In the Next Year....

So contrary to what most people seem to be saying. I really liked 2005, it was a good year for me. So anyway I really like making "resolutions", in fact I know it's silly because I could really quit doing something anytime of the year, but I always look forward to New Year's and Lent so that I have an excuse to give something up. So I think I'm going to give up chocolate and alcohol for 2006. Both with a lot of conditions though. Like I have alot of chocolate right now, and I'm going to go ahead and "finish it" before I start, and of course it would just stupid and unhealthy if I had binged or something to get in before the new year. But I'm not going to buy myself chocolate anymore, if someone gives me chocolate (without me asking), then fine I'll eat it :P . And I may possibly eat it now and then in restaurants. But no more buying myself chocolate treats and just eating them at work or at home. As far as drinking goes, I'm going to make an exception again with alcohol bought with a meal, as long as I'm not driving and I don't drink enough to get drunk. So not too strict I know, but I figure hey it's a start right. Anyway I think for Lent I'm going to give up meat with the exception of fish (of course that'll just be for the duration of lent). I'm looking forward to that. So anyway wish me luck!

 

Oh yeah and Houston went really well. I found an apartment, got a good feel for the city, and had ALOT of fun. So take care everyone.

That's great news about Houston :2thumbs: . There's a lot to do there, and it's a pretty diverse place. It's also a big town, geography-wise, so it's good that you've gone ahead of time to scope things out.

 

Giving up chocolate :o . I seem to attract a lot of people who give me chocolate, so I don't think your proposed limited use :D would work for me.

Happy New Year Kevin!!

 

Congratulations on the apartment! and here is to a great 2006 for you..Now, as to the chocolate.....such blasphemy..LOL...I try not to eat it..I don't buy it and do my best to give it away when I receive it..only because with my hypothyroid I breath and gain weight..you would think if my thyroid had to bet screwed up it couldn't have been hyper so I could eat anything and not gain weight...grrrr..

 

any way....just do more cardio...save the chocolate for treats to reward yourself

 

....the alcohol..well your resolution is a good one...it works well....

 

ok, gym time in a bit..I feel fat just thinking about delicious chocolate...yum!

Hey Michael! Yep the chocolate is definitely going to be the hard one lol. It's really strange this last year I've LOST alot of weight and started eating ALOT more chocolate. But I attribute it to the no more caffiene and healthier lifestyle in general. LOL but it will be funny if I quit eating chocolate and put the weight back :P . Anyway have an awesome day!

Heya Kevin

 

Can I just say that I like the idea of a resolution of giving something up but not really... :great:

 

We don't have Reeses Cups in Aus although I have heard of them...and they sound totally yum! However we have Tim Tam biscuits. They are chocolate bikkies with a layer of chocolate cream in the centre and covered with chocolate. My faves are Caramel Time Tams. They have a caramel layer in the centre instead of chocolate cream. Yummy yum yum yum! I think caramel and chocolate are a marriage made in heaven. :D

 

Several years ago I made a New Years Resolution that I found was quite easy to keep. 0:) I resolved never to make any New Years Resolutions! And...to this day...I have held fast to that resolution.

 

You know how everyone says that a new year can mean a clean slate and new begingings? I think that you have taken that literally with the move to Houston. :thumbup:

 

All the best to you for the New Year and the new home and all the new friends you will make in your new home town.

Awww thanks Bev!! I'm definitely going to give the clean slate idea a chance! Wow those tim tams sound awesome! I agree, chocolate and carmel are the perfect pairing.....all though lately I've been going with chocolate and chocolate as a pairing :P .

 

LOL that's a good idea about the New Year's resolutions! I dunno I just kinda like the excuse to try to do better. Of course I know I could just as easily decide on june 17th or something that it was time to cut out bad habits.

 

Anyway I hope you had a really really happy New Year, and may the next year bring you much peace and happiness and many blessings! Take care and have an awesome day!
