2012

Ahhh, 2012.  First day of the new year, and I am somewhat relieved to have made it through the holidays without an enormous weight gain!  I did not eat wheat, however, like this morning, I was dying for bread.  Fortunately I have a stash of gluten free bagels in the freezer, so I had one of those.  They are okay, not exactly the same thing as the "real" thing, but enough to help out in a pinch.  I woke up to the smell of cinamon buns in the oven, just an overwhelming aroma that made me want to kill for one.  So I think turning to a cardboard-tasting bagel was pretty darn impressive!

Food choices are getting harder because I don't seem to have specific cravings.  When I wanted eggs, that was easy, because they are easy to make.  Same with meat.  But suddenly I have zero cravings and an empty stomach.  What to eat?  I don't know!  So I think that it is time to clean up and out for a few weeks, so perhaps I will do just raw.  But easy raw -- not all those hard to prepare meals -- something easy to follow that fills me up without a lot of thought.

AND NO MORE DRINKING!

Such empty calories, and I don't even crave that either!  It's not like Oh!  I would love a glass of wine pops into my head.  Nope, it's more, okay, having people over, or going out, will probably have a drink.  End of that for a bit.  Time to clean out!  I don't feel toxic by any means, just a little heavy.  That of course has a lot to do with my period -- but it's always a good time to go for light.  Bye bye bloating, cramps, etc. because a new day is dawning.

And no resolutions, because why?  I am on this path and still skipping down it willfully.  I don't need any further proof to know if it is the right thing.  It is.

Haven't been on the bike for a few days either.  Must get back into a healthful routine (and believe me, I'm not that far from it).  Just got overtired from holidays, travel and ho ho ho, and need to get my mojo back.  It's there, not far -- I can feel it!

So where will the new year take us in terms of weight?  Can't weight to find out!!!!
