Back to Reality

The party is over.

The tree is down. The decorations are put away.

The billfold is slim and the scale is bulging.

It’s time to get back to reality – back to school, to work, to normal sized portions and daily exercise.

I’m ready.

I’m ready for routine, for a schedule, for the normal routine of daily life, and yes – even for a day without Christmas goodies. <gulp>

I’m ready to make good on my New Year’s resolutions.

Seriously I am.

This year I resolve  not over spend my food budget and finally lose those last twenty pounds. (Hmmm… I wonder if those two are related?!)

And I’m ready to start right now.

Seriously I am.

Right after I have one last caramel hot chocolate…

    Enjoy “normalcy”. 🙂

  3. Hey Friend! Getting back in a routine this week has been P*A*I*N*F*U*L however Mallary the sweet, joyful child she is just said, “I can’t wait for school next week”! It’s Friday and I am pumped about the weekend yet she is already looking forward to school on Monday!

    I too have had one too many peanut butter bon-bons, chocolate covered pretzels and all the other fun, fattening food that goes with Christmas time! :o) I’m NOT putting away the cappuccino and coffee though!
