Itchy

Friday, May 30, 2008

I want to ask first to all my teams and fellow sparkers to forgive my selfishness.
I want to contribute again to the chats, challenges, and the requests for help.

But it seems since I've been gone I've been in my own world.

I don't socilaize often, and when I do I find myself extremely uncomfortable and jsut itchy everywhere.
Trying to come back to sparkpeople I noticed that I feel just as uncomfortable here as I do out there.

I wish I could be someone else, like Gandhi and Flea mixed together. But I'm not, I've stopped working on my self esteem and motivational issues and the progress that I've done is beginning to slowly untangle.

So I need this space to write of nothing else but myself. I also realize I need to begin contributing again, I am positive that restraining feeling of unfamiliarity will fade away again as soon as I jump in the water.

It's exactly like that, jumping in the cold lake, you hesitate to do it but once you're in it's so much fun.

Here's my personal goals I want to achieve this summer, I really have to get serious about this again.

1. Get my weight moving and in the right direction again.

2. Complete my half marathon training

3. Pay off the next credit card

4. Continue reading books

5. Spent most of my time outdoors

6. Self-esteem, let's get it going up again

What I am really proud of is all the books I've been reading :)

and all the biking I've been doing :)

and the running...... :I meh, I'm getting fitted for running shoes this weekend though!

I don't think I found what I was looking for...and the only artwork I managed to complete is a Flea sketch.

meh

    oh how you've been missed. i'm glad that you're here and focused and getting on your goals. you know that we'll all be here for you whenever you need support. and maybe on here, you just need to find your new niche. maybe the old things need to be reconsidered and changed if necessary.

    Mmm, I LOVE reading outside. Do you bike somewhere special to read?? That sounds like so much fun and so peaceful to me. Don't worry about how you're feeling, you'll get there sweetie. BUT do work on it!!! Please!! You don't need to be Flea or Gandhi, you're pretty freakin' cool, and you'll only get cooler if you work on the things about yourself that sap your self-esteem. Wub and snuggles.

    I have been in a rut myself. Let's see that sketch!

My list is almost the same as yours. The good news is you are here, and that is the first step! Don't be hard on yourself.
