New Years Resolutions

It is the start of a new year, and time to make some resolutions.

1.  Lose 20 pounds by April.  I was blog surfing and found a link (on Sisters' Stuff) that tells you how many calories you need to eat each day to lose weight.  It is a simple formula--burn more calories than you eat.  I want to be able to fit back into my size 6 jeans!  This also means I need to cut out more sweets....

My Fitness Pal is a great site to help keep track of what you eat and how much you exercise. It is free to sign up.

2.  Only push the snooze button once!  I am so bad.  I will push the snooze 2 or 3 times.  I hate waking up early in the morning like that.

3.  Make dinner at least 4 out of 7 days a week.  If I want to lose some weight, I need to stop eating out so much. Since I want to lose weight, I need to make healthier decisions when eating out...

4.  To go along with Resolution #3, I want to try a couple of new recipes each week.  That is the only way cooking is not going to get monotonous.
