December 29, 2007 — Just 4 Today

29 12 2007

Just 4 Today, I’ll drink my fiber twice (done once), drink 2 liters of water (I’ve drunk about 1/2 liter), walk 5 miles (yesterday – 4.31), NOT eat between meals & NOT take seconds.

Changes are coming — I’m working a Fresh Look for the New Year.  So, don’t be surprised if things start looking odd. . . .

What are you going to do today?

Throwing away the rest of the Chocolate & Candy that Santa didn’t put in stockings…. Done (and buried at the bottom of the trash) I wonder what part of “Addicted to Sugar” I don’t understand?

We had a lovely Christmas — both in-town kids spent the day with us (our First EVER Christmas with kids) They’re all grown up now (30 & 25) but it was everything I ever dreamed.

Did you have a Merry Christmas?

I’m going back to work today & tomorrow. And believe it or not, I’m happy about it. For one thing, it means I get to go to the gym for a walk before work. AND walk around that big-empty-room.

I know that for many of you the holiday isn’t over yet.  Are you talking time off from your routine?  Are you ready for a touch of normalcy?

Me? I’m GLAD to be back!

I feel like today really IS the first day of the rest of my life. I’ve got a sister-in-law who’s acting like a pill while pretending to act like a saint. I’m getting tired of being generous about it. Since I’m NOT actually feeling generous about it the rest of the family is suffering as much as me (I’ll let you untangle that sentence on your own.) I could confront them (S-I-L & brother) but I can’t help thinking that it’s time for them to grow up. Sure, I’m the “Oldest Kid” but they’re grown adults — in their 40’s or nearly so.

One of my all time favorite movie lines is from Overboard when Katherine Helmond tells Goldie, “But darling, if you have a baby, you won’t be the baby anymore.”  Starting today, I’m going to let go of responsibility for things I can’t change.  And I’m not going to baby people with babies anymore.
