I Don't Do New Years Resolutions

I don't do New Year's Resolutions because I break them faster than I can write them down. I will never ever look like her *again? I am not sure I ever did look like her, but I was a lot closer years ago than I am now that's for sure. This vacation has been a lazy one. Even though I did use my treadmill nearly every day I was home, I more than ruined any good it did by stuffing my face with all sorts of off the charts not good for you non-food items like cookies and candies and the like. So saying I am going to eat better is simply a given. Once this vacation is over... Which makes me think I probably cannot ever retire full time, because the propensity to sit around and snack is just too great when I am at home. It sure was these past two weeks. I normally eat quite healthfully. I do. I really really do. So I have fallen off the wagon. I need to pick myself up, brush the crumbs off, and get back on the horse or whatever it's called when you go back to how you were before the vacation started. It will be a good month before I dare stand on a scale again. I am so stuffed. So uncomfortable. I'd say I am so sorry, but to be perfectly honest with you, those Lemon Citrus cookies Patty gave me were to die for... The See's Truffles were good too. I ate way more ice cream than I normally would and even if most of it was low sugar/low fat it still has calories... But or And I did enjoy it at the time. So I won't say I am sorry. I'll just start eating right again Tomorrow. I swear! But no New Years Resolutions. What about you?

  2. Ditto for me--I felt like I committed a crime with the way I've been eating (I mean that) At first, I thought, it's the Holidays--I'm allowed, but not anymore. I have to get these cookies out of this house (my major weakness--homebaked cookies :)

  6. Happy New Year, Lynn !
    I gave up on making resolutions on January 1st quite a few years ago now. It just doesn't feel genuine to me at all. I do have some on going intentions towards better self-care and those have nothing to do with the holidays though the holidays do make eating well a HUGE challenge. I too am looking forward to getting back to a routine that helps me work at that!
    Wishing you strength and lots of self-love as you take batter care of yourself ! Cheers !

  7. I'm with you, Lynn....I don't do New Year's resolutions any more. They just made me feel like a failure when I broke them. I fell off the wagon too some over the holidays but I'm hoping that if I remind myself how lousy I felt when I ate the junk food (although delicious!!) maybe I'll be able to stay on the straight and narrow. We'll see how that goes......

  8. I don't do new years resolutions either. Everyone worries about what they eat from Xmas to New Years but they should really worry about what they eat from New Years to Xmas.. :))

  11. I hear you big time, Lynn. I don't do resolutions either but a friend and I have made a pact to begin eating healthier beginning tomorrow. I knew I wasn't alone in my holiday eating habits. I feel so much better now. LOL!!

  14. Nope, none from me either.
    Well, maybe one little tiny one,,,,but it's more a choice than a resolution.

    We've been off our normal feedbag too,,,,hasn't everyone? The boyfriend is diabetic,,so sugars are almost non existant for him.I have a small stash of cookies that he doesn't really like anyway, so he doesn't eat them.
    It's very hard preparing and making low carb meals during the holidays, but it's back to the straight and narrow for us tomorrow.
    Happy New (and healthy) Year for us all!

  15. I'm with you all the way, Lynn! Everything feels sooooo tight right now:( However, everything naughty has been eaten and we're back on track!

  16. No resolutions here either. Just the plain facts that I need to lose weight does it for me. No need to talk about it. Just do it. No more baking cookies. They are like crack to me. Can't just eat one.

    I love your header picture. You are so lucky to have so many photos of your family to play with. I am sure they are honored by your efforts.
