Happy New Year!!!

I don’t know about other people, but for me, anything that resembles health and well being has been all but chucked out the window since about a week before Christmas, when the goodies started to show up at work. I’ve been on a self-destructive path in terms of eating badly - I keep thinking, what good could I possibly do between Day X and the next big holiday event?

And then I had another idea… Maybe if I exercise absolutely no self-control, I’ll be SO SICK of eating junk that I will wake up January 1 with an iron will and serious celery cravings.

I think there’s something to that theory. Right now I actually feel lousy, despite taking a prevacid and drinking a lot of water. (Hmm - could it be the McDonald’s dinner tonight?) I know we’re going out for a great steak dinner for New Year’s Eve, and then I have every intention of sticking to veggies, lean meats, eggs, cous-cous and the occasional helping of whole wheat pasta.

I also plan to use the treadmill we bought 2 years ago. When I discovered I was pregnant with Brett, I had every intention of exercising throughout my pregnancy. I think I may have gotten on it once, (sorry, I let that pesky morning sickness beat my intent) and maybe once since he was born. I am going to commit to getting on that thing at least 3 times a week, and I am going to use my ab-roller also.

I am not going to be so rash as to vow to give up caffeine or soda, but I think I can safely say that I’d like to at least cut back on coffee and Diet Coke and drink more water.

These are my resoutions… I will post back on occasion regarding my progress, or lack thereof. *HOPEFULLY success reports more often than failure!
