Happy New Year!
Can you believe that it is now 2012 ? Wow. And very soon I will be five years old! Yep! On January 20th, and then a couple of days later on January 22nd, our little Smudge will be ONE. 2011 has flown by and lots of changes have taken place, but most of them were for the good. I think that the year 2012 will be WONDERFUL, however.
I am not making New Year Resolutions. Mom says when we do that we just set ourselves up for immediate (or almost) disappointment. It is better to just do something good, or something that you have been wanting to do, but not make a big deal about it ahead of time. That makes sense to me.
We thought it would be good to start the New Year off with a quote
"People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas." Author unknown, as quoted by The Huffington Post.
So Mom is starting off 2012 by having a cookie for breakfast. A big cookie. Mom says it probably has a lot of the food groups in it, so we shouldn't worry. HA.
Actually, losing weight is one of the top resolutions that 2-legs make and then break. That is pretty interesting. And in case you do want to make that resolution here is a hint on how to keep it. You must have a PLAN.
The National Institutes of Health suggests one key to losing weight is to develop a healthy eating plan. This plan should emphasize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk and dairy products; include lean meats, poultry fish, bean, eggs and nuts; and be low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt and added sugar.
Oh well. I think Mom will be back on her bowl of oatmeal for breakfast every day, starting tomorrow. After all, it seems to me that so long as you don't eat cookies every single day (for breakfast), that having one on the first day of the new year is going to be OK. Besides, it had powdered sugar on it, which of course falls to the floor, so I was able to have my fair share.
So Happy New Year to everyone and my wish for 2012 is that I will meet a lot of new friends and that I do not have to have my toenails trimmed too often. That should just about cover all the bases, don't you think?
Love and Licks,
Bob
