2007 Update

I always do the "New Year's Resolution" thingy. In 2006 I vowed never to smoke another cigarette as long as I live and as of Dec. 13th, 2005 I have suceeded. I was thinking about giving up mayonnaise this year because I eat a lot of it. Instead I decided to give my diet a makeover and start eating healthier. I began reading "The Best Life Diet" which is written by Bob Greene, Oprah Winfrey's diet guru. I switched to light mayo and started eating a lot of "whole grain" foods. I'm enjoying soy milk in my cereal and have fell absolutely in love with edamame (soybeans). I try to eat at least one salad and 2 pieces of raw fruit and a raw veggie a day. They are so good for you and super tasty. I joined the YMCA and have been shooting for 5 days a week and 30-45 minutes each day. So far so good. I'm sleeping better at night because I'm doing something other than laying on the couch every night. I'm really tired when I go to bed. I've even lost a few pounds and want to loose a few more. I going to start tanning today since a tan body looks so much better than a pale white one. And with all these new "projects" I haven't had much time to shop. That's a plus to the ol' budget. I've also found a new respect for my husband. In one of my "silent" drives home the other night I got to thinking about all the things he does for me. He pays all of the bills. I write him a check every month and he takes care of the rest. We're going to Vegas in March and he bought my plane ticket and has even started saving money for the trip (cause I suck at saving money). He pays for our Tivo service, the XM radio service that goes along with the XM radio he installed in my car (he actually installed it himself and didn't pay someone to do it) and he pays my montly gym membership at the YMCA. What a great guy, right?! I'd have to say that 2007 has started off quiet well in my little world.
