and a happy new year

I realize that there are many resolutions being made and the majority involve losing weight and so I just thought I would put in a bit of advice
Baby steps
Resolve tonight that during the first week of new years you will increase exercise 50% and not drink anything with calories for 7 days. Then in one week you can proudly and truthfully state that your resoluition was complete and that you are a goal finisher not a resolution breaker...
It is the ADD approach to New Years resolutions, it works, and it is delightful to succeed at something once a week! Just check back in and we can work on next week, next week: "Sufficient for the day is the evil therein" - (and I have no idea who said it.)

Calamity update: is anyone in shock that I am posting? 2 weeks ago I had a hysterectomy and I have been in bed. This is the start of week 3 and I am going stir crazy. However each time I get up to do something productive I am hindered by this stupid recovery time. I am starting to realize that major surgery means pain, bed, and, "oh what the heck why not blog from my cool new phone?"

I don't know if anyone will find me, but here I am - and unfortunately I'm not going anywhere!
