About 5 minutes ago I mentioned to Marcel that I was getting ready to jump in the shower so that we could leave around noon for town. It was that moment that he said he was headed to the shower, so needless to say he got a dirty look from me.
I’ve been busy catching up on things this morning and he’s been sitting in the sunshine and goofing off on the computer. I’m slightly agitated with him, but I guess I’ll just have to chalk it up to him being a guy. Men-
Now that mom and diddy are set up with their new computers (thank goodness) and the dinosaur computer is sitting in the corner waiting to have pictures moved, they are really excited about the fact that they have a network and they can transfer information from one computer to another. When I first set everything up- mom asked if she and diddy were going to need an it degree in order to make their way through the network, but they found out that it was much easier than they thought. I still have a couple of things to teach them, but I’m sure that they’ll be able to learn it without any problems.
When the New Year rolled around, I promised myself that in spite of still being on vacation, I was going to make sure that I started making healthier choices and stop treating this vacation as a free-for-all to eat everything that isn’t nailed down. Ok, it hasn’t been that bad, but I have been definitely indulging and before I outgrew my clothes, I knew I’d better get back on track.
I’ve done really well with the choices I’ve made, and this morning I added a little Italian Sweet Cream Coffee-Mate to my steel-cut oats. It was out of this world! That, along with a little cinnamon and I had a delicious, healthy breakfast.
In the five days of this New Year I’ve already noticed a change (for the positive) in the way that I feel simply by getting the ‘junk’ out of my body. I’m sure that it’s only going to get even better over time and I’m determined to make this a successful year in all aspects of my life.
It’s hard to believe that we are already on day two of the new year. Being home has been amazing, but it has also meant that I’ve done some serious indulging during the holidays. My clothes still fit, but they do feel a little snug and I was determined to kick off the New Year by making better choices. I’m not beating myself up for the over-indulence, but it’s also time to cut out some of the sugar-laden goodies that I’ve been eating on a regular basis.
Someone commented that I should wait until we get home to start eating healthy again, but I say no to that idea. Our last couple of weeks will include lots of eating out, but instead of ordering ‘whatever’ on the menu, I’m going to be more conscious about ordering healthy items. By the time we get home, I should be pretty much detoxed from the sugar and back to healthy eating, so it will make the transition much easier. I’ll also start adding some exercise, so that once we get home, the elliptical will be ready for use.
I have several goals for this year and one is to become healthier (and lighter). I also have intentions to work more on projects that are swirling around in my mind, to continue (started before the end of the year) to keep the negative and drama prone people either out of my life or at arms length and to continue to work on becoming a better me. There are more (some related to my creativity) and I’ll share more as time permits. Right now the water I put on the stove is boiling and it’s time for a cup of green tea.
What are your goals for 2011?
