A New Year

So I looked back today and realized I only made it through half a year last year with the blog and cut out about 5 weeks of the resolutions. Since I last posted a lot has happened.

I moved to Colorado where I am loving the snow! I have seen some moose and the last few days I've seen a whole herd of elk. My doggie LOVES it out here and we went snowshoeing with some friends from the school on Saturday. She didn't like the DEEP snow, but was ok when there was a packed trail.

The BF and I split in September. I couldn't ever see myself moving back to Missouri and he never even gave the idea of him moving a thought because his career is too important. Why should I think about giving up my chance at one if he's not willing to think about it either. So, we split, he has a new gf, and hangs out with my sister and her fiance all the time. I'm just glad I don't have to deal with him anymore.

As a teacher there is one bad thing... the treats, candy, and cookies begin before Thanksgiving and NEVER END!!! I fell off the wagon with the no sugar thing when I moved out here. First it was a sweet treat about once every other week. The, after I dropped about 12 pounds in a few weeks I decided I needed to slow the weight loss down and bought a thing of ice cream. That led to eating the cookies and snacks given to the teachers. That led to all sorts of bad eating habits for the holiday season and tomorrow it has to end.

Tomorrow is only New Year's Eve, but I have decided my new year should begin on a Monday. Tomorrow begins the cycle of resolutions again. Starting again with week 1: no more processed sugar.

Surprisingly... I may have a friend joining me in this endeavor of no sugar! So that's kind of exciting...
