“Goals allow you to control the direction of change in your favor.” - Brian Tracy

I like that. Make some resolutions.

My sis and I are trying to go down. I will beat her this week. Colonoscopy tomorrow. Desperate times, call for desperate measures. Bet I lose more than she does. lol

“Get a good idea and stay with it. Dog it, and work it until it’s done and done right.”- Walt Disney

Getting carpets cleaned, not exactly dogging it, although they are doggy. This evening is at my parents. I’m getting to see 2 of my siblings and many of my nieces and nephews. So excited. I will bring some appetizers.

Have a great New Year’s Eve.

“I find it fascinating that most people plan their vacation with better care than they do their lives. Perhaps that is because escape is easier than change.” - Jim Rohn

Well your life seems so open ended. If your Doc said you have only 2 years to live, I’ll bet you could plan your 2 years. Maybe I should think of it that way.

No, supper for me. I ate too much at lunch.

DD1s correctly sized coat finally came. It looks great on her and I am letting her have it early. It’s cold. I need to return the other two. She also decided she wanted a super large mirror. Way pricey, but I found one on Craig’s list that fit the bill. The lady was moving. I put it in my car. It filled it side to side and back to front. I drove it up to her apartment. I won’t see her until Christmas after noon at my brother’s so she can enjoy these before Christmas.

Shopping for Christmas eve treats. Seafood Chowder, mmmmmmmm.

Try something new today.

Eating my careful breakfast. Hoping to not blow it by lunch.

“To get up each morning with the resolve to be happy . . . is to set our own conditions to the events of each day. To do this is to condition circumstances instead of being conditioned by them.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

Did ok, not great. Ate 3 cookies, but it was not more. Need more fluid though. Going to go drink some now.

I am happy, even if I am failing at the diet. Ran errands dropping of gifts today. Took DD3 to swim and picked her up. Did a little laundry. Bought some stuff at the local thrift. One great grey wool London Fog coat which is a little small, but one can hope. $8 in great condition.
