So here it is, day one of a whole new year. And what have I spent it doing? Well I made a nice breakfast for my family, did a few loads of laundry, put purple hilights in my 10 year olds hair, tried to fix a few of my own greys, and cleaned out old clothes from my dresser that either no longer fit or were just ugly and taking up space. The 'no longer fits' issue is always one I face. Seems since graduating from high school my weight has fluctuated up and down and up again, although basically settling into the same numerical space in the end. Well, until recently that was the case. Seems hitting 40 brought along a few extra pounds that have now replaced my old average. I'm not a New Years resolution maker - seems I never stick to things when I'm pressured into them. Plus I think it's kinda silly when people make physical resolutions to begin on January 1st. I mean, come on - we have the day off from work so do we really wanna spend the day eating carrots, celery and salad or sweating for hours at the gym and waste a full day to be lazy and eat junk? I think not. But hey, that's me and I enjoy chances to be a lazy bum since they seems to come so rarely. Plus if I did that, I'd hafta write it here in my reality blog and then be accountable to maintain my resolution when I'm not ready to commit yet. I do want to get fit - don't get me wrong. But first I have to figure out my course of action and a goal - at least a short term one- before I fully commit and publish it here for the world to see. I got an email from Weight Watchers today announcing that i csn join for FREE!! Those sneaky little people who prey on the subconscious thoughts we have floating around as us chubsters start yet another year on the plus side of our waistlines and minus side of our finances!! Well truth be told, I've done WW quite a few times in the past. I am a true believer in the program and it really isn't even difficult to follow. I've done very well when I've committed to the program which is basically just learning to eat real food in proper proportions and not overdo the junk. Nothing is off limits. But then after a while I get a know it all attitude and decide yeah I know the portion size and I can have a nibble of this and a cup of that and a bowl of the next thing and a quart of....well you get the idea. So I am once again considering it. If I do rejoin, I'll even scare y'all with the number on the scale. Ur oh, that would make me accountable and committed. Hmmm.....but then again, that's why I started this blog in the first place right? I'll keep ya posted - but right now I gotta go have a little bite of.....ummmm....errr......uhhh...a carrot. Yeah right!
Xoxo - me
