On New Years Eve, we went to Delmonico's for dinner, an early 4pm dinner. It was perfect! The dinner was awesome as well. I mean come on, it was Delmonico's! The steak was the size you might use for a family pot roast so I only ate 1/4 of it. Had a lovely glass of Riesling and skipped desert.
Then we came home, fed the girls and then headed off to the bowling alley. The local Bowl-a-roll does a New Years eve thing where you have a 2 hour span, you get a lane, shoes and unlimited bowling for the 2 hours. You can also bring your own food. So we went bowling!
Now let me back up a little.......the day before me and my sis went to Bowlers World and had our current old bowling balls looked at and re-measured to our now older (fatter) fingers. hahah After they redrilled them, they had a little bitty 3 foot bowling alley in the back that you leaned over and bowled with it to test the fit. Pretty neat.
So long story short we had a blast. I only was able to bowl 2 games. Between my left knee pain, and my foot pain, it got worse and worse. I was in an awful mess. Shot about 4 good shots and that was it. The rest of the game was just ....well disappointing.
Its funny, people are saying how good they were at bowling, or they used to bowl well, or whatever, and I bit my tongue and did not say I used to bowl so good I was on TV. Yup. TV. I want that body back!!!!! My body was completely against me. Older, heavier, swollen, painful and broken. Again these are things to change.
I was in so much pain on the first day of the year that I did very little. I could hardly walk. I may not be able to bowl much right away, but by the end of this year, I hope to do it a lot! I think a fall bowling league position will be my goal!
I also did not journal on the first day of 2016. I used that day to just relax my body, but also to relax my mind. I fixed breakfast/brunch for us and then we watched two movies. The first made me feel like a terrible mom and the second was minions. hahahah
Today's journal is this. I plan to make little journals for a bunch of my friends and mail them off. I made an elaborate one for my friend in California, and that made me think that a smaller version of it would be lovely for a lot of other special people. So that is my activity for this weekend.
I hope your new thoughts for 2016 are coming together for you!
With encouragement,

p.s. Jan 1st was a no bra pajama day as well. I think I have a new tradition.
