It’s the end of the month and it’s time to make it known how I did on my 30 day New Year’s Resolution.  As you can tell by the title, I had mixed success.  I’m happy to report that I went an entire month without caffeine or ice cream!  I really had my doubts that I’d last a month without ice cream.  I went three weeks without sugar but ended up eating food that had sugar in it (you’d be surprised how many foods have sugar in them that you would never think did) and then gave in to the organic hot cocoa that The Daddy got from one of his students as part of a Christmas gift.  I only lasted two weeks without a glass of wine.  I know I said I was gonna jump back on the band wagon and go the rest of the time without but the wagon sped off so I ended up having a glass or two a week the last two weeks.  Still, not bad. 

To celebrate this morning I started my day with a large cup of coffee that kept me buzzing until noon (and I start my day early!)  And to end the day, I just finished a pint of Ben and Jerry’s.  Ahhhh…contentment.

But I think I’m gonna continue this because I do feel better.  Not that I’m not occasionally going to have a cup of coffee, a glass of wine, or a bit of ice cream (okay that really should have read a vat of ice cream!) but I’m not going to make it a daily habit.  Famous last words?  Naw, I don’t think so.  The resolution fit it’s purpose.  I needed to break some habits and I did.  Yay me!
