Blizzard, Date night, Elbows, & My New Year's Resolution

     I don't think I've ever made a New Year's Resolution, besides the every-year-nonchalant-i-want-to-lose-weight-this-year one. This year, though, I've already lost weight and I already know I'm going to keep at it. So, I have a NEW New Year's Resolution: to stop saying negative things about myself. And hopefully to get to a point where I stop thinking them, too. I'm learning more and more that the relationship I have with myself is one of the most important. If I get to goal and I don't already love myself, nothing is going to change. I'll gain all the weight back and end up still being miserable. So I plan to work very hard this year on learning about myself, trusting myself, being honest with myself, and loving myself EXACTLY AS I AM. One thing that I plan on doing to help achieve this resolution is talking to a counselor. I've been trying to find one that I am comfortable with for a very long time, but I need to make a better effort, so I am going to. This will definitely be as hard - probably harder - than losing weight, but I'm up for the challenge. I'm ready to start living my life.

     Yesterday was my & my honey's 1 year 8 month anniversary ♥♥♥. We're celebrating tonight (hopefully, if the weather allows!) by going to see a movie and eat at our favorite restaurant :). I'm so excited!! I love you boo!

     Ooohhh, and I also wanted to tell you something else - I think my elbows are getting smaller! Last night I was laying in bed with my arms over my eyes, and I realized that I could reach further across and that my elbows are growing bones :O! Woooooooh!

     It's seriously a blizzard here right now. I took pictures, but they look pretty much the same as the last snow pictures I posted and you can't really tell how hard it's coming down. I live in Texas, so we don't always get a lot of snow in the winter (or in any of the other seasons, hmph). This winter, thought, is a different story. It seems like it's snowing every other day! And I don't mean a light flurry; it's full-on, windy, big-flaked, sticking to everything, inches-thick snow. This particular storm started sometime last night and it still going strong; apparently it's not supposed to stop until 6pm! I just hope we can still go on our date! Other than that, I LOVEEEEEEE it :).

     Have you made a New Year's Resolution this year? What are you planning to do to make sure & stick with it?

     I hope you ALL have a PERFECT New Year and I will talk to you in 2010 ;)!

xo,
