Today is my day to IWIWT. I know what you mean about the Christmas pics. I've got more chins than a chinese phonebook
So true about the pics. I saw one of me that a coworker recently took of us (at a restaurant, of course) and I hardly recognized myself. Seriously. I had no idea my face was really that BIG!!!!! I have taken this week off from work and am getting a plan into motion, new diet/nutrition, maybe even a health club.Today is it....sugar detox.
(Sugar detox is one of the worst. Good luck!!)

DD: THAT was a very funn poem...
Toots: Congrats on moving toward quitting smoking.
We had a fantastic Christmas Eve, Christmas, and New Years. Spent new Years weekend in Siesta Key to see my husband's father and stepmother and it was so gorgeous -- hot and sunny.
Ate way too much in the past 10 days and I won't weigh myself until this Saturday. I'm going to visit a few health places this week to look for a trainer, maybe a heated pool, yoga, etc.
My word to describe my goals for this coming year is "mindfulness", which I'm going to take to mean slowing down, paying attention to what is happening in the moment. So, this would mean appreciating every bite of food (ideally only eating good food), eating slowly, stopping when I'm finished with the portion and not continuing to eat unless it's fruit/vegetable at one sitting. More generally, it would mean being fully present in what I'm doing at the moment rather than worrying about tomorrow. I may try to be a mindful exerciser which means doing the exercise without complaining or watching the clock and just paying attention to the moment ("hah!" on this one).
I'm also going to follow Merm's lead and try to have a feng shui'd house -- which to me means less clutter, getting rid of a LOT of stuff, etc.
I'm right now looking forward to these changes... let's see how it goes...

Paula: You continue to be an inspiration!!
Mindful~~I like it!!
I thought today might be my quit smoking day, but alas, I think I might need to see the doc first and get something to take the edge off..you know, addictive personality and all...
Anyhoo, I'll see him tomorrow and after his 10 minute lecture, I should have a better plan. He thinks we smokers and eaters should just be able to quit...don't know what planet he hails from.
I guess my goal for January should be just "healthier"...and all the things that encompasses.
So glad I have this forum....I'm gonna need you all more than ever!
Mindfulness. good one paula. too often we just toss out of our minds some pretty important things we just don't want to think about - like being mindful or aware of taking care of ourselves.
DD - get to the doctor and try the new chantix or wellbutrin (zyban). I've heard good things about both.

And buy an entire supply of nicotine patches. The Wellbutrin helps with the mental part, but does nothing for your body's physical nicotine addiction. It is such an easy way to help yourself along- and you will feel beter physically during the time when your mind is going crazy.
I also can't stress enough about really plannng out a quit date. It will drastically improve your success rate. If you are going the med route, give yourself 2 or 3 weeks on the meds. Pick a quit date several weeks out, and you will find yourself thinking and planning and believe it or not, getting excited about it.
