Our Resolutions 2009

Tanner and I make New Year resolutions . . . I know it's corny but we do and last year we accomplished what we set out to do. We lost our "baby" weight . . . all of it.

In 2009 Tanner resolves to lose 30 more lbs and I resolve to eat less junk food. Does my resolution sound silly to you? You wouldn't think so if you knew that I indulge in chocolate ATLEAST 3 - 4 times a day. On a regular basis I would drink a glass of chocolate milk or Mocha Frappuchino to start my day, have a cup of hot chocolate at my desk while eating a few Hershey's kisses. I eat a regular lunch. Then time for an afternoon snack of chocolate chip cookies or whatever candy bar jumps out at me in the vending machine. Before I leave work I realize I don't keep chocolate in my house so I hit the vending machine again for the drive home. This is EVERY DAY folks.

I have a problem. I think Tanner has an intervention in the works; he's just waiting for me to hit bottom. The only way I think I have been able to keep my weight under control is through running and not eating after 6:30. I am grateful I haven't blown up like Vince Vaughn after the Aniston break-up, but it's time to make a change. I'm excited to see how my body reacts to the change.

Warning: If anyone sees me crouched in a dark corner with wrappers scattered about, just walk away. It means I couldn't do it and I've sold my soul to Godiva.

On second thought, toss me some of your chocolate. It's not good for your New Year's resolution to lose a few pounds.

Enabler.

lol. I can't give up chocolate...but good for you for trying! that's like when Lent comes around. I've never been good at giving something up, and Chocolate would NEVER be an option. I think I would die. But good luck!
