...and what a year it was...

...it was the best of times, it was the worst of times...thank you Charles Dickens for that great oxymoronic phrase. The best because the holidays rocked it...being with my family energized me and though it was a scaled back Christmas, it was the best because we were all together. This year also brought me great success at work, incorporating a healthy lifestyle again-working out, eating good...but it was oh, so bad due to the economic crisis my hubby has imposed on us. And I know I need to get over it. I really do. I guess I'm stuck because I feel I need to forgive him, but I realize that he doesn't feel he's done anything wrong. And it mirrors just how vastly different we are...how our value systems are so polar opposite...how much we've grown apart. But the holidays also reinforced our need to unify and stay the course. So, I'm the one with the issue....and 2009 will see me move past it...my personal goals are:
1. Stay on or under budget for food/gas-any extra money will go to long term saving
2. Not bring up choices made in 2008
3. Work out 3-5 times a week
4. Stay away from Diet coke (gasp)
5. Resolve to love my husband unconditionally
So here is to 2009...a clean slate...a fresh start...
