I know that one of my goals is to read more, watch less TV, but I HAD to start watching this new show (not because I think it's going to be good, but rather ridiculous). The concept: women who are engaged compete in challenges (centered around planning a wedding), and the winner get some kind of plastic surgery done (the two winners on the episode I watched got a nose job and a boob job). Out of control ridiculous, right??
But it did get me thinking a lot about body image, and a little part of me was jealous that those women got to (quickly) become more and more like the perfect version they hold for themselves. Don't get me wrong, I am not about to run off and get plastic surgery!! But, I can only hope that if I stay with the healthy diet/exercise kick, I'll eventually have a happy image of myself again, too.
In a second, unrelated note, I am finding it REALLY hard to be motivated to do much today. I know I have to be productive, but it's going to be SO HARD to say good bye to two whole weeks of relaxing and doing absolutely nothing. In the classroom, I used my breaks to plan... THis was the first real vacation I've had since college (4 years). And even though I'm well aware that this is a ridiculous job perk, I am still a little resentful that I have to go back... Oh well! Here's to starting Round 2!
