We are having the traditional meal  (cooked on the liter side)  Boston Butt,Collards, Blackeye Peas, Mac Pie, Cornbread and Sugar Free Bananna Pudding for dessert.  Everything is made with low fat, no sugar, skim milk, and so forth.    I won't be eating much, just tasting.    Daughter #1 and 2 and families are coming.  This is our last big thing until it gets warm weather.  Started my year  off right.  Got up at 6am and went for my jog on the treadmill.   I hope to do this each day or at least 4 times a week along with my other exercises.  Just reflecting on 2008  It has been one of the best years of my life....What a difference a year has made.
