Youthful Reminder

Gosh, look @ those legs. I love how fit I was during this time of my life! This is 1992 & it's 17 years later; so, essentially, I am 2x older now than I was in this photo. CRAZY. It feels like yesterday.
So, I'm going to post some goals here. While I'm in my mid 30's, I understand I have to realistic since my lifestyle is much different now than it was then.
OK: First TAN!- this summer I am spending time at that beach. Tre' and I hit up the beach twice last summer and I really enjoyed myself!! So, I need sunlight and I need a tan. My tanning booth cost about $100 for 5 sessions since it is the UVB free bed. Cliff did tell me the other day that I need a tan - he said it not to be mean but my new hair color sort of calls for a bit of a tan. So, I'm going to start tanning this week. I have to admit - I miss tanning - but frankly, when money is tight that is the last thing on my mind & I refuse to go in the other tanning beds. I don't want to look like leather skin.
OK: Second WALKING! - this past summer I started to do some walking with Tre in his wagon. When spring comes we are hitting the pavement again. Till then, I'm hitting the treadmill 1-3 miles 3x a week.
OK: Third DENIM SKIRT & BOOTS! - I have to get into the old Nikki outfit staple and hit the town. Well, lately, I have been buying new dresses and honestly the dress I had on for Valentine's day was super hot. My point, I need to get ready ready 1x per week - even if just for work!
OK: Fourth HEALTHY SNACKS! - I've already started this. So, no big deal. I've been watching what and how much I eat. I need to just step it up a notch.

I do not induldge in myself as much as I use to; mostly, well, DUH! I am a mom and wife and a full time working and a half time graduate student. I won't have my youth always however I will stay as youthful as possible.
