I love the New Year!

       

Thank you for reading my blog
For your reading enjoyment, Part One  What Can I Change in Eight Weeks?

Week Three

 

*January 1*

New Year's Day
Monday
This time last year. I was with my dad in the Emergency Room. The week before, my mom was sick. I am glad that they survived and they are still with me. I am selfish like that.

 

 New Year's Day was always the start date in the past. So glad that I started two weeks ago instead of waiting until today.





It is so cold out.
Olivia's favorite place is the register.
Even with her sweater

Mandie takes her turn on the register

Tuesday
The only good thing about this cold weather. 

Is the Spring flower bulbs.  
 
 



*Jan 3*
Wednesday

My downfall is binge eating and not wanting to exercise.
Then giving up when I have a setback. Frigid weather is a trigger. Even though I can't control the weather. (If I could. We would never, ever have Winter, ever)
*Jan 4*

Thursday

Little bit of snow and not bad. It was very light and powdery. Had to clean off the car early for an appointment. I usually don't like snow. 

 

*Jan 5*

Friday

I am trying so hard to be joyful in my present circumstances.

It is so cold outside and frigid. It makes the house freezing cold and unbearable, too. When will it end?

 Oh I know! Bring on the tiny violins.

Saturday

Brrrrrrrrrrrr! Get out my tiny band.





Much more of this and I will need a tiny band

Last Week 141.8
This Week 141.8

Didn't lose, but at least I didn't gain!
The Scale is not my enemy.
The scale is a tool to measure my weight. It doesn't measure my worth.

Week Four


*Jan 8*
Monday
Found an interesting footprint in the snow yesterday





Footprint in my backyard. Is it a big dog? Bear? One legged Sasquatch on a pogo stick?




A day later. Footprint almost gone.
The toes are gone, but the heel is still there
If you look hard enough

Bear or dog? 
One legged Mini Squatch?













It was about the size of a soda can.
Very interesting!








*Jan 9*
Tuesday
Last year, I weighed 137.6 This year I weigh approx. 140
Gained and lost and then gained the same four pounds. For the whole year. I don't want a repeat of that.

My very first blog on the subject!

Ugly Truth Week One


*Jan 10*
Wednesday
It is just one of those days. Feeling blah!

*Jan 11*
Thursday
This has been quite a learning process. While I can't control how I am treated. I can't control things like the weather.
I can control how I feel about them. I used to give up and binge. Then say, Oh! I will start over tomorrow. Then I would maintain or even worse gain.

The weather is lovely! Can we keep it?
I know that we can't keep it. It is January after all.

*Jan 12*
Friday
Raining and lovely. Washed all the ice melt off of the sidewalk.
Got my period today, so tired. I got up early to take Olivia to the groomer.  Normally would have made an excuse and not exercised. I exercised anyway!
(Talking about periods. If you don't want real and raw. This isn't the blog for you. I won't be vulgar, but I do still get a period. I will talk about it from time to time.)




Olivia went to The Spa today. Isn't she a cutie?
That is a rhetorical question. Of course she is a cutie.



Watching the magic window

*Jan 13*
Saturday
The beautiful weather didn't stay around. It is cold and windy. Don't like it! Don't want this to become a blog where I complain all the time. I want to keep it real, but I don't want to complain all the time. Forgive me, I might complain sometimes.

*Jan 14*
Sunday
It's January, heavy sigh.
Feeling a little icky.
