Recording what I eat this week has been an eye-opener. I eat WAY too much. So many snacks this week - I have to be better at focusing my attitude towards rewarding myself with GOOD FOOD and not sweets.

So: this week's goal is to record everything and cut out juices - no cider or sparkling apple juice. No cranberry juice. My roommate has some really fragrant tea called Rose Tea - it smells just like roses, not rose hips. I think I'll make up a container of it without sugar.

Also, my gym has added Body pump back into the schedule, so I will start going to Body pump at least once this week.

My new part-time job starts this week with an all-day seminar on Wednesday, and then the paid training starts on Thursday. Anybody need a tax preparer? I will be working with the H&R people!

What are you all doing for New Year's Eve? Any exciting plans? My daughters will be out of school and back from their trip with their dad - I am betting that neither of them will be with me at midnight! So my roommate and I are thinking we'll go out to a dance place where a mutual friend and his band are playing. I have to get something shiny to go with my new dress!

Let's see: I am grateful for memory - I realize that I had some very happy times in my life. Even my latest angst with my former husband was due to taking things personally when his lack of communication actually was due to his own problems and not his trying to aggravate me on purpose, probably just like in the past. Turns out he didn't even tell our daughters when they were leaving or coming back from their Christmas vacation, never mind telling me. I am sure that the only reason his girlfriend knew was that she helped him make the arrangements in the first place! What is the saying? A leopard can't change his spots. So, I feel good that he's just a general PITA and not one directed at me! lol!

Have a good Monday!
