Week Three Tuesday - New Years Day

You’d think that a diet with zero deprivation and only a few easy add-ons would be pretty hard to break. However, I have managed to get of track on the easiest diet in the world. Thank God it’s New Years Day and time for resolutions.

(FYI --off track in my case means… I ran out of the vitamins and didn’t manage the four glasses of water. I only did the tea once a day instead of twice and completely failed to eat one fruit the last couple days, much less two. And I completely failed at gratitude and visualization)

So…. My New Year’s Resolutions

I resolve to stick to the Must Have, Writer’s Strike, High School Reunion Diet! ( I resolve to choose a name for said diet)

I resolve to buy more vitamins
I resolve to drink four or more glasses of water a day
I resolve to eat two fruits a day
I resolve to try my other tricks like celery and grapefruit
I resolve to buy grapefruit
I resolve to walk at least twenty minutes a day
I resolve to be grateful in advance for my thin fabulous figure
I resolve to visualize my goal at least once a day
I resolve to not lose my blogs
I resolve to make two million dollars next year (a nice number, not too greedy but solves a lot of problems)
I resolve to see an early end to writer’s strike (in our favor)
I resolve to be a better mother
I resolve to diaper train Joey (youngest child) and see him happily in pre-school
I resolve to see Abby (oldest child) get her license
I resolve to help Elana (middle child) make decisions
I resolve to have a way better marriage
I resolve to send out New Years Cards
I resolve to be a more relaxed person
I resolve to get some decent clothes for my new figure
I resolve to be kind, helpful and decent
I resolve to help bring about world peace

It would be selfish to ask the Universe for two million dollars and not world peace….

Also, I’m sure there are those that think one million would suffice. They don’t live in LA. First of all, you have to think taxes. To actually get a million, you have to earn two million. Plus, In LA one million just helps you out of debt on the small track house you live in. What the government leaves you on that extra million can be that luxury you’ve always wanted like dinner and movie.

I think BIG. Except, of course, regarding my body. Think small.

So far today I have had an English Muffin with a wee bit of butter and jam and a little bit of my son’s whole fat yogurt, the tea, the water and three slices of a mandarine orange.

Lunch was largely popcorn. Three varieties, with a little cheese, some crackers and a piece of French toast and OJ. Hard to imagine how that all happened but true. Oh! Forgot the apple!

Dinner... Chicken poblano and rice with tortilla chips and red wine.

still no vitamins... tomorrow I promise...
