1. What did you do in 2009 that you’d never done before?
I wore the same 2 identical brown dresses for 30 days in a row. Yay me!
2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Well, my 2009 New Year's Resolution was NOT TO DIET, but rather to eat like a mature individual and let my weight natually drift downward and find its own level. HA! Ha! Ha ha ha! I failed. On so many levels. I tried the "No S Diet" and gained weight, I went to OA and did not lose and the month after I quit, I gained ten pounds. I tracked my food, off and on, via www.sparkpeople.com and never did lose, but at least while I was tracking I didn't gain weight either.
Grand total this year: 30 pounds gained! How's that for letting my weight drift downward by mature choices? FAIL!!!!!
