Though I know many people who are determined to start some new phase of their lives starting January 1st, I know far less of them that actually succeed. In many ways, this is a totally arbitrary date and has no more meaning to your real life than April 15th, only that people believe it does. I celebrate anyone who's reading this who has committed to changing anything as grand as their lives as or as small as a bad habit, but the only way you're going to succeed is to do it when you're good and ready. I quit smoking March 21st 1997; I quit eating badly Feb 28th, 2004. To this day I have not "fallen off" the wagon of either, but I must also admit that there were no great plans to do either—I just followed a particular path. I was going to list off things I learned this year, but I couldn't think of any. That is, I couldn't think of the ones I had thought of in my head. But I do remember I wanted to tell everyone "don't smell your water bottle—nothing good will ever come of it."
Breakfast
2 Slices of Balthazar Multi-Grain Bread (even Emily said "That's Damn Good Bread")
Peanut Butter
2.5 oz Jalapeno 50% Cheddar
Lunch
Cheese Omelet
Emily's New Wok Broccoli and Celery
Snacks & Such
A few almonds and cashews
a few bites of Turkey Deli Meat (for sampling)
10 Melba Wheat Thins (Whole Grain)
2 oz. Cheddar Cheese
Dinner
Meatloaf
Salad
On Tuesday, I am returning to Phase One. This has been brought on by both my desire to lose more weight and my inability to get past 196 where I was stuck (and probably higher than that following this long holiday season). Due to inclement weather forecast for Tuesday and the rest of this week, I'm not sure whether I'll get weighed this week or next. But make no mistake, I'll be Phase One-ing it.
