As we get closer to the New Year, I get closer to my resolutions.
They are usually the same every year: lose weight, read the entire Old Testament in Hebrew, speak Spanish more, get a new job.
Overall, I do quite well with them from January 2nd (who actually begins their resolutions on New Year's Day?) until about Martin Luther King Day (my first official holiday of the year). Then I sleep in that one day and it's easier to hit snooze the next day until I have gone an entire week without doing any of those things.
This year will be different! Well, at least in the weight loss realm.
First of all, I have proven to myself over the past five months that I can control my appetite for things I really love. (Meat, candy, soda)
Second, I am turning 41 in February. Elvis died at 42. I don't want to think that I could be only one year away from dying. (I realize that I could die tomorrow in a car accident., but I'm talking about dying from something I could've avoided. And while I may not take the drugs that Elvis did, I do enjoy a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich.)
Third, I hate clothes shopping! I have already gone down one size in my clothes and I refuse to go buy new clothes that are in a bigger size.
So here's to 2013. The year I lose most of the weight I need to lose.
