Welcome to 2012!!!

A nice surprise on the scale this morning. 197.8!!! I know it won't "stick" but still nice to see this morning.

We stayed home last night. We actually did stay awake until midnight but not much partying going on here!! I sort of went on a closet cleaning frenzy. My clothes have been a mess. I never did sort out summer clothes from winter clothes and since we weren't going out I went to town!! Looks so much better. Now I can actually see what I have. And oh my ... I do have a lot of clothes. Not everything fits right now but it will in about 15 lbs.

Decided to go out with mom today. We're going to go see War Horse and take her to lunch. The big challenge will be avoiding popcorn. I think, since we are going to go see the movie first, the anticipation of lunch should help. We are going to go to a Mexican place and I LOVE Mexican food. Even though today is indulgence day for me, I don't want to over do it.

Coffee is perking and it is time for me to exercise!! May today be a wonderful start for 2012 for you. I hope everyone is well and safe!!

I am grateful, this first day of 2012 for ...

... the blessings we have by still having my mother in our lives.

... relatively good health!!

... not getting suffocated by my clothing piles yesterday!!

... fresh, hot coffee on a chilly morning!!

... an even-numbered year ... love even-numbered years!!!

Enjoy your day!! Off I go onto my elliptical, practicing kindness towards this 53, soon to be 54 year old body by keeping her moving. Practicing kindness to myself by accepting myself.

Have a good day!!

Wow.... the scale moved down for you and UP for me.... the fickle thing! I suppose I should record it for the New Year Biggest Loser but geez. Don't want to. LOL! Have a great day with you mom and hope you find the strength to forgo movie popcorn. I thing going to a movie is a great way to spend today... have to see what's playing. LOL! HUGS!

I was surprised the scale went down!! Oh and I just realized I'm close to one of my mini-goals ... which was to weigh what I did when I returned from my vacation last year ... 195.4 ... not far from there now. Then the next mini-goal is 189, what I weighed when I left for vacation!!! There may still be hope for me!!

Congrats on the 197! Stick or no-stick, it's nice to see progress, isn't it? I am so curious when I will reach a new low - I have a feeling that the next one will be VERY low. Thank you for a great finish on 2011, and I can't wait to hang with you through 2012 - assuming that you're staying a little after you finish. :) I know I will...
