That time of the season

So, I can only assume that it must just be that time of the season when everyone starts either getting self conscious or getting motivated to start losing weight and trying to better themselves because I can't tell you the number of people I know who are "jumping on the diet bandwagon."

Though, I think them doesn't fit exactly what I'm looking to do here. I'm looking to achieve beauty in a variety of forms including:

• Improve my body's exterior and interior
• Improve my beauty regime
• Improve my living space
• Improve my wardrobe
• Improve my self confidence

How do I intend on doing this?

Improve my body's exterior and interior

Progressively add a comprehensive physical fitness regime to my daily life including cardio, strength, and flexibility training to help lose weight and tone my muscles.

Create a lifestyle change in my eating habits by:

Reducing consumption of refined sugar

Increasing my water intake

Decreasing gluten and dairy intake

Counting my calories

Restricting protein intake to vegetable proteins and fish

Increasing fiber intake

Drinking more oolong and green tea

Taking daily vitamins and supplements including calcium, vitamin E, C, and B

Drinking apple cider vinegar

Follow a more comprehensive beauty regime

Daily

Wash face 2x/day with milk and honey

Condition eyelashes with almond oil

Vitamin E to moisturize sensitive areas

Full body oiling/lotioning

Pre-shower body brushing

Full Sunscreen

Weekly

Deep conditioning treatment for hair

Epsom Salt Bath

Facial

Pedicure/Manicure

Full body exfoliation

Improve Living Space

I just move into the living space of a pack rat- no joke, a clinical hoarder. To be honest, it's been driving me absolutely nuts and I've been alternating between being frustrated and angry and being horribly depressed.

So, I need to quit pissing about and put all my energy into making this place beautiful and inhabitable.

Yesterday. . .I took 7 bins worth of trash down to the curb as well as several large items like decaying wood and moldy carpet. I have to keep up this purge and decorate and clean at the same time.

Improve Wardrobe

Is this a strange one to post? Well, I'm a fashion designer, yet I don't create and design nearly enough. When I'm not working on purging the home, I'd love to be able to make myself new outfits not for cosplay, but for everyday wear. I've found that the outfits I love wearing the most are always the ones I make for myself. Hopefully, I'll be able to incorporate this in my quest.

Improve Self Confidence

Ideally, putting through all these changes should result in an improved since on self confidence because I will be achieving my goals.

I'm just getting tired of feeling bloated, tired, and unsuccessful all the time. If I can get done what I want to get done, I think that I will recover that high school "can do" state of mind and become a more successful and productive individual.

So let's see how it goes!
