Everything changes now....

The resolution made in January was to get healthy & get fit. Not an original goal by any stretch of the imagination, but definitely one that needs to be made. As we exit the forties, it's nearly time for an overdue fine. We've made it through January with some improvements in the choices we eat, but still not good at portion control. So, we'll continue to make healthier choices and the goal for February is to work on the size and amounts of our portions. Trying to do that without feeling like we are starving will be difficult. I want to keep up the excercise...and actually add to it. I didn't get it in everyday, but everday that I did was one more than I did last year! So, yay me! Today will be difficult because of the birthday dinner, so I chose to not to beat myself up over it, special occasions are just that, special. I don't think I've put a final goal on paper yet, but if I were to make it today, my goal would be to lose 25 pounds and to be consistent in my workouts. 25 pound should be a piece of cake....oops....piece of....hunk of....well....25 pounds is doable! Ok, there's the goal...now....the prize.....Each 5 pounds I think I deserve a treat! The old me, would say the treat is food, the new me...I think it should be a new blouse for the first five, a new pair of shoes for the first 10. At 15 pounds a new skirt, 20 is pretty big, so let's say we go out and get something in the lingerie section! At 25 pounds, with the excercise...I ought to look pretty hot and be ready to take a cruise! My 25th anniversary is just two years away, so I want to be looking fine by then! Ok....so what's for breakfast? I'm thinking whole wheat toast....homemade. A few more days in January....and then we are rockin into February!
