Hmm... a slow start but acceptable since I was out of town. We drove back home this evening and only got home about 45 minutes ago.
Ate well this morning and afternoon. Diet was difficult being on the road. Too much coffee and caffeine but i had a salad during the road trip. Tomorrow plan to work out my own ADA list of foods by category with all the protein substitutions for meat.
If packing everything up counts as exercise... LOL... Okay a good walk is in order tomorrow.
I didn't dwell on anything and stayed positive except for a few minutes during the drive. I didnt really send out the love today so need to work on that tomorrow.
Still seeking a friend... hahaha.

Day 1
I happen to be out of town starting out which makes it a little more difficult. My M-I-L is a great cook, loves to cook and loves to feed. She made Eggs Benedict (my all time favorite breakfast) this morning. How could I say no. However, I did make my resolutions afterward. For dinner we went out and I followed my ADA diet only missing protein. I just had a heaping spoonful of peanut butter once we returned to the house.
Hubby, daughter, and I took a brisk family walk. Not a long one but I pushed the stroller on inclines and I did feel it.
Worked on postive conversation and purposely did not comment on any negative remarks. I also concentrated on fun and silly conversation with my toddler. She is a great conversationalist. I cannot wait until I can understand all she has to say.
I looked up books on Debussy for F-I-L. Then played a Debussy analysis on YouTube for him. I tried to wait patiently to get my tablet back, LOL. I believe Hubby and I convinced my in-laws on how useful a tablet would be for them.
I feel it was a decent start. I didn't dwell, was positive, covered diet and exercise.
Excited to head home tomorrow. Looking forward to cuddling up in my wonderful bed and a shopping trip to the market for my favorite healthy food.

Outline the Plan.
It is a new year and time for new starts. This blog really is just for me. A way to hold myself accountable; not only to New Year resolutions but to starting fresh and leaving all the C.R.A.P. from the last 10 years behind me.
Number 1: No dwelling on the past.
It is what it is. I cannot change it but I can move forward to bigger and better things. So I endeavor to not talk about it, not to dwell upon it, not to let it control my future.
Number 2: A positive and cheery outlook.
Science is finding that happy people are healthy people (putting it in simplistic terms). So as the song goes "Don't Worry, Be Happy". I figure a daily dose of compliments, passing on good wishes, and good news is in order.
Number 3: Look good and feel good.
Everyone includes weight loss/fitness in their resolutions, right? While I have a number of pounds to lose in mind, I'd rather focus on how I look and feel. Mostly I want to 'lose' the Baby fat since she is not really a baby anymore. Of course this includes a regimen of fitness.
Number 4: Vegan is not a four letter word.
So while related to number 3, I am a little more specific about my diet plan. I am going back on the ADA (american diabetes association) diet I followed while expecting. Plus, I am going off meat except for seafood once or twice a week. This way I can stave off diabetes and manage my colitis without drugs.
Number 5: Make a friend.
Actually, I would like to make a few friends, but one would be a good start. Being a hermit is overrated. It is high time I get back out there and be the social being I used to be.
While technically these are New Year's resolutions I am thinking of them more as New Life Resolutions. And, if anyone follows my blog I will think that it is funny. Like I said, it really is just for me. Let the New Life and New Year begin.
