I love bling. 
And today, I’ve “officially” added to my collection – I’m back to my Weight Watcher’s Lifetime Membership goal!
I’m experiencing such warm hilariosity, I can barely stand it!
That is, until…
Until I recalled that I cheated.
It’s lame to admit it, but I cheated. I wore this java colored cutie before it was “official”. I wore it some days in November and December. I know, I know…L-A-M-E.
I bought it with the heart to motivate me to maintain my goal. And then it took just a few days of savvy bartering and rationalizations to negotiate why it would, in fact, look good on my wrist…it is a brown sweater that I’m wearing after all…
And so down the slippery slope I went…wearing the watch and eating the chow.
“I don’t need to food journal anymore, I’ve so got this…”
“These ____ are on sale and I have a coupon, I’ll buy it cause it’s a good buy…”
“I can eat that cookie, alright, cookieS…they don’t have that many calories, plus I ran this morning…I deserve it.”
Keen bartering and savvy rationalizations are quite a slippery slope alright…(and helped me miss out on two months of B-L-I-N-G). 
Earlier this month, when I asked about your New Year’s resolution…you went all cricketsville on me. Which tells me that you’re not doing a resolution at all or that yours is too private to share on the world-wide web.
I get it.
If it’s a weight loss goal that you’re negotiating, I want to encourage you that there’s still time to join my friend Sherry and her friends!
No matter what you’re thinking about, keep accountable by sharing your goal, word or idea with at least one other person.
Today, I’m grateful to be blinging in the New Year not just on the scale, but near certainly at game night tonight! The Finkster and I are hosting a guys against gals game night with some dear old Air Force friends, friends that we’ve known as long as 17 years now and the camaraderie continues and IT’S ON! We’re a competitive crew.
Three questions(my new bling and thought of game night have me on a hilariosity high…) before I peace you out:
1. What color bling do you think I should shoot for next month?
2. Who do you think’s gonna win game night?
3. A word, a resolution, or something else…how are you blinging in the New Year?
I think red should be next for Valentine’s Day!
I’m on the girls side! How did you do?
I have an entire plan for this next year. I’m reading one book a month, adopting one new habit a month, and completing one in home project a month. I also have a new schedule that I’m going to put into place any day now.
Ohhhh, I like it – “the lady in red!” The gals totally rocked the house baby! Sounds like you have very reasonable/managable plans in place…good work girl!!!
1. silver gray – did you do that one yet???
2. too late for this one but I hope the girls kicked butt
3. resolved to pray for my neighbors on a daily basis
Keep up the good work earning your bling
I need to set a goal for myself so I can reward myself with some bling too!
No silver gray bling yet…neutural and would match a lot! The gals did kick butt
And, I just L-O-V-E your resolution…just beautiful!
1. Purple!!
2. Girls-cause we RULE!
3. Fruits and veggies
Could have guessed purple for ya Char! Girls, (thanks to Shan) did WIN! And, I hope your palm trees (me drooling here…) provide some coconuts for your #3 – YOU GO GIRL!
