2008: That's A Wrap

I am not going to write a long, eloquent end of year post and wax nostalgic.

I am not going to bloviate on all of my plans for 2009.

What I will do is celebrate:

• I am leaving 2008 a whole lot lighter than I started it
  
• I have established real, consistent changes in my lifestyle
  
• I look and feel better than I ever have in my life

There will be no New Year's Resolutions from me. I don't believe in them because they put undue pressure on people to be perfect and nobody ever lives up to that.

My plans for 2009 do not include resolution, but merely a commitment to continue what was started in 2008:

• eat a rich and healthy diet filled with all of the fruits, grains, vegetables and beans that I can handle
• make exercise a top, non-negotiable, priority in my life
• look for new ways to make a happier and healthier me
• never beat myself up for slipping and always pick myself up when I do
• face each new day with enthusiasm to stick to the plan

That, in a nutshell, is how I feel about 2008 and what I aim to do in 2009. I hope you will join me in this endeavor. I love the constant stream of support that I have found here on the world wide web. I would love to have you along for the ride.

Happy New Year!
