Day 1 OR Day 365?

I can't decide whether to count down or count up. For some reason counting down seems better to start, but I think it's going to have to be counting up. So I guess this IS day 1.

Yesterday I meant to post an addendum to my Friday post. After 'R' discovered I couldn't use gifts for a year, he went ahead and gave me my Christmas present. That way it was technically before I started and I could wear it now. For my birthday this year, 'R' gave me a beautiful necklace and earring set of Murano glass, that I just love. He was saving the bracelet for Christmas but I forced his hand. Now I have a bracelet to match the earrings and necklace. And of course I love it. See picture below. He isn't as thrilled with the 'no presents' aspect of this project as I am, but I would rather stop cold turkey, thus the name of the blog...
