It's the new year already!

Jan 01, 2009

Happy New Year!  I don't have very high hopes for it myself, but my prayers and wishes are that we will all find peace, good health and happiness somehow in the new year.  2008 was a stressful and sometimes disappointing year that left me with a weight gain I'm still bummed about but still fighting.  Maintaining my good health is never a 'finished' thing and I always remember that working with my food plan is key in that goal.  It isn't always fun, isn't easy but IS important.

Resolutions aren't really my 'thing' but here are a few I will sort of tackle: 

To be READY for the big holidays in 2009 and not let myself get so stressed out by lack of preparations next Christmas. 

To scale back my gardening pursuits...trying to 'do it all' just left me overtired and feeling depressed last summer.  Less will be more and much more satisfying. 

Continue the efforts I've been making the last couple of years to keep decluttering the house and life in general.  Too many years of being a pack-rat makes for a crazy life.  I'm old enough to know to fix it instead of just living with it and whining about it. 

And most importantly...being diligant about my weight.  ABSOLUTELY NO MORE GAIN and trying to maintain at a lower weight, even if I never get back to 130# is a must.  A must. 



To start the New Year right, I went to bed early (had a 2-day killer migraine to conquer) and to start the day right a hot, decaf protein latte.  Later on a heavy-protein 'treat' breakfast to celebrate the holiday: one egg, 2 cottage cheese pancakes and sugar free syrup and 3 oz. leftover Christmas ham.  Yummm!

Since I leave my Christmas tree up till Jan. 6th, I won't be dismantling it today like a lot of people but I think I *will* start taking down some of the household decorations and start feeling like I'm accomplishing something good. 

Happy New Year!
