I'm beginning to think that I should have put the word "willpower" as the choice for the month. There are 3 loaves of banana bread in the oven and the house smells heavenly HOWEVER, banana bread is NOT on my list of acceptable foods for today or probably for at least the next couple of weeks. I must remain steadfast in my plan and let the boys have it. My eyes are on the prize and that prize is at least a size 10 pair of jeans. I remember how those felt and how they looked. After that, a size 8 is just around the corner. So, we don't need no steenking banana bread!!!

Spent the morning in a somewhat sleepy haze then finally motivated myself at about 11:00. I have a bit of a scratchy throat and a cough associated with it and a somewhat queasy stomach. No excuses though, that is the 2012 motto. When I am done updating some important digital housekeeping, I will do my 1 hour workout, then go for a walk or a bike ride. Getting some post Christmas housework done, laundry caught up, and wrapping up a few other things today. Kind of a boring yet necessary first day of the year.
