NEW YEARS BREAKFAST

 morning weight: 263

craig and i went out for a breakfast on New years..
went to IHOP, because i wanted eggs and some meat like bacon, sausage, or the like.
i ended up with the lowest calorie egg omelet they offer (320 cals): Spinach/Mushroom/Tomato NO meat...
and water (blah!) to drink.
oh and a side of fresh fruit.
the grapes..OMG! i had forgotten how good they are! lol

youll note..my omlete has onions on it, NOT part of it, they just included them..they were pretty good...gave the omelet some flavor, i also used craigs salsa as my 'sauce'
if you look at the top of the pic, you can see craig had a colorado omelet (a whopping 1120 cals!)

yes, part of the new year is my concentration on what i put in my body, as well as exercise.

breakfast was very good, i was stuffed from my smaller omelet...but it did the trick.

NEW YEARS EVE/NEW YEARS

so, im of an age now where going out and seeing fireworks, and being among a bunch of people isnt the end all be all to the bane of my personal existance.
drinking was put to rest a LOOOONG time ago...parties along with it.

new years is the end of a long 2 months from october 31st (halloween) to january 1 (new years) filled with stress, and ALLOT of it.

i go into panic mode the second we finish halloween, because i know that im going to be ultra busy, and not really have any mental rest.
as we creep up to new years, i get to think about relaxing again.
and so it is..i WELCOME the new year!

so, one of the things i decided to do wasto not make any REAL resolutions, id set some small goals, work towards achieving them, and when i was done, make more...none of this business where i say im gonna lose weight, or whatever and then never get to that marker...

one of my 1st goals, was to change my hair color, which i did, and right at the new year, stpeepped out of the shower wearing my new red !

its nothing really new, i do this every year..just thought id  show it. :)


this new years was pretty quiet in the neighborhood, normally we have a ton of fireworks going off all over, but this year it lasted fo about 5 minutes and it was done. to which i was very greatful for, because it allowed me to sleep better.

happy new year 2012...lets make this one better than the last!

BEFORE


AFTER

NEW YEAR, NEW ME, NEW HAIR COLOR

this is nothing new, i do this every single year...start the new year off with the idea im going to reinvent myself, become the person i envision inside myself...and do the smaller changes to accomplish, at least the exterior appearance of such action.


and so, it goes, ive started the action again.
went out with craig to get some minor groceries at the store, while there, i suggested he pick out a hair color he enjoyed and id wear it (im lucky he enjoyes red heads...lol, i can imagine, for a joke, hed come home with PURPLE or some crazy thought, lol)
so we agreed on the color...and i said id put it on.


i waited until the next day while daniel was busy doing his thing with the TV and game system, i went and timed my hair and waited for it to become the luxurious, beautiful red we saw on the box cover.


heres some pics of the result..not bad, im pleased with it thus far.


what i looked like BEFORE:




and AFTER:











yeah, im rockin this color!

EVERY NEW BEGINNING COMES FROM SOME OTHER BEGINNINGS END

Happy New Year

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.

(if im not mistaken, thats a lyric line from an SEMISONIC song, im right, its called: CLOSING TIME)

The beginning of the New Year
The beginning of the New Millennium

Those two are set.

What is undetermined is what shall be new with you.

It is undetermined and unlimited.
