HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
This month the topic of discussion is of course none other but New Year resolutions. Yesterday while enjoying my second helping of chicken in peanut butter sauce at the All-You-Can-Eat Chinese buffet, I noticed that my comfortable “fat” pants were now uncomfortably snug. I think I mentioned in a previous post about the nonstop procession of birthday celebrations that hit full swing in October and end with my daughter’s birthday on the 22nd of December. By the way, we “began” celebrating my daughter’s 21st birthday at Amarillo Tex’s. Right after the servers brought out the birthday goodies and sang their ditty; Tiffany turned to me and said “Hey, Mom there’s that guy from your class reunion site! The one with the purple hair.” It was John Walker but without the purple hair. Back to the fat pants. The inevitable is to buy bigger clothes or drop the pounds. It’s not that I mind resembling my little-round-lady gourd dolls, if it weren’t for those darn numbers…cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, systolic/diastolic, not to mention the $$$ for medication. So predictably my one resolution is to get myself down to a healthy weight. I should probably make a few more but I think I’ll just tackle one at a time.
Have you made any resolutions that you are willing to discuss in public? What about past resolutions that you were successful at keeping? No resolutions at all? Tell us about it.
Like last month there will be a small prize given away but you must post to be included. This time around there will be two drawings on the 15th and also, unlike last month, this month there will be no exclusions. Everyone posting will be eligible for the drawing. Good Luck with those resolutions and HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! Helen Downing Eyers
