Will It Matter?

What are my new resolutions? Hmm Thought I should ponder a bit about this one. I seem to ask my patients this questions right around this time of year. And a few times they even seem to ask me. I have been giving this a lot of thought. I want to maintain the weight I currently am. Well no actual need to lose the 5 that I have put on this last couple of months. I am trying to be able to incorporate the things I want to eat (in moderation). Too the things that skinny or fit people eat. Fine line indeed. I know this is my lifelong commitment so I want to eat ice cream when I want too.

Exercising has slowed a bit but I am back on track. Went for a 2 mile run this morning and 30 minutes on the gazelle. Portion control needs to get a second glance from me. Went to the fruit market instead of the grocery store because will buy less junk there because it costs more. More fruits and veggies are the options.

Wrestling for the boys start officially tomorrow and need to have travel friendly foods available. Want to have healthy options because it is good when they are wrestling and people do take notice to what you put in your mouth especially after you lose the weight. In this case keeping up with the Jones is a good thing. It is so much easier if you have prepared all your foods for easy access. Do you have realize how many times you come home starving only to grab some chips or pretzels? If the veggies are all cut up would we grab those? Hmmm I am hoping so. Which leads me into a resolution...Change my kids mind about what they (we) put in our mouths. Went through the cupboard and got rid of the junk from the holidays. Snacks that are left are packaged in snack bags which are in serving sizes. If the kids thought it was bad before the holidays with nothing in the house to eat. Just wait. Don't be surprise if they call you up to come over. But it is time to make more of point. Planning on sitting down with them and working out a schedule for when we can make it to Delta to work out. Want to make it there with kids at least 2x. Now that may not work but it is a plan. Another plan is having them make a menu with me. Sick and tire (isn;t that funny how sick is always followed with tired) them saying that they don't want this or that. I hate trying to plan what we are going to eat. I would be happy with chix and salad everyday. But that only goes over once a week soo. Need some help there. Feeling good about some of my resolutions for 09. Hmm and I didn't think I had made any.
