Ready to Go...

Since New Years Day fell on a Saturday it did not seem like that was the actual day to start all those life changing tasks you lay out in your resolution lists...it seems that the infamous Monday, which in this case will be the 3rd, is the day to get your goals aligned.  I could not imagine starting to to work out, eat better and all the many things that have made their way onto my resolution list on a Saturday...no way!  So like many others out there I am sure, I decided to go with good ole Monday...and I feel good about that. 

So today was the last day, the last day before I jump-start a healthy lifestyle for myself.  I seriously thought I was going to spend the day eating chili cheese fries and bacon wrapped hot dogs, drink a 2 liter of Coca Cola, make cupcakes and all that good stuff...instead I enjoyed a nice meal, a steak, with some good friends...I also ran some errands, got some vitamins and good food for the week and filled my gas tank so I wouldn't have to do it in the morning before work.  I am home at 9pm which is the earliest I have been home this whole holiday season, and I am doing laundry.  So what could have been an extremely gluttonous day, and completely justified for that matter, I was actually responsible.  Eeek, I think this year so far is presenting itself to be a bit mature! 

As I sit here and think about what tomorrow is going to be like...

Will the girls be attentive (no way), will I be attentive (after 9am), will I actually get up at 5:30 to get on the treadmill (I hope so) and will I remember to take my vitamins in the morning (I placed them in an obvious spot...right next to my keys)

I still find myself with the lingering optimism that seems to be affecting most of those around me and I am happy for both.  There seems to be a mystique this new year. I find that people are happy, excited, hopeful, and well just plain nice!  So I hope this continues...I hope that it will only get better...it only can right, it's not even Monday!

My new morning regimen!! 

I think this is going to be the last of my looking at the new year and commentating on that...So get ready...
