First, this.
'Twas The Month After Christmas
Twas the month after Christmas, and all through the house, Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.
The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I'd taste,
At the holiday parties, had gone to my waist.
When I got on the scales, there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store, (less a walk than a lumber).
I'd remember the marvelous, meals I'd prepared;
The gravies and sauces, and beef nicely rared,
The soda and the candy, the bread and the cheese,
And the way I'd never said, "No, thank you, please."
As I dressed myself, in my husband's old shirt,
And prepared once again, to do battle with dirt,
I said to myself, as I only can
"You can spend a winter disguised as a man!"
So-away with the last, of the sour cream dip,
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip.
Every last bit of food, that I like must be banished
Till all the additional, ounces have vanished.
I won't have a cookie, not even a lick.
I'll want only to chew, on a long celery stick.
I won't have hot biscuits,, or corn bread, or pie,
I'll munch on a carrot, and quietly cry.
I'm hungry, I'm lonesome,and life is a bore-
But isn't that what, January is for?
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all, and to all a good diet!
It is me today. And I know this is a little bit cliche, but my goal for the new year is to get in SHAPE. It is going to be my goal all year. I am going to do it. I nearly put my current weight on here to give me some serious accountability, then I woke up and realized that is CRAZY! So, I will just say that my goal is to lose 15 lbs and leave it at that. I will let you know when I get there. (gained the 15 pounds with my pregnancy and it is not going away) Wish me luck!! And good luck with all of your resolutions!

People ask what I got for xmas and I tell them bangs (i cut them too short :) and 5 pounds---game on!!
I wish I only had 15 pounds to lose. I'm sure you look awesome and you probably don't need to lose any weight. :)
I LOVE this! I'm stealing it and putting it on my blog! Lets lose 15 lbs together and I will lose my other 10lbs in secret! HAHA! We can do this...right? HAHAHAHA!
ME too! When I told Dustin he said "for the 8th year in a row?" He's right, I say it every year but this year is different, I"M SERIOUS!!! I'll help you, and you help me. We can do this. Loved the poem. Looks like you had a good Christmas too. We need to get together sometime still, especially since I never see you at work anymore.
Ok I am stealing the poem too! It will be the hit of the RS blog I'm in charge of! You inspire me! I'm getting a treadmill! Happy New Year!

Good luck! You can do it! I still have about 10 pounds of this dang baby weight to lose and I will be munching on those carrots right along with you! I gotta lose it and I laughed and could totally relate to that poem. Happy New YEar and someone once told me that no food tastes as good as being skinny feels! I try to remind myself of that when I am craving cookies and rolls!
