Goodbye 2011

2011 has been a great year for me, I couldn't be happier with where I am in life. For so long I have always wanted more or wanted to be doing something different but as I sit here I can say I am content. Sure, I could use more money and hell I would love to be thinner but life isn't about what we don't have it's to appreciate what we have right in front of us. I think it was an awakening when I realized my friends are getting married, having babies and my own babies are growing up in front of me. Life is way too short to sweat the small shit. period.

Because of this way of thinking I was able to accomplish my first 5k! 

and FINALLY try on a pair of Skinny Jeans!! 

I'm welcoming 2012 with open arms and I look forward to another year of self awareness and accomplishing personal goals. Food is no longer a chore for me, it IS a way for me to entertain and a way for me to socialize and show others how much I love them. We are told countless times to stop looking at food as a crutch but I feel when you reach a point in your life that you have a personal relationship with what you put in your body and no longer fear what you're not supposed to eat then you truly enjoy life and what it has to offer.

I look forward to having our afternoon popcorn while little man sleeps and just talk or draw together. 

I look forward to him taste testing dinner while playing with cars on the kitchen floor.

I look forward to night time ice cream runs in our pjs on hot summer nights. 

I also look forward to Chinese food and a bottle of wine with my amazing husband.

Life and memories revolve around food. Embrace it because it won't last forever. Thank you 2011 for making me be comfortable in my own skin. Happy New Year Everyone!!
