I really hate the idea of NY resolutions. I think its totally ridiculous to wait until the new year to set a goal. Besides...I always celebrate my birthday as the beginning of my year...I think that is more to the point. Your birthday is YOUR day...its the day where you start all over again...anyway...I digress.
The point is, I hate NY resolutions. I never, EVER bother making them, though I have probably been guilty of gym membership or two on Jan 1..or maybe 2....well...anyway...THIS year though, after an incredible food and drink fest that was the holidays, I DID make a resolution. This year, I will take care of my body. I will exercise regularly, I will eat better, I will drink more water...I will think good thoughts...and..if by doing all this, I just HAPPEN to lose a little weight, well, then, that would be a nice bonus.
So, last week was great. I felt great..I was hydrated, I went to Yoga twice, I walked Makapu'u once, we went snorkling on Saturday, the current was incredible and so was the workout.
Ahhh. Life was good. I felt confident that I could keep up the pace.
Ok - I made one more: not to consume so much. That doesn't mean I won't go to COSCTO, but rather I will not be wasteful of food, I will ask myself why I am buying something and I will be more concious of what I am sending to the landfill.
Speaking of landfills.
After all the back patting last week about my good behavior...last night, I went to ColdStone. I got the medium in the paper-throw away cup.
I never once asked myself why I was doing it. I never admonished myself for wanting it. I didn't let the guilt ruin my inhalation of my Sweet Cream Icecream with Black Cherries and White Chocolate Chips. I felt a certian sweetness, a childishness at devouring my ice cream before it melted. I thought of Piper and her concentration and determination to ENJOY her ice cream...with abondon.
And then, you know what I DIDN'T do? I didn't go to the ColdStone website to figure out how many calories I had.
Ah, I am so glad its the THIRD week of the year...all the pressure is off.

We should all eat ice cream with such abandon and never with guilt. My current theory? Live the rest of your day so that you can eat your ice cream tonight, WITH abandon and black cherries on top instead of guilt. :)
