New Year, New Me

I think that's what most people try to do every January at the changing of the year. We pledge to change our lifestyle to be a better, thinner, smarter version of ourselves all because the calendar changes to a new year. Of course, since we said we'd wait until January 1st, we cram in all the bad food, drinking, and self-destructive things we didn't get done throughout the year into those last glorious days before the clock strikes midnight.It's like making a yearly “to-do” list, forgetting it, then finding it the day after Christmas so we scramble to finish off all that we can. Donut eating contests, bungee jumping, and learning how to twerk are left on the list to finish, and you are not a quitter so you go for it! Trying to squeeze all three in on December 31st at the office staff party is usually a bad idea because eating five chocolate-filled double-decker cakes before twerking your way to the bungee jump can make quite a mess if you get sick—especially with a bottle of sparkling wine as a chaser for the cake.
