Weigh in today revealed that I have gained another 0.6 lbs, for a total of 5.8 lbs gained over the holidays.  The gain has pushed me back above both my 10% mark and my 20lb loss mark.  While it is hard to accept that I’ve back pedaled, I am choosing to look at the fact that I am still 16.8 lbs lighter in 2008 than I was in 2007.  

 I know there is the whole hullabaloo about resolutions and all but quite frankly I believe in them.  I like goals, I like resolutions, I like thinking of myself as a fine wine getting better with age!  I fully expect I will be a better version of myself come next year!  If not I’ve only wasted the time and who wants that? 

I find myself constantly setting goals but then I’m one of those list freaks.  I set weekly goals, monthly goals, quarterly goals, and annual goals.  I found that I typically achieve at least 70% of the goals.  While that’s not 100%, it’s much more than I would have accomplished if I hadn’t set the goals in the first place.

 So I am starting fresh!  I have been on program all day and focused on becoming a better me!  It’s all about choices and I choose to be happier, healthier, and helping my family do the same.  I hope you’re all doing well and going strong too!
