Welcome to the year 2012. I hear today that this is the Year of the Dragon, which means that it is a lucky year!
I took the candles out of my windows today, but left up my Christmas trees. (I have two. A big one and a small one with only dackel ornaments.) After taking care of the candles, I just felt the wind go out of my sails, so I sat down and reminded myself that I didn’t have to get it all done in one day.
Meanwhile, I took the dackels for walks around the yard. This is not only my ‘new’ exercise, but a way to keep them from becoming Eagle food! It seems 2 Eagles have now moved into the neighborhood. I have not found a nest, but Eagles have been known to grab cats and small dogs for a quick snack! So until we haven’t seen them for a while, I’ll be walking the dackels while they tend to their business.
I started back on my Weight Watchers plan. I’ve been weighing and measuring all my food, as well as trying to make better choices! I have two months to get back in shape and ready for the trip! I sure want to look good for Hubby in my bathing suit! I would also like to get my legs in shape for all the walking and swimming I plan to do. (We won’t even mention the eating!)
We have no snow here at my house. We’ve had warm temperatures and rain! Not conducive to snow making. Poor Hubby. He really wants to get out there and ski!
I guess I’m happy any way it turns out. If we can ski, great. If not, well, then I’ll just have to work harder to get in shape.
So what are your resolutions this year? Getting in shape? Stopping smoking? (Which was the number 1 resolution this year.)
Have a great Tuesday, Everyone!!!
You know mine. Getting to my goal weight this year. And not giving up. Other than that, being happy.
Happy New Year Maribeth!
We had a dusting this morning. I hear there is big snow headed to upstate NY…maybe some will blow your way.
I don’t make New Years Resolutions, but perhaps to try to stay as calm as possible in the stressful situations I am placed in would help. Love YOU, Mel
I took off all Christmas stuff and then I was exhausted and told myself that I can put the “normal” decorations back tomorrow, as you say nothing has to be done in one day !
Wow, eagles over your yard ! We only have magpies which attack cats ! They don’t eat them but can hurt them very much. Today we have rainy and very stormy weather, some roofs flew away and trees fell.
my resolution is to eat only good for me foods, in moderation. to walk, bike, swim…lots! to be positive. to be non-judgmental.
Sounds like you have a good start to dieting in the new year! We always walk around with Skye and at night I keep her on a leash. I don’t trust the coyotes, hawks and owls!
