Doing this again.....

2011 is here.
I am starting things new, I really am. I have got such great plans for myself. This is the place the re-beginning begins. ( is re-beginning a word?)

I made some of last years resolutions without problems. read 20 books... my goal was 18. saw 13 movies in the theater and many more on netflix, I do think I was a better friend. Those things remain, but while some will argue that my life has always been 100% about me, 2011 really is going to be about me.

I initially resolved to be a better "girl friend". Recognizing that meant being part of a team, sharing more, sacrificing more. I have reconsidered that in the last week.
This may sound incredible selfish, but I have to take care of me. The time I did best this past year, was the month or so I forced myself to the gym, watched my diet, pampered me. I am dedicating my whole year to that.
It means gym three times a week, Yoga twice a week. I am considering the 17 day diet.... I am going to try Marie's version first. we will see. I have to allow myself the freedom of Tuesday night dinners and other luxuries.
I am right now feeling sorry for myself. I caught a cold in Florida. It has hung on.,... and I am miserable.... I hate being sick with no one to take care of me... even if it is buying me chicken soup and saltines. But like so much else, I will get through this. It is just a cold, just post holiday blues ...
Yet so much to look forward to. A trip with best friends, the task of really cleaning the house.... checking my life. sorting all of this and ridding myself of much stuff!! I have too much stuff in my life. Then two big family events to be part of !! From there.... life is an adventure and I am ready!
BRING IT ON.....
