Being Just Melody

Well Happy New Year to my lovely friends and readers… a few days tardy!

I have to admit, I’ve been pretty slacking in the ‘updating personal blog’ department. I will say it’s for semi-good reasons. I’ve been busy with some other projects, getting my design firm off the ground and things like that. However, I’m going to try to update more this year. I don’t believe in making New Year’s resolutions… I never keep them but I do make goals and this is one of them.

I definitely plan to add more tutorials and product reviews. I have lots of looks, plenty of products, and a new HD camera to make sharing even better. As soon as I get a new tripod, I’ll get that going. My brand new one was stolen from my car! Right before Christmas. Ugh, but let me not get aggravated thinking about that foolery!

Also, I hope to bring more opinion posts, just my thoughts on life, motherhood, current news and so forth. If you have anything you would like to discuss, shoot me a comment, email or tweet.

Have you see Avatar? I took Mini Me to see it in 3D and was totally amazed. Everyone was talking about it and I kept thinking some of it was all hype, but I have to admit the movie is visually stunning! I don’t know how high James Cameron was to think of this futuristic world, but it was pretty amazing. Seeing it in 3D is a must!

Well, I just wanted to drop this note you all…

Make sure to check back and I’ll make sure to post soon!

Dear Self,

Get off your ass girl!

It’s time to reboot the system and get back to working out, because you know what? You’re not as young as you look and you body doesn’t do what it used to. Those cookies are sticking to your thighs and those drinks settled right on your hips… The pants are getting tighter and you’re just not comfortable. So it’s time to move.

Love, A Complicated Melody

So this is my public commitment to start working out. I have been avoiding it like the plague! But something has to be done. It’s summer and I can’t wear my cut summer clothes feeling pudgy… Running works for me, so I think I’m going to stick with that. I’m so not a morning person, so late evening runs it will be. Plus, I promise to use my Wii Fit that I paid all that money for.

I don’t diet. Period. BUT I do believe in portion control. The less you put in, the less you have to work out. I don’t count calories or grams of fat. I don’t cut out carbs or meat. I just less of what we know can be bad and stop when I’m full.

Sometimes you have to challenge yourself… So I’ve said it. Now I have to stick with it.

It is evident that I am just not meant to have creamer at work! Damn.
