Tired

Happy New Year! Gone are the days of partying and drinking till all hours of the morning. This year we had a low key New Years and I loved it! We spent the evening with a handful of couples at various stages of life. One couple was pregnant, one had grown children, one had two small ones. So it was a nice mix of people who understood that being a parent doesn't stop on New Years Eve. We ate, talked, and played games. It was looking like a fabulous night, except for the fact that when all the babies went upstairs to go to bed mine decided she still wanted to party! Yup, she stayed up the entire evening and watched the ball drop. We tried. We tried so hard. We rocked her and sat in the dark and did everything we could to keep her on her normal schedule. She must have known it was a special night and didn't want to miss a thing.

Well, I was glad to have her in my arms at midnight. I was able to kiss my two loves when the ball dropped. But it has left me very tired this morning. She did manage to sleep in a little... until about 9. Which was great! But I think I rely on the normalcy of her routine as much as she does. She is sound asleep right now and I'm seriously considering a nap, too!

New Year Resolution

Are people still doing that? I have never really made a serious resolution. This year I would like to. Of course will be so original and choose something that every woman will be attempting... to lose weight. As I had mentioned a few posts back, I did Weight Watchers a couple of years ago and was very successful. This was a big deal for me because I had tried everything prior to that.... Curves, Atkins, joining a gym. I really don't know why one thing worked and others didn't, but I was happy and motivated by the results.

Anyway, I managed to stop going to meetings and continue the program on my own. Which was great for my wallet! So I feel like I can jump into this program again, but I don't know if I can do it without going back to the meetings and weigh-in's at first.

So my plan is to try and change my eating habits and exercise more. Since we are in the dead of winter and I can't get to a gym with a 7 month old, exercising will be done using my Wii. Yay! I will do this until spring sets in and then I will evaluate my progress. At that point I will decide if I need to start going back to the meetings.

I'm also dragging my poor reluctant husband into it! He has never gone to meetings, but he eats what I eat. So he even lost some weight that last time! I have already informed him that he should eat as much as he wants today because tomorrow I will throwing out all the cookies and pie. He is not happy :)

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope 2010 is a happy, healthy year for you!!
