amount of pound loss will make me feel any better than I already do. (But I can't lie to you, I think it would be fantabulous to one day be able to stroll down the beaches of Maui in a two piece..however, I have learned to settle for the stroll in a nice sundress) 

2) While nobody put a ring on it this year, declaring 2012 as the year of the "Man of My Dreams" wasn't such a  waste of time after all. I met some great guys and learned a few things about myself in the process. One, that I am quite capable of compromise and number two that I CAN cook. Now, I won't be setting any relationship declarations for the year 2013, but I'm still holding on to the hope that he is out there somewhere. On this planet at least.

So, Happy New Year and may this one being even better than the last.
