Happy New Year

Yesterday’s post was my wacky thoughts about life in general. Today’s Post is about my New Years Resolutions. Most people will make them, or have made them in the past, including yours truly. Of all the resolutions I have made, my quitting smoking 11 years ago, and my joining Weight Watchers, which you can read about here, are the ones I am most proud of.

I did reach my weight loss goal three years ago, I was so proud that day. I went to class and I had reached my goal. I was on cloud nine and jumped around like a little kid!

Of course, I found staying at my goal weight a bit more of a challenge than I had thought it would be, especially after the last egg dropped and I was in the throws of menopause. Then my metabolism totally betrayed me, and I put on some of the weight.

I kept going to class though. There were weeks I gained weight, and weeks I have lost only two tenths of a pound, but I kept going, and I still do.

Weight Watchers has started a new program. I don’t know enough about it yet to know if this will be the answer to my dietary prayers, but I certainly hope it will be. I’m learning about it, and I hope that I can once again be successful

So, that’s my New Years Resolution. To once again work on my health, my weight and get myself back in shape. I have not given myself a deadline. Oh, didn’t we all do that as a teenager? I want to be thin by bikini season? I just want to work the weight off, and then LEARN to keep it off!

So, what’s your New Years Resolution?

(Remember, you can do it, if you really want to!)

  1. I have a few goals set for the new year and getting back in shape is high on my list…best of luck with your resolution and Happy New Year!

  2. You will see once this dammit menopause is over everything gets better. I never had weight problems in my whole life, but during that time I put on 8 kgs !!! I really thought the doctors and my balance went mad ! Now I am back to normal again. It’s a bad time for most of us women.

  3. Hope your New Years celebration was lovely and wishing you all the best in the new year. Yes, taking down Christmas decorations is on the agenda for us today too…and then one more holiday dinner on New Years Day.

  4. I don’t tend to make resolutions. I’m just the type of person to make changes when I feel the time is right. I guess one change I would like to make this new year is to continue on to work on my well being, and surround myself with positive and inspiring people. And not over committing myself and to make time for little ole’ me. Happy New Year!
