Even though I had told my doctor that I wanted off diabetes meds, my

resolution for 2001 was to continue losing weight and stop taking diabetes

meds. I

have not been on diabetes meds since Feb 2001 and my weight is still at my

goal. Resolutions work for me.

I'm sure those 2 are biggies for lots of people! I had been on the LA Weight

Loss diet for 2 weeks when I was diagnosed and it just happened to be their

diabetic plan. My doctor approved of it.

I quit smoking the 20th of Dec. in honor of my parents wedding anniversary

who are both dead from complications of diabetes. They were married for almost

51 years.

I don't know which is harder - the diet or no cigarettes!

Hi Lynn,

They will both get easier. I have never smoked but hubby did. I did not

even know he was quitting until several weeks later.

Once I started losing weight, it was easy for me. I would weigh once a week

and I was always happy to see those lbs melt away. It was slow but I've not

gained it back either.

You can lose the weight and stop smoking and it will be worth it. If you

feel like you are slipping and need encouragement, let us know. We are here

for you.

Keep taking good care of ME!

Keep looking for a great man to cherish!

Donate more excess items to charity, clean closets and tool shed.

Smile and say Hi to a stranger every day.

Get a good night's sleep.

Don't believe in New Year's Resolutions. You either do it

or you don't. Saying you start doing it after a such and

such date is just a delaying tactic. Those that do, also

have a bag load of excuses why they can skip this time or

next time. Pretty soon it is the next new year and the

whole process can repeat.

I do! And I write them down and plaster them on the fridge, on the

wall in my office, on my dashboard - anywhere I'll see them regularly.

This year:

Business - Do $50,000 in sales from Jan 1st to Dec 14th 2006

Expand my team by 10 members

Earn a place on my parent company's Board of Directors

Personal - Be a better mom to my son...not that I'm a terrible one,

but with everything that's happened this past year, I've realized I

kind of pushed the little guy to the side...always saying Just a

minute, Hang on...you know. I want him to be my very first priority

after my immediate health.

Make more of an effort to keep my marriage going. Here I

am selling romance enhancement products helping others save their

marriages, and my own is going down hard...lol...so I'm reading Dr.

Phil (can't stand that guy) and trying to be a typical housewife

without losing my self. It's a tough balance to find when you're

independent and kind of assume others aren't helpless either. ;o)

Get a new vehicle - I like the new Subaru Foresters, and

also the Nissan Muranos. I have an extended cab F150 that drinks gas

like I drink diet pepsi...lol...gotta get something AWD or 4WD but

that gets better than 12 mpg.

Get better control over my diabetes...right now it's

kicking my @$$. I'm thinking of seeing a new doc - possibly going to

Joslin up in Syracuse. My doc is good, if you're not good at

following orders - he's very much a try it yourself and let me know

how it goes type of guy. I think I need more structure...at least for

now. I need to be told when to eat, what to eat, how much insulin to

take, etc. I'm too scared to try new things myself. I know right now

I should up my insulin, but I'm afraid to cuz the doc didn't suggest

specifics, ya know? Even though he's told me - if you're not getting

down were you should be, and your eating sensibly, up your insulin a

tad. But he doesn't tell me how much to up it. I'm certainly not a

self starter...lol.

Those are some of my goals/resolutions.

Best wishes to all for a happy healthy 2006!
