Today I love (4)
I thought I’d give you a little life update today since some of you have been asking how things are going with Eric being back.
It’s been mostly wonderful, amazing, fantastic and perfect. It’s been a little bit hard. Living together/living apart/living together/living apart/living together etc. means that every time a change happens there’s a bit of adjustment process. Or, in our case, a few fights about silly things as we re-adjust to each others lifestyles and habits. So I’d say it’s been 90% perfect, 10% hard 
Yesterday we ran a bunch of errands and stocked up our fridge since it was getting pathetically empty. Side note, my (our) grocery bill is about to skyrocket. Boys eat a lot.
We decided to reminisce our time in Paris and picked up a French baguette, some French cheese and some olives to go with the red wine we already had at home.
I had the following plate x 2ish and a big glass of wine (Eric poured). We then chilled on the couch and watched a movie. It was pretty much fabulous.
OK, on to today’s LOVE post.

This blog post is part of Caitlin’s change the way you see, not the way you look week.
As part of change the way you see, not the way you look week I am going to post a picture of something that I love about myself and/or my body every day this week.
To be perfectly honest, I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with my arms. On one hand, I really wish they were more toned. And no matter how much I work them, they don’t seem to reach the level/look that I want for them.
On the other hand, my arms and shoulders have allowed me to do one of my favourite things all these years: swim. They’ve also held me up in countless downward dogs, carried bags upon bags of fruits and vegetables into my house, hugged many special people, lifted up children and babies and help me do up to 10 real pushups in a row (next goal is chin-ups: Eric just put up a bar for us yesterday)!
So, today, there is no love/hate relationship. Today, I LOVE my arms.
What do you love today? Kudos to all of you who have been following along and posting a new thing with me each day
Hmm, My 5 are: hands, face, hair, calves and boobs
haha I have a hard time picking 5 because pretty much I can come up with SOMETHING I hate about each bit. A bit frustrating, but I know I need to love my body more than I let myself!
Glad Eric is back. I always joke I should make AB pay for 60% of the groceries since he eats WAY more than I do and/or wants the $$$ processed stuff. xoxo
Dude. You are ripped! You should love your arms! Good luck with the grocery bill!
Today I love that I can “sink” into my body. I’ve been doing this thing in yoga called sinking breath (okay I don’t know if it’s really called that but that’s what I call it), where you tense up and then release your breath and really sink into your pose – whether it’s down dog, shavasana, whatever. I’ve been doing that at night when I get in bed and I love that my body knows how to respond. Plus I love that I can be relaxed enough to do it!
sounds like things are going great with eric back! i love my arms too! hehe
I think your arms look great! I have a love/hate relationship like that when it comes to my butt. Guys say they love it. I think I hate it.
And that French inspired dinner looks ah-mazing and now I want some cheese, bread and olives
Glad that things are going well for you and Eric so far.
Yes boys do eat a lot! We will have dinner and then my fiance will go find something else to snack on. Drives me crazy!
You have great arms! We bought a chin up bar recently too, but I have yet to be able to do a full chin up. They are hard!
Moving in together is always an adjustment. Andrew and I have lived together for almost 2 years and are still adjusting, haha.
I love my breasts today – yep hehe!!
I love my lips today!
Your arms look awesome, lady!
And your little appetizer plate/wine? Delish. My heart aches a bit for a crusty baguettes… it is going to be a little bit tough to go to Paris in Feb and not eat my weight in baguettes & crepes. Stupid gluten intolerance (wipes tear from eyes). Oh well, I guess I will just have to make up for it by eating way more cheese!
Today I love my eyes. I have really dark brown eyes that are super expressive. Many people have told me I am so readable (I am so not good at poker as a result). It used to bother me that I was so readable as I felt that my eyes betrayed my ability to keep my feelings inside. But as I age, I don’t mind that my emotions are so readable. It’s what makes me me, and I think it makes me way more approachable or easy for people to relate to…
my mouth is watering over those olives!
I definitely agree about boys eating a lot more! I swear there have been some things I’ve bought and never saw again or even got a chance to eat!
Seriously you are ripped!
Glad things with Eric are going 90% good…I’d say life in relationships is 90% good anyways haha. I think I told you this on twitter but I hear you with the grocery bill. Oh boy. I have started to just mentally adjust my attitude as far as money goes, especially when it comes to grocery bills. It does not do anyone good for me to be pissed at our grocery bill. It does not lower it. So I just zone out when we pay and think about other things. Haha, it actually works!
Your arms are amazing. I hate my arms. But, today, I love my entire body. Because it’s beating, alive, and well. I don’t have any health problems and just need to start treating it better.
(I had a coworkers husband die unexpectedly last night and it’s really got me thinking about mortality.)
How funny I just posted about loving my arms too!! Yours are looking fierce lady!
