Happy New Year!


Typically, January 1st is the morning when I wake up and realize that all my holiday overindulgence has come home to roost.


Yes, it's time to pay the piper. You know what I mean -- the dreaded "D word."


I will be strong! I will deny myself! I can do it!



I will be vigilant! There will be no snaccidents!


And I will get to a gym! Pronto!




But then, all the rationalizations and excuses will start to kick in.



And all of a sudden, the old bod doesn't seem that bad after all.


So by the end of today, this will be my defiant New Year's stance --


Hey, where'd that nonsense about "sober" come from?

  1. Happy New Year tootes.

    Just yesterday I saw 6 people exercising and jogging out my window. And I thought to myself, I really should get up and get another glass of champagne.

  4. New Year's Resolutions are for weaklings.
    I defy them openly, so why bother making them.
    I will just be me...it makes life easier for those around me :)

    Great post!
    Happy New Year Debra πŸŽŠπŸŽ‰

  6. Nice.

    Anyway, if we stuck by our guns and became perfect this year, then what would we have as our resolution next year?

    I'm just thinking long-term.

  11. The donut one killed me! I used to have a T-shirt that read "Inside this body is a skinny woman crying to get out. I ate her." I outgrew that shirt years ago.

  13. All the best in 2019 to you! and I have got to have that Proverb running shirt. Heading off now to research the internet for it.

  14. I'm wondering if I have cancer or some kind of disease that is making the pounds slide off me. If it don't kill me then I intend to market this shit. I gotta make some bucks somehow. I loved the tweet from Jamie Kenney. I read it to David in my Scottish voice he thought it was kinda sexy. So now I'm sorta speaking in tongues. He thinks it's hawt. Wait til I say something in my butchered French. He's gonna lose it.
    BWAAAAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAAAHAHAAA! Damn! I tinkled muhself again.

  16. ha! yea, I'm not much for New Year's resolutions ... they just upset me in a few weeks when I realize that it was never going to happen anyway ;)

  17. As we both used the "button extension" to do up our dress shirts last night a decision was made to change a few eating habits. Wish us luck!

  18. My spouse buys donuts at the day old bakery outlet, I try to throw them out to the raccoons and squirrels as soon as possible! We are of the same age and it gets harder to keep the pounds from creeping on. Good luck with your quest and Happy New Year!

  21. Happy new year! Regarding weight gain and dieting, my mum once told me something very wise: don’t worry about what you eat between Christmas and the New Year, check what you eat between New Year and Christmas.

  27. Hee hee hee hee hee...those are a blast Debra! I never make resolutions! I am feeling the food coma this morning, that's for sure and I'm sure I've gained my "winter" weight already lol...I'll end up losing it when the warmer weather comes along and I'm more active, so I don't bother worrying about it! Sober???? NEVER!!! ;) Oh my gosh, now I have a name for what I do...snackciddent...I had a few of those lately lol...in the form of a whole box of Turtles, then a big bag of Hershey Kisses!!! :) I wouldn't have it any other way!!! :)

  38. My loving heart always wants me to eat forever too. You're supposed to follow your heart, right?

    Enjoy divine eats this year.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I can't stand being inactive, some I'm always exercising in some shape or form. But carbs... I just can't quit you! (Especially rice!)

  42. Amen! I've gained at least fifteen pounds in the last five months because of my med change and was like, "Oh my gosh! Nothing fits! I look so fat!" Then I thought about it. Who cares? I'm almost fifty years old. I don't need to parade around in a bikini anymore. I'm good. Now pass me some chocolate cake. :)

  43. I had to go to Dr on New Years Eve and of course the second you walk in door, they weigh you. NOT the best idea to start a new year but WHATEV's! I am going to stay plump and not even pretend to diet this year. Round is a Shape so I am in shape!
