It is crazy that it is 2012! The last part of the year seemed to fly by at an incomprehensible speed. Work has finally slowed down a big, the holidays were a wonderful time spent with family and I even sold my first item at The Top Button. It seems I have a log of to do items with the business. One of them is to get some posts up over there as well. Specifically about the scarf that I sold. We (mom & I) figured out how to make labels using twill tape and iron transfers, they look really nifty.
I made quite a few resolutions last year and didn't do so well, this year is a bit lighter on resolutions. My main one is to continue to work on bettering my health. I'd like to really get the diabetes under control with just how I eat and the exercising and get off any medication that I have to take.
I also want to keep experimenting with recipes and different foods. I'm pretty much a wheat eater, but I'd like to cut out all refined white foods, although I'm not sure what all that would include. I received a bread maker for Christmas and I have some whole wheat recipes to try so I'm excited about that.
Beyond those two I really do not have any resolutions. Things I would like to improve in my life, but those are the major things that I'm focused on.
I am still doing weight watchers and I've started the couch to 5k program. I am up to week 4 of 9. Though it has taken me longer than 4 weeks to get to this point, it is still progress. And amazing that I can now run.
So here is to a fabulous new year. I hope you all had a wonderful end of 2011 and an even better start to 2012!!

Good for you!
ReplyDeleteI started weight watchers 2 days ago. I just felt like I was in really bad eating patterns and it was starting so show, even though I'm in pretty good shape overall. It's good to know I'm not alone!
And I applaud your running efforts! It took me a long time to learn to run, just stick with it. And I have a magnet on my fridge that says, "You may hate me at the start, but I know you'll love me in the end. - Running" Some days I think of that at the beginning of a workout, too.
