2019 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

It’s the first of the year so, I’ll throw out another topic that I’ll be wrestling with a bit which is diet and exercise. Exercise later...diet drama now. LOL!
I typically eat a Paleo diet - no sugar, processed foods, grains (breads, pastas, rice, etc), beans. I modify it a bit as I do eat cheese and hummus and will eat a dessert every blue moon if I feel like it without any guilt.
I eat this way because I wanted to eat healthfully but not feel like I was sacrificing anything. And “my Paleo” means I get to eat the things I love - seafood, veggies, fruit, bacon (bacon!!!!), Brie, olives, etc. and stay slim without ever counting calories, weighing food, etc. (I’m not slim by nature or culture so I had to find an easy path.) I don’t like rice or pasta anyway.So, it’s win / win.
But!!!! My name is Sparkle and I’m a sugar-holic. If I “get off” sugar, I never want any. Not sodas, not cookies, nothing. It’s not even tempting. But, if I start eating sugar, the monster comes back and I crave it all day and night.
Well, what did my dumb bunny self do over the holidays? I ate sugar. One of my agencies sent me a huge box of my favorites - Cheryl’s cookies - for Thanksgiving and I tore into them like a ravenous wolf. That led to a slice of cake here, a taste of cobbler there and voila! I’m addicted again. Plus, I gained 6 lbs...all in the wrong places.
So, I’m going cold turkey no sugar.It’s only 1pm here and I’m already ready to track down and hold Willy Wonka hostage at gunpoint if he doesn’t give up some caramels. My family is in witness protection as I rage around the house snarling and threatening anyone who knows where the last of the peach cobbler is and won’t share.
I know this fiending for sugar will go away after about 7 days. And, I’ll actually be happy to be “clean” because I can taste all of my food so much better when I’m not eating sugar. But, ohmigoodness, while I’m in the battle, it’s h-e-double hockey sticks!
Anyone else bravely starting or restarting a healthy approach for the new year?
ugh.
Yes - we’ve even hired a personal trainer. He came to the house today, did measurements and a brief fitness test-thingy (I was able to do more push-ups than Mr Cookie! ) and we start for realsies Thursday. We’re scheduled (and paid) through the middle of March when Spring Break starts for him.
Wish me luck! [emoji38]
I will do the 3 newest purses for 3 days each (I think that’s the one). One of my newest purses is white - so I’m going to be super trendy... [emoji38] But I’m actually looking forward to trying this white purse out - a good learning experience!
I’ll be out of town for the later part of the month and will only have 2 or 3 purses with me - but I have 18 days to participate in at least this challenge!
I love it too! It is one of my favorites. It is lighter weight than Patti, under 2 pounds. Your hippie bag is cute.
Yes, I like Tory Burch flats as well. I have two pairs, one in metallic silver and one in a slightly different style in burgundy patent, and I find that I reach for them often because they are just so easy to walk in.
These are just like my silver ones, except in gold. They advertise this style shoe as being "packable" because the sole is split, so it folds in half, but I've never done that. They weigh next to nothing, so they just go in my suitcase as they are. I wouldn't want to fold the sole of a shoe!!!

Happy New Year to one and all!
It's Coach, but it is not technically vintage. In Coach, at least, we don't consider anything to be vintage until it is at least 20 years old. It's from the 2007 Bleecker collection. I just love Coach from that era.
Wow... that is REAL commitment! And how cool that you did more pushups than Mr. Cookie... way to go! Best of luck to you. Great that the two of you are doing this together, so you can cheer each other on. Makes it easier to stick to the program!
Happy New Year everyone!!
I will probably do the New Year New Bag challenge. I normally have been able to do 10 in 31 in 2018 so it’s not a real challenge. Although in December 2018 I think I only wore 9, but that’s because I travelled.

Great shoes! I like the gold tone - metallics are great neutrals!Yes, I like Tory Burch flats as well. I have two pairs, one in metallic silver and one in a slightly different style in burgundy patent, and I find that I reach for them often because they are just so easy to walk in.
