The New Year!

I didn't make a resolution to be a better blogger.... I knew it wouldn't happen!

But I did make a resolution to exercise for 45 min a day 6 days a week. Its the 27th and so far so good, minus 2.
I also gave up sweets... I LOVE sugar. Me and Buddy the Elf are 2 peas, 1 pod. But I did it... kind of. Maybe I didn't eliminate it but I have totally cut back! Like to the point of covering my mouth and nose in the presence of doughnuts (that was a rough day)!

I am in it for 12 weeks. We will see. So far its slow and painful. After 12 weeks I get to quit and sit on the couch like a bum everyday after work! Sounds exciting but I am sure it will work cause i've already lost 5 lbs so that day will never come!

Since I gave up all things I love I have improvised with a few things that help the cravings. I eat fat free strawberry cream cheese with graham crackers and carrots with peanut butter. It has really gotten me through some tough days!

P.s. I tried to post pictures it won't let me!

You're going to do great. Giving up sweets is a VERY hard thing to do...you've done lots of hard things...you can do this! Good luck AND congratulations on loosing 5 lbs so far!

You have way too much will-power for your own good! However, I am also super jealous of it, can you please share some? (Like yesterday there was left over cake from Jake's birthday party on Sunday and don't you worry I didn't just have one piece, oh no, try 3! Bad.) I am going to try and be more like you. You're amazing!

It's ok, my resolution was to save more money this year. Funny how a week ago, I took money OUT of my savings account. Good work on the working out though!
