Totally positive here on the brink of a new year.
I just think this New Year New Me thing is stupid.
Every day is a new day.
Every day is a chance to be a new you.
There's no reason you should have to wait for the 1st of January to start doing something with your life.
That's why I don't make New Years resolutions.
If you really want to disappoint yourself. Go ahead make a resolution.
You wanna lose weight?
Well you haven't started yet, why is that?
Oh there were just so many good things to eat September through December.
Well I'm not disagreeing.
September is the start of pumpkin season.
My favorite season.
Pumpkin Pie. Pumpkin Cheese Cake. Pumpkin tarts (small pies so we feel better about eating 5 of them) Pumpkin scones. Pumpkin Muffins and of course PSL! Pumpkin Spice Lattes!!
Yes it's hard to ignore such a delicious treat that only seems to come once a year.
And then October well.
If you're Canadian! Thanksgiving!
And on sale Halloween Candy.
And then November hits!
EGG NOG delicious beverage that only comes once a year!
If you're American. Thanksgiving! (Imagine if you're an american in Canada. You get two thanksgivings!)
And then December
Christmas Hanukkah Chrismukkah for those OC die hards!!
Yeah there's a lot of food in there but you can still have it all in portions and continue to work out of whatever active people do.
New Years?! Well yes that's a lot of alcohol to embibe! But as long as it's not an every day every week kind of life. A little alcohol here and there won't hurt you.
So basically fall through winter you've gone into hibernation cause you've decided not to fight the food battle.
So you resolute.
New Year New You
New Year New You
but how long will that last?
Until next fall maybe if you're lucky!
You wanna lose weight start when you think "hmmm I should lose weight."
You wanna go on a trip to a warm place but are short on cash?
Get a savings account connected to when your paycheques come in so you don't even have to think about putting the money aside it does it for you.
So I guess what I'm saying is stop procrastinating.
You want a New You?
Go out and make it happen!
Without the pressure of the New Years Resolution guilt constantly around your neck
