I have two goals for the next month:

1. No fried foods
2. No gossiping

First off, we're heading to Florida at the end of April, and I need to start getting a handle on my weight so Greg doesn't see me in a bathing suit and divorce me. It wasn't so long ago that I was a svelt young bride, and in the short six months we've been married I've already managed to let myself go. Which reminds me, we missed our six month anniversary. Although that's probably for the best, because we most likely would have gone out to dinner where I would have eaten something fried.

Secondly, I tend to do a lot of complaining about my assistant at work, not because of the job she does, but because her lifestyle is so different from mine and I tend to have a bit of a superiority complex. She finally called me on it, and although it was an unpleasant conversation, it provided the shake up that I needed to make a change. I tend to be very negative, because it's easier to complain than to focus on positives. In the end though, I just wind up creating an acidic situation which isn't good for anyone. So for the next month, I'm going to try very hard not to complain unnecessarily about the people around me. This article provides further proof that this is an epidemic that must stop.
