There was a photo booth there-- what more could you ever want?!?! I visited the booth numerous times... like, the next day I checked my clutch and had about 20 of these print offs. I can't even imagine how annoyed the guy was who ran the booth. So sorry, sir.....
As always, a new year makes me reflect and think about resolutions and blah blah blah. Truly, I don't agree with a resolution... I am much more of a GOAL setter. I think it is a bit silly to wait until January 1 to start cleaning/shopping/dieting/running/whatever-ing. You can start doing something any day of the year!
I have made a few goals for myself, just to keep me on track.
In my little desk planner, I have a running list of house things to do: clean out attic, organize Andy's closet, clean my closet, etc... knowing that that list will continue to grow throughout the year (if I clean out Andy's closet in January, it will need it again in March...obviously...).
The Bloggess wrote about the #oneword2016 challenge, where you pick a single word for the new year…one word that makes you focus on your main goal for the year (these are her words). As soon as I read this, I decided my word would be KINDNESS. I want to use kindness every day, in every interaction with people, children and Eddie included. I want to think with kindness when I reply to people, I want to use kindness in my heart and in my words every day. I have written the word in several places and I am sticking it around the house as a reminder to me.
What would your #oneword2016 be? Kinda a neat thought, as opposed to a resolution.
And finally, and I know many will think this is crazy...I have got to get my weight back under control. I have eaten WAY too much (and drinking....a LOT). I work out a ton, but I am not eating what I should be eating. At all. My goal is to lose 10ish pounds by March, when we go to Mexico. It isn't going to be easy. At all. A long time ago, I hit my all time high weight (which spurred me to go to weight watchers and lose a bunch), and I am at that number, plus a pound now. It's okay-- I can do it.
I am not going to post my weight-- wish I had the confidence to do that... but I do not! But, I will be using this blog to hold me accountable. I am also using the Weight Drop app-- basically just entering my weight each morning (I am back to weighing in each day). I have only used it twice, but it was very satisfying to see the little graph go DOWN.
As of now, I am not going to weight watchers-- but I am using a lot of the food choices that I learned when I did it before. This morning I had egg beaters, I had a spinach salad with grilled chicken for lunch with loads of veggies, some cottage cheese for snack and baked chicken with a salad for dinner. I also had a small handful of m&ms, if I am being honest.... hehe. I was really good when we went to Charlotte- really paying attention to what I ate, and I was down a pound and a half when I got home. It is a start!
SO- here's hoping I am posting that I have reached my goal! It won't over consume this blog... don't worry. Any one else on the diet train?
Alright... that's about it. Oh, I am also contemplating doing a bachelor post on here. Not sure if anyone even watches that show any more... I mean, I DO, but do y'all??
