New Year Resolution

Change my life around with the New Year Oh, the annoyance and suffering I will endure For a few pounds less and a healthier me Enjoying my sweets, I have to part Fruit just as wonderful, and wholesome Love my butter and my salt But start with plain spinach and spuds My heart will be so much healthier If I change my life around with the New Year The annoyance and suffering I will endure will be worth it Let’s see how long my New Year resolution will last Any last minute bets Contest: New Year’s Resolution Sponsored by: Regina Riddle

I've tried to eat my meals before 4 in the evening and cut down a little on my sugar intake, but I do stay up until midnight, that has helped. Good luck

Jan, wise words, but at my age I need to watch what I eat. I hate doing it because I love to eat the wrong things. Blessings and Merry Christmas
