On New Year's Eve we had a traditional celebrations with a music, and a good food, lots of good food. And traditionally, we were all dressed up for the occasion.
I felt great in size 8! Even though I had to do an unexpected shopping on the New Year's Eve and spent some extra cash (which I was saving for a new camera), it was all worth it.
I put on my new outfit, a new make up, and an all-face smile. I still can't get over the fact that I am size 8... Last year I had to do some unexpected shopping before holidays too, but in a different department, size 1X... Last year I didn't even have it on my New Year's resolution list to loose weight.
Twelve months later, or 30 pounds later, and here is a new me, size 8...

So, how do I start 2012?
Weight - 158.2 lb
Size - 8
***
My 2012 resolutions:
1. Want less!!! When I see something I want to add to my cart, leave it where it is, think overnight, ask myself a question: "Do I really need it?" Think again. (Groceries are not included).
2. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.
3. Eat whole foods - vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes. Minimize processed food in my kitchen - if it must be processed, it has to be processed in my kitchen from whole ingredients (when possible).

My plans for 2012:
1. Keep my workout routine (about 2 hours a day five days a week).
2. Get that camera finally!!! (I am still taking pictures with my Samsung Droid Charge cellphone...)
3. Reduce spending to $500 per month (including food, gas, dining out, and clothes). This one is going to be challenging but we decided to try.

4. I've been thinking on switching to a bike for a while now, however Fort Smith is not a bike friendly (or a pedestrian friendly for this matter - there are only two-tree streets with sidewalks). I need to give it another thought and talk to my husband again (his concern, so is mine, is safety).

My dream:
I want a cat, something like this (everyone can have a dream, right?):
I think I've got everything.
Lets roll through the 2012 to our success!
Don't forget to have some fun along the way!
Until next time,

P.S. Forgot one, No Wining for a year! :)
