New Year's Resolutions

On the weight front, I've gotta lose some. I think I've mentioned before that I don't have a trustworthy scale, so I'm not going to go by that kind of number this time around. Later today I'll measure my waist, hips, and thighs (maybe more?) and post those as my starting point.

What will I be doing to lose some weight these days? Hubby and I are going to do the 30 Day Shred (but not quite yet... borrowing it from the library!). I'm going to cut out my use of grenadine (at work, I use a LOT of it!). I also intend to cut out fried foods and most breads. I've been eating a lot of burgers and sandwiches at work lately, and I need to stop that. When I got this job, most of the menu was really pretty unappetizing to me- I need to get back into that mentality and simply eat much healthier than I've been eating lately.



Americans enjoy one of the most luxurious lifestyles on Earth: Our food is plentiful. Our work is automated. Our leisure is effortless. And it's killing us.



Isn't a healthy weight something that we should all strive for?

I've purchased a new water bottle. This is a bottle that I've had my eye on for a long time, but I'm a cheapstake and have never wanted to spend the money on myself. I love the new bottle and I think that it will help me to drink more water.

So, in a nutshell:
-Drink more water
-No more grenadine
-No more fried foods
-Drastically reduce carb consumption

I need something to keep me on track, so I'll have to post.
