So it begins, a new year- hoping it will be a better one...
I have always in the past had a hard time writing out a new year for the first week or so, but I had no trouble at all this first day of the new year writing out 2011 versus 2010. I think this tells me something already that I am so glad to see 2010 be gone. When I look back in reflection on 2010, all I seem to come up with is the sad stuff and can't seem to think of much good and I know we did have some good, but it seems overshadowed by the sad.
As far as any new year resolutions go...not going to make any. The one I have had for quite a number of years is always the same...lose weight. Yeah, yeah, yeah...we all know this story...we start out great for the first couple of weeks and then we fall off the wagon...been there, done that. I know I should lose weight, this is an ongoing issue I live with on a daily basis. I have lost and regained numerous times, it is a cycle that I believe will always be with me for the rest of my life. Do I like this, no, could I change it, yes, but for the long haul, I seriously doubt it. In many ways, I have accepted this, but there are days where I still don't feel comfortable in my own skin. Winter time is the hardest...I look for the comfort food so much more. Cold weather days I am stuck inside an office from 9-5 and then the weekends I am stuck inside the house. On the weekends I long to sleep in an hour or 2 more than on the weekdays - under my nice cozy fleece sheets, then get up a have a nice leisurely breakfast of either eggs/bacon or pancakes/bacon with E. I just not ready to give all these things up right now. I feel like all week long I am under stress at work, I deserve alittle TLC (sleeping in, eating bigger meals, sitting around on the couch or computer) on the weekends.
There is one thing in my life that is making me happier and that is my Thirty-One consultant business and what it holds for me in 2011. I received my first commission check this past week and I was quite giddy about it. I truy love these products and so hoping to share my enthusiasm about the products with others. My original intent to become a consultant wasn't to make money, but was to share these products with others and to have social interactions with other women - make new friends. I am now hoping to do a bit of both in 2011.
This past Tuesday was E and I anniversary - 6 years married, so we decided (as we always do) to go out to dinner at a new restuarant in our area that we haven't been before. We usually try to do this on that day, but with the snowstorm the day before (18 inches of snow), we decided to wait till Thursday to do this. We had a very nice dinner, but what really top the day off for me was the fact that AF decided to show up that morning...can you believe her timing...here I thought she wasn't coming this month at all and she shows up in all her glory including cramps...UGH. I had mixed emotions about seeing her, but all in all it hasn't been that bad. I immediately called my RE that morning to see about going in for bloodwork and was told to go in on Friday since this was a holiday weekend. Well, it didn't work out since the lab turned out to be closed on Friday for the holiday weekend so now I will have to go on Monday before going into work. It shall be interesting to see my numbers and where we will go from here.
Come on 2011...be a good year.
