Positively Positive

I am extremely happy with the way 2010 is starting out. 

I was damn near skipping down the aisles at the grocery store the other night because I was in that good of a mood.  I kid you not.  My diet is quickly turning into less of a diet and more of a lifestyle change that I can live with long term.  I was happy to be able to walk by certain sections of the grocery store and barely miss some of the bad stuff I used to eat.  I no longer get upset about not going out to dinner on a Friday or Saturday night.  And when I do go out, there are plenty of place and entrees that I can enjoy without feeling guilty.

I was happy and thankful that I didn't have to do all the meal planning and shopping alone.  I had one of my favorite people in the world right there next to me.

This past Saturday afternoon I got a call from my parents who wanted to come up for an short impromptu visit.  My boyfriend and I were able to get the house up to parent standards in no time (one of my "initiatives" for 2010 was to keep my house in a clean/decluttered state where people could just pop over and I wouldn't be embarrassed).

I've been doing the things I enjoy (another 2010 "initiative") -- watching movies, reading, hanging out with friends and family.  I have really been enjoying the Netflix and new tv.

Even the weather has been cooperating with me, at least this last week or so.  The temps have been in mid to upper thirties, there's been some sun, and almost all the snow has melted.

It's been less than three weeks, but we're certainly off to a great start.  :)
