Did everyone have fun celebrating the coming of a new decade? Blondie and I went out to New Orleans this year. Last year was pretty low key for the both of us. I made the mistake of drinking double Grey Goose & Redbulls all night. I slept most of New Years day away. I was very fortunate to have the day off of work.
Did any of you make a New Years resolution? If so, what was it? Mine seems simple, but isn’t at all. I just said I wasn’t going to eat after 9:30pm. Easier said than done! I hate going to bed hungry. About four months ago I joined the Snap fitness in my area and started meeting with a trainer there once a week. The results I’ve been noticing have been fantastic. My biggest problem was that I drank beer and I ate late. Both habits I enjoyed, but had to give up. I’ve been good about the not eating late thus far. It is only a week into the New Year though.
I may drink a beer here and there, but nothing like I used to. I noticed within the first week of me not drinking beer a difference in the flatness of my stomach and around my upper hips. Now if I go out to drink I’ll just sip on some wine. Blondie and I will go out and split a pitcher of Abita Amber about once a month. I don’t feel so guilty about that since it is only every once in a while. I’ve been so good about being healthy that sometimes I just have to cheat. I also gave up fast food several months ago. I miss it, but I’m eating much healthier now. Lots of chicken, eggs, and veggies. And cereal! I love me some Special K Blueberry and Raisin Bran Crunch.
The weather here has been horrible as well. It is freezing one week, then warm one day, and then cold & rainy again! My sinuses don’t know what to think. It is rainy and freezing today. So yucky.
