Finally Had Enough

Thanks for all the great comments from yesterdays post. When you get a chance yall go read them because there's some good info there. People told us what they wanted to accomplish in the the new year so we have to support them and keep them accountable by reading the post and commenting on them. We are here to support each other in reaching our goals.

I say food is really a drug because chile please I'm trying to beat the Popeye's food addiction. Okay I went to the grocery store yesterday to get my "good" food like fruits and veggies..., but then it was late and I was tired and I didn't feel like going home and cook anything and another excuse I had a conference call meeting at 7P so I just didn't have time to go home to make anything. (Planning is essential to reaching your goals). Anyway what did I do - I drove thru Popeye's to get what - chicken nuggets and red beans and rice. But this time it just didn't taste as good as it had been tasting. Ugh I think it's because I've been eating it so much that I'm just sick of it for now. Know what I mean?

This morning I'm back on track with the good healthy food I bought in the 20 degree weather yesterday evening.

Oh and I just want to weigh what it says on my drivers license (LOL). Do yall weigh what you have on your drivers license?

First Monday Morning of 2010

The holidays are over and it's Monday morning - life that is!

It's the first Monday morning of the new year so what are you going to do in this new year?

Get healthier right? For many of us becoming healthier means making better food choices, exercising more, and the big one losing weight.

I saw the TV show The Doctors this morning and they talked about the resolutions they made last year and how they did achieving them. They did great, good and not so good, but the bottom line said was - it's a new year and you can start off again.

So share what you want to do for the new year here on Monday Morning Life.

I'll start with my new year resolution(s) -

1. I'm staying the course of my quest to be healthy by continuing to eat healthier, exercising and the big one for me is losing weight. I'm generally good on exercising, I slip often on eating healthier (ate Popeye's chicken nuggets and red beans and rice like it was some crack (LOL) often during the holidays).

I've got a big event in August to attend so August will be one of the check in dates. We have a fitness walk at my church April 17th so that will be another check in date. So I have check ins at 3 months and 8 months from now.

2. Get the "clutter" out of my house - bottom line!

It's all about community so share your goals for 2010 and check in often so we can support each other. To comment on a post you can be a member, but you don't have to be one. You can just -

Scroll to the bottom of the post you want to comment on and click on "comments"

Then under the "Choose an identity" section choose your identity
If you already have Google account you can log in as you do to that account, or
You can choose "Name/URL" - type in your name - first, first and last or any name you choose. You do not have to type in a URL just your name. I think the the Name/URL option is the best option to choose.
You can also choose "Anonymous" - unless you are just saying something way out there and you don't want anyone to know who you are, then I say why choose this option.
