Happy Birthday to me!!

It's my birthday. I'm old! 34! Ah, well....getting older doesn't bother me. Looking old does, but hey, what can I say? I have been doing well in my first goal. Now, I will go to goal #2: eating smaller portions. I actually had to give this second goal some thought. The Christmas season is, obviously, filled with numerous get-togethers, parties, special treats, etc.....NOT the ideal time to begin eating right again. So, I debated whether to try to set my next goal to be not eating past a certain time, or not eating until I'm REALLY hungry, etc.....but I figured this might be the most reasonable one considering the circumstances. This way, I can still enjoy my holidays while, hopefully, at least not GAINING any weight through it.

This "1 goal at a time" concept, as simple as it is, could actually work for me. My mind woke up at 5:30 today & when I checked the time, I SO wanted to stay cuddled up under the warm covers. But, I told myself: this is your only goal of the day. It really worked to get me out of bed & it's really just that initial action that gets me to exercise. I mean, what else am I gonna do at 5:30 in the morning?

Anyway, about my birthday....we celebrated it last night since Tony & I have our adoption class again tonight & won't all be together as a family until late. The girls wrote me stories. Very cute. And hubby painted me a nativity on rocks. Very cool & very unique. Bet you don't have 1.

God bless you all, Dianna
