This is Me

Chrissy Metz, one of the stars of This is Us, just released her autobiography and of course I ordered it the day it came out. I think all girls who have struggled with their weight relate to each other. It's nice, or not so nice, to know that someone else has gone through what you have. When reading her first few chapters today she talked about thinking about what you really want in life. Picturing what a day would be like in your ideal life. That got me thinking, and I actually asked my husband the question too. I always think about how small pieces of my life would be different if I had this certain job, or if I weighed a certain amount, or if I lived in a different place. But thinking about them all together gave me something to envision and work towards. I don't know why I never thought about this before. For my own motivation I wanted to write down what exactly that day looked like to me, and like Chrissy says, put it out into the universe.

I wake up early, 6:00am, well rested because my baby is sleeping through the night now. I go to the gym and do a class and I feel great. I have tons of energy and I'm not struggling to make it through. I don't imagine myself at a certain weight, just at a healthy weight that I feel good at, I look good, and I feel comfortable in my skin. I of course live in a place where it's sunny and bright most of the year so I can enjoy the outdoors. I imagine my house being on the smaller side but decorated very cute, with lots of natural light. It would be clean and organized and have a bigger kitchen for spending time cooking. My fridge is stocked with healthy food that is meal prepped and organized.  I would make a healthy breakfast with my husband while Rowdy plays. He's well behaved, of course ;). I go to a job that I love, possibly in administration at a hospital. One where I don't have a boss looking over my shoulder and I have the option of picking my schedule. I love the people I work with and I love going to work. At the end of the day I come home and Dax and I make dinner together. We sit outside on a beautiful night and talk about our day and what we have planned for the week. We go to bed in a big comfy bed with lots of pillows :) .  We are debt free, living within our means, have a good savings, and have money to travel when we want.

Well there it is, out in the universe. Something to aim towards and motivate me.
