My thoughts at the beginning of this year have been to my health - a.k.a. weight. I wouldn't say that I am overly obese, but I could stand to lose a few inches. For starters, I am going to focus on what I am eating. Not counting calories, not the eat a breakfast bar and drink a shake, not even cut out all sugary foods. That last one would be a downfall. I long ago decided that I would never again deprive myself of sweets, especially chocolate. Instead I am going to focus on what I am not eating. Mostly fruits and vegetables, and hopefully replacing some of the extra things I don't need as much of.
I believe you can inherit certain traits and I inherited a strong sweet tooth - at least third generation. I have a bit of chocolate every day. I also am going to have an extra serving of fruits or vegetables at the table instead of the extra piece of meat or bread. We'll see how it goes. Spring will bring on the exercise ... at least the exercise that doesn't involve a shovel.

I hear ya with the shovel. If we didn't have snow, though, I wouldn't be getting any excercise (besides carrying 2 kids up and down the stairs). I'm hoping the weather will warm up soon so I can start walking.
