This is the year - I can feel it!!

It's Friday!! It's Friday!!! I'm doing my it's Fridays dance :)

It's been a very long time since I've been this happy, and SO excited!!

I really believe this is my year :)

First of all Miguelito is off from school all of next week - Ahhhhhh!!!!

My head was so full of worries and thoughts, that I didn't even realize this fact until yesterday - Ha!

Where have I been?

Miguelito doing homework in Subway (that is Miguelito's small coffee from Dunkin Donuts)

Silly Miguelito and his silly faces :)

My new running sneakers - Reebok Zigtech Sneakers

At Central Park - ready to Rock & Roll - Can you see the ice?

The Central Park Reservoir - full of ice and snow

The street where I live, from way up high on a mountain in Central Park

I have been busy getting back to running in Central Park :)

To help me out, I bought myself some pretty comfortable pink Reebok Zigtech sneakers!

After I dropped Miguelito off at school Tuesday morning, I marched right over to Central Park, 

stretched and started crying! 

Yes! Total break down!

As soon  as the icy cold wind hit my cheeks, my heart started aching.

And a quote popped in my head - from one of my recent reads

"People think of heaven as a paradise garden, a place where they can float on clouds and laze in rivers and mountains. But scenery without solace is meaningless.
This is the greatest gift God can give you: to understand what happened in your life. to have it explained. it is the peace you have been searching for."

- Mitch Albom's: The five people you meet in heaven

It has been a long time since I've been at peace with myself, for so many reasons which can not be said out loud, not yet at least. I can talk about one of them though which plays a big part of it,

 it has been my body image.

After Miguelito was born my weight slowly started creeping up on me. Can I really say creeping up

on me? I'm not sure, sometimes you notice things but choose to ignore them, always saying tomorrow I will 

do it, tomorrow everything will change. Until one day you realize that it's been 1 or 2 yrs or even more.

For me it was 4yrs later that I finally realized that enough was enough, I hadn't noticed how bad it was until I realized that I'd slowly stopped taking pictures with my Miguelito. That's how much I despised looking at myself. I couldn't even look at myself without thinking "ugh-look at that flab", "look at that double chin", 

"look at how fat I look".

It's been almost a year now that I realized how STUPID I was being, I was missing out on precious 

moments that will never be relived again, only remembered through pictures and memories!

 It was also through this blog that I started taking pictures of me again  and was able to post them 

so others could see.

I realized it was now or never, for me it was NOW!!!

I've learned to love myself even more, 

I Love my smile! I love and embrace my oh so sexy Curves :)

Including my big butt and big boobs :)

I love my toes and fingers,

and I especially love me for who I am.

I love myself inside and out!!

From head to toe and skin to bones!

Beside's running through Central Park, I've been getting ready for this Sunday, by doing some special shopping. Ahhhhh!!!! Sunday is a very special and exciting day!!!
