Hasta La Vista, 2006.
My parents have just come and picked up my three kids, and my husband and I are on our own OVERNIGHT! Wooo!
The plan, as it stands right now, is to get some Thai food and then do something wild. Like watch a rated-R movie on DVD. Or stay up to 11 and pretend we made it until midnight. Wooooo!
My parents will no doubt be having a rowdy New Year's Eve with the kids, and they are thrilled. I'm thrilled, too.
So! Let's talk New Year's Resolutions. Do you make them? Do you keep them?
I always make them. And I'll admit, I tend to aim low. Really low. Like when I decided that I would be indecisive for a whole year. That was duck soup. And when I decided to "just be me" - again, easy!
I'm really good at those types of resolutions. Now that I have the reason of Sugar Addiction behind my cycles of Super Motivated to Super Binging, I think that I might hazard a resolution of "conquer my food demons."
I don't know, though. See? Indecisive. It works for me!
Okay. I'm saying it. I'm going to CONQUER MY FOOD DEMONS this year.
I clicked over to fatfallacy.com, and the January programs are sold out (wah!) giving me the option of doing the 8 week program starting in March. I'm going to hold off on signing up, and use the time between now and then to really get the sugar out of my diet, and get a daily journal cracking. I'm also going to order Dr. Clower's The French Don't Diet and review it here for you guys.
I give because I love.
So far, the breakfast within one hour of waking has been no problem - except before I know it, we'll be up and running out the door for school. I'm going to try to plan ahead for those rushed mornings with easy to prepare breakfasts (and maybe some precooked proteins like boiled eggs, sliced ham...)
My favorite breakfast of last week was leftover brown rice with a scrambled egg, chopped red peppers and onion, some corn and some cilantro. It was filling and really yummy, and I didn't even finish my entire bowl.
Happy New Year, y'all! 2007 is going to be fantastic for us all.

I'm going to resolve to read a book a week. Oh, and to reach my goal weight this year!

OK Jenny, I have to ask because I've been reading and I'm not sure I know... what ARE your food demons, exactly? Because if I'm gonna watch you conquer them, and I know you can conquer them, I need to know exactly what they might be (and it would be good to know what's behind them, because food itself is not really demonic - except of course for chocolate oatmeal cookies and nutter butters.)
Happy New Year to you and yours. Enjoy your childfree evening!
