'It's a New Day'.....'Muffin Top' & All!

“It’s a new day” the song composed and sung by Will.iam for the inauguration of Obama the 44^th President of America. It struck a chord – A New Year, A New Day - everyday IS a new day and yet don’t most of us take our life for granted?

Incidentally it reminds me of an elderly aunt whom I spoke to recently. I wised her A Happy New Year & A Happy Birthday (her birthday falls on the 1^st of Jan too). She retorted that everyday is a New Year and everyday is Happy BIRTHday in all it’s sense! She continued to say what would A New Year, A Birthday or every single day be if one was ill or bedridden on these occasions! What a wise outlook – I appreciated her sharing as it came as an eye-opener.

My mind is racing with lots to talk about as there’s so much for me to thank God for…but health must top the list. For it’s only when we are healthy can we look forward to living life to the fullest. Don't you agree?

The good news is that my hubby and I have begun our morning walks after a year’s layoff! …..Yup! A year’s layoff! Well I must be honest and say that I was not discipline enough. I shall not blame, make excuses or justify! I’m enjoying the fresh air now and knowing that I am doing something positive about my overindulgence over the Christmas season. Opps! Did I tell you that I have developed a “Muffin Top” (literally)? He! He! View picture.

I was truly motivated by an article of a prominent figure, Datuk Anna Lim (twice crowned beauty queen) here in Malaysia. She has the passion to take good care of herself both physically and mentally. She believes that effort and love of oneself produces positive results. Besides being fit and fabulous it also boosts ones self confidence.

New Years Resolutions are made each year. Some may have achieved theirs while others may have forgotten what resolutions they made. There are some who don’t bother making any. If you are guilty (like me) just forgive yourself and move on! Make a CHANGE! Out with the negative and in with the positive!

Well I have decided to take the advice of the experts on achieving resolutions - will update you with the 10 steps recommended in my next post. In the meantime enjoy your life and have a lovely weekend with your loved ones and frineds. Happy Chinese New Year to all of you out there!

Cheers !!

Muffin Top (or Muffin Top Girl) is a slang term for someone who wears both tight fitting low-rise jeans (or pants) and midriff-baring tops.

For people not sufficiently slim, the resulting spillage of flesh at the midriff is often said to resemble a muffin top.
