2009 Reasons To Have A Good Year.
I am going to list 2009 reasons why I'm going to have a great year this year. FALSE.
I am finally going to slay the 200 pound dragon that lives inside my body. TRUE. This is the year people. I am going to break the 200 pound barrier....starting Monday.
I am excited about going to Hawaii again. TRUE. We leave in April.
My Dad is in remission. FALSE. I've had several people ask me about this...it's not true but 2009 is still going to be a record year for him since he was only supposed to live until June 2008!
I looked better 10 years ago. FALSE. Seriously...I look at old pictures and wonder how I ever got married.....and then I look at Calvin's old pictures and it all makes sense.
Calvin and I are writing a book together. FALSE...but we really should because people are always commenting on how 'lucky' we are to have a good marriage and well behaved children....it's not 'luck' people....it's hard work....
I'm happy the holidays are over. FALSE. I love sleeping in....I love eating chocolate....I love tobogganing and I love family time. Real life starts again in less than 48 hours.
This New Years was the best one yet. TRUE. We had SO much fun playing 'Rock Band' and 'Dance Dance Revolution' at Wayne and Laura's house this year with 8 other couples....I didn't even get tired until 1 am! It's like I'm a grown up!
One of my personal goals this year is to stop the negative self talk. TRUE. I have elaborated in the past about this phenomenon of never feeling like I'm 'enough' but a few months ago I had a revelation...anyway, the negative self talk must go.
I'm giving up carbs this year. FALSE. That's just stupid.
I'm going to do four days of cardio this year. EVERY WEEK. TRUE. Dangit.
Calvin actually lost weight over Christmas. TRUE. !$%&*+?
I lost weight this Christmas. FALSE. I gained 6 pounds. HOW FAIR IS THAT? He eats and drinks way more than me and I GAIN?
Calvin's job is more secure than ever. FALSE. SO SO FALSE. His job is on the line more than ever.
I am worried about Calvin losing his job. FALSE. I can not control the global economy...repeat after me....I can not control the global economy.
I love January hockey. TRUE. Now it starts to get good.
PS It's totally not fair that Calvin gained weight. Not fair at all! I refused to weigh myself and spared the inevitable trauma of a less than stellar number.
Oh you and I are on the same wave-length although you are way more ambitious than I.
And also, I only just saw your last post (It was against my religion to crack my computer over the holidays) and how funny that it's a pic of you and I. What are the chances of that?
