Days 15 and 16

Alice in Wonderland....how did we get to blubberland... Halloween is right around the corner and I was super petrified that my costume from last year was going to be a little more Ursula and a little less Alice. But get out your pinkie fingers because we are going to a tea party. So relieved that it fits. I don't even have to suck in to zip it up. I will be a breathing, white rabbit chasing, stripper shoe wearing Alice. Next year my goal is going to be to wear whatever costume I deem, not just what costume will fit. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Immediate goal, Holiday Party. Gotta get physical, physical... So I might have been slacking in the working out department. I have been so busy that it just hasn't happened. I know, I know not really an excuse. But with a full time job, kid, extracurricular projects, Project Runway it's hard to fit it in. I need to schedule time for myself because this is a priority. I recently had a conversation with a friend from high school and one of the first questions he asked me was if the 2009 Lesli is still overextending herself. That was an eye opener. Apparently I have been this way for a very long time. I need to learn to slow down. I read an article with Sheryl Crow the other day and she said that taking care of yourself isn't selfish, it's selfless. If you don't save yourself first you can't save anyone else. I need to change my mentality. I have been so worried about everyone else for so long that I stopped worrying about me. Having said that, I am off to stretch for a while, and then off to bed.
