New Year's Resolutions and All That Jazz......

Another new year...another chance!

"Brewvies"....Brews and movies....what a fun way to spend an afternoon!

Yummy treats Liz brought us from she and Jake for our Anniversary at the hotel....

Wes "happy" at Happy Hour the night of our Anniversary......

They make it all sound so easy in the magazines.....~LOL~

I'm sure that Martha Stewart would not approve of my new bedroom decor.....

Notice ever how one thing leads to another.....well, it seems this whole last year that has been the case....probably that has been the case for many years now...but I am tired of it....not tired of all the fun things we do...because we have a great life...just tired of making excuses that I will "exercise more" tomorrow...."eat healthier" on Monday....."drink less" after the next big party...."walk more when it gets warmer"....those kind of excuses! I've used them all, and then some! It truthfully is cold right now....it is just bleak out there! We have had sixteen days straight of below freezing temps for our highs, and I have not been walking like I should daily...and I miss it! Wes and I just celebrated our 38th wedding anniversary, and went to a nice hotel in SLC for the day....Many calories later, I am raring to start a new diet and exercise program....I've tried them all...get frustrated when I don't feel like I am losing any weight....and then I quickly go back to my partying ways...hey...it is always someone's birthday...it is always a Friday night....it is always almost a trip or a holiday coming up....so better start after the holiday...and most recently, it was Phyllis and Ellie moving to London last Sunday that really triggered me to misbehave! Lots of get togethers so we could all spend time together...and you have to eat at those kind of things! I can't change the fact that they have moved...I certainly can't change these frigid temperatures outside, so the only thing I have control over is ME! I had Wes drag my stair stepper and an exercise bike out of a spare bedroom downstairs and put it in our bedroom, where I will be forced to look at them night and day....and hopefully start using them! For our anniversary, Phyllis and Ellie gave us among other things....a gift certificate to a place called "Brewvies"....fun place...sit and watch movies, have a pitcher of beer...or a martini....or both....along with yummy appetizers all in the comfort of a nice cozy theatre seat with your own little table right in front of you....ahhhh....the good life....then Liz surprised us and delivered flowers and decadent tiramisu to us in at the hotel...and then of course there was happy hour at the hotel....and room service....you get the picture! TIME TO START! Okay, New Year's Resolutions....I am going to give it my best shot! I sat up last night and read the Weight Watchers Magazine I just bought from cover to cover...I stocked up on green beans and cottage cheese today at the grocery store....I think I'm ready! I have vowed to be good till Valentine's Day....another holiday...but I am giving up my Friday nights...and my Martin Luther King Day celebration...(Darn!I forgot about Ground Hog Day...and that is a BIGGEE for me to celebrate...really!) I am even giving up my "full moon" binges....yep...I am definitely on the right track! ~LOL~ Good luck with all of your New Year's Resolutions!
