New Year, 2011

On my status yesterday, I commented that I wasn't making a New Year's Resolution because I have already been working on it. However, I did keep those existing goals in mind while I celebrated.

Yes, I allowed myself to celebrate, and partake in foods that I normally wouldn't, but managed to maintain some moderation. For example, it's been a while since I have gone to a bar, and it was tempting to go back to my usual favorite - Rum and Coke. Granted, the Vodka Cranberry I ended up having (2) was only marginally better, (if at all since the fountain juice was probably HFCS sweetened) but it kept me to my goal of not having soda. Also, I maintained a balance by also drinking water.

The afternoon is going to be occupied with more social gatherings, although I know there will be a lasagna temptation this evening at one of them.

Happy New Year to all, now that the ball has dropped, it's time to raise the Spark back up.
