Maybe it’s just a hormonal thing, or maybe I’m just in denial. But I put a pair of pants on this morning that are normally loose on me, and they are not loose any more.

I didn’t think I was doing too bad on my holiday eating this year. My mom didn’t cook a holiday dinner, so I didn’t have to worry about all of the tempting dishes she always makes. But I fixed two ham dinners in as many weeks, and we ate dinner on Christmas day with my mother-in-law. Then last night I made lots of baked goodies to take to my mom and siblings. But they didn’t all make it up there.

So I guess my New Year’s resolutions will have a lot to do with working out and diet pills. Oh boy.
