Hello, and Happy New Year!
Did I say after the third???? lololololol, How about Monday?
Actually, I've been "good" starting as of the third, although no exercise, except climbing up and down a ladder... Yea! we finished painting the entry, dinning room and kitchen!!!! Oh, and I love it! It is a really nice way to kick off the new year with a fresh coat of paint and a finished project! (I painted the living room and 1/2 of the dinning room 15 months ago and all this is open to the kitchen and entry with vaulted celings so now the whole space looks complete.) If you didn't know, you would think we just painted them white, but it is a very soft peach/pink tinted white and it adds so much warmth to the room and the oak woodwork. It is really amazing that it changes the color so much, but it really does. The halls going up and down stairs still have the old flat white which really takes on a greenish/yellowish/greyish tint plus 8 years of scuff marks. Those go next! Anyway, I am really pumped up about it, and can't snack much while I'm doing it.
I finally got that darn peacock done last week in time to put it up for a four year olds birthday...really does look great, and lots of compliments so hopefully he and the storks and vultures will be out and about lots in 2002! I am really gonna put major effort into that this year, and shedding the second 1/2 of this weight problem. I will weigh in and take measurements either tomorrow or Monday. My mini goals will be each 5 pounds lost, and my basic plan is just to start acting like a healthy person again...to like myself enough to take better care of myself. Stop cold turkey the binge game and drop the nearly nightly beer thing. I can just unwind with a green tea...that has just become a real stupid habbit. And back to daily exercise...I enjoy it so, I'll just do it!
I think if I looked up my resolutions from last year...they would be the same as this year....but I've already got that painting of the main floor checked off! This year, they'll all be checked off by July 1st, then I can make new goals for the second 1/2 of the year, won't that be fun!!!!!
