so far so good

yesterday was kelly's annual collage party.  you're supposed to focus on your goals or things you want in the new year and find pictures or text that inspire you.  i had pre with me so i didn't spend a lot of time flipping through magazines.  i had a pretty good idea of my goals; lose this damn weight, find time to relax, don't spend money like a jackass.

even with my somewhat mobile baby, i was able to cobble together a picture of what i want in 2010.  lots of hammocks depicted in the collage (i didn't see that coming) with a smattering of positive words about living healthy.

did you know that nothing makes you hungry like a fitness magazine?  i was hungry to begin with and it didn't help that there were pages and pages of food porn in all the get fit magazines i was looking through.  on top of that there was actual food at the party.  plates of cheese, bowls of chips, a really, really tempting array of home-baked brownies and cookies.  i almost gave in to it all.  kelly, my angel made me a plate of meatless chicken nuggets.  just 3 points for 5 nuggets!  i was able to finish the day without crumbling.

this morning, feeling very confident about my efforts, i decided to get on the scale.  i wasn't crushed by the number.  i know that it is the heaviest i will be in 2010.
