Looking at New Goals for a New Year

Well I am trying to create a few new goals in my life. I have quit working at weight watchers for the love just wasn't there anymore. Too many were not seeing the value in themselves and it was always in the scale. Believe me, I was there too. But we need to go beyond. Weight is a number and we are more than that. It is too hard to achieve that all so perfect number and not stray away from that. Oh don't get me wrong, I am not giving up. It will be a lifelong journey for me. I know that. But realizing that this is my life and if I want that cookie it is ok. Just can't eat the whole box. Then I need to go and do something about the cookie. Moderation is key people. Calories in is calories out.
Reading a great book. So many of the 'so call foods' out there are making us FAT! I knew for a long time that the diet in the pop could not be good. It is man made. It is not natural. I have made a decision for my house. I will continue to read labels. I will do it more. I have always choose fresh and I am determined even more to do so.
In reading this book, I have realize- to do all that is suggested would take a lot of time, energy and money. So I am trying to eliminate a little by little. I have plans to cut what I buy at the local chain food store. I have decided I will have to stop a couple times a weeks at the local produce store. Buy the veggies that are half way to the trash can be used in the next couple of days for our dinner. I don't have to buy the half ripe anything because it won't be sitting in the crisper drawer for a week or two only to be thrown out.
I am excited about my thoughts on nutrition. Not to mention I have a lot to talk to you about when it comes to my physical new out look and my spiritually ones. But that is another day. Just to let you know I am here. I am not going away or even fading away.

Sounds like an interesting plan... not to throw away all the well intended fruit purchased on the 1 day a week, eat what you are going to in the next days and buy more ripe... I like that idea.
