Diet

I would like to say that I am not on a diet and just going to a healthier life style and eating but the truth is that I am on a diet .....when you restrict your calorie intake it is pretty much a diet....its just the truth....of course during my diet I will be eating healthier due to the calorie restrictions and will be exercising since it is a important part of losing weight....it has been a full 24 hours and so far so good.....if I can make it thru the first week and all the craving for sugar and bread I should be ok.....I am also mentally in a good place for it....and am actually embracing all the extra energy I will have, and how much better I will feel physically and about myself...really all in all a win win...you know the reality is that I am 40 and a mother of a 18 month old son....it is important that I am the healthiest that I can be as a older parent...life isn't as forgiving as you get older so it is important that I stay strong, healthy and fit....it really is a life style change but in order to get where I want to be I do need to restrict my calorie intake....I am not following a specific diet but just making healthier low calorie low fat choices.....and can't go over my calorie restrictions......

I think New Years Eve will be a quiet evening at home.....we were invited to a party from one of my clients but we both really don't want to go...we thought about having a get together here at the house...but not really sure....during Collins next 4 day I think we are going to tackle his indoor shop and then finish the garage and are going to sand down the edges on the kitchen cabinets and get them repainted.....and perhaps get the kitchen base board trim painted...

Our Christmas Decorations are still up...I think I want to enjoy the season for another week or so....then I will take a day and put all of my treasures away until next year...saying goodbye to my old friends and looking forward to when I will see them again next year....

I am also itching for nice weather....it has been so cold and so windy that we just haven't been able to get outside....I think more snow tomorrow....perhaps if it is nice this afternoon....Dylan and I will bundle up and head to the park with the dogs for a winter walk....

I am off all day with my Dillybar.....our days off together feel so indulgent...lots of nursing....cuddling....playing....sleeping....and just in general a pretty darn good time...of course there is always the laundry, bits of cleaning, and errands to run but that just adds to the fun.....

until next time
