Ringing in the New Year......

The New Year started off with a bang.  For most people, they make those resolutions to start eating healthier, and, for the most part, the are able to keep that resolution for a week or so.  Well, I didn't make a resolution, but just wanted to keep on this journey that I started last June.  That being said, my New Year has been anything but successful. 

December 31st was a blast!  Lots of good food and lots of good drinks.  Also lots of calories, I am sure, but it was very worth it and there are no regrets there at all.   I took January 1st off.  Off from exercising; off from documenting my food intake.  Just off.  January 2nd I worked a double where I found myself raiding the bingo box (though only 2 pieces of candy this time), but then I overindulged in the chocolate/peanut trail mix someone brought to share.  Needless to say, no exercise that day.

Yesterday I have a hankering for pizza.  So I got one.  Oh boy, was I excited to eat that!  It was so delicious.  In and of itself, that wasn't bad, and my day would have been successful.  Then I had a serious overindulgent of ice cream.  Huge bowl.  HUGE bowl.  I stayed uncomfortably stuffed for hours.

Even after all of those mini-binges, it is way better than I used to do pre-June.  My "bad days" are not nearly as bad as what I used to do and they are pretty few and far between.  Pre June that was just a normal day.  So what used to be normal for me is now my new marker for "bad".  Improvement.

Today, January 4th, is going to be a good day.  A day of self control and healthy choices.

Happy New Year!
