Okay before we all get drunk tomorrow night, let us all post our New Years Resolutions here thus we can check back in the stupor of 1/1/07 and see which one we have already broke


It depends on what your resolutions are.

For example, if one of them is to lose weight, you would report how much you've lost that week.
Exercise - if you've met your goal of how many days, how much time exercising you've done.
Following a budget - How well you followed it that week.
Depositing money into a savings account and not touching it - since most of us get paid every two weeks/twice a month, it would probably make more sense to report this every payday.
Fins - not making faces (probably needs to report that every day!) (lol).

Glad I walked the dogs when I did, it started pouring outside!

Back to resolutions - what is everyone that wants to lose weight doing? Any certain diet plan or exercise regimen?

I plan to cut way back on sugar, starch and sweets, including cappuccino, and caffeine. I will be drinking tons of water every day (some days it just kills me to do that), walking around the inside of the building at lunch, outside if the weather is nice, and using a kickboxing video I have here at home. And walking the dogs. Oh, and a salad at lunch every day.

That's a very good point, Steelers, about the pop. I don't drink much myself - in fact, if I open a 20-oz bottle that most people can guzzle with a burger, it takes me 2 days to drink it. No kidding - 2 days. I sip it, put it back in the fridge, sip it a little later...I'm just not a big pop drinker, which is a good thing. Coffee on the other hand.... :roll:

I really don't drink alot of pop either, but it's the coffee that I need. I have to have Tim Horton's coffee everyday. Last time I was there, which was yesterday, I bought a can of their coffee to bring home so I won't have to make trips there everyday.

I'm not really a hot tea drinker, but I do like iced tea :lol:

Green tea also helps you to have a natural boost when your sugar levels run low. I'm cutting out red meats and going with vegetarian-based meat. Keeping chicken and fish. Cutting out saturated fats altogether. Using up the last of my Herbalife products to get started, switching to salads for lunch. No breads. No pop again. Adding omega three capsules along with my vitamins. Omega three's attack the fat chain from the opposite end and you lose weight and inches faster. If you try it, fish oil is better if you can stand the fish taste afterwards or try flax oil.

Deb--

I know fish is good for you, but did you know that it contains mercury. Believe me, I know, I work for GE making light bulbs and all the employees have to have mercury tests every so often b/c of the mercury in the light bulbs. Long story short, I was almost pulled from my job and put in another dept b/c my mercury level was high. Come to find out, it was from eating alot of fish.

Steelers, This one place I used to work at, our supervisor had us stop working every hour (computer work) and do stretching exercises - not much exercise but it was better than nothing.

Deb, I can't stand fish, but I like the idea of flax oil. Also, I would make dishes that usually call for meat but just not put the meat in. I've done this with "beef" stew, chili, and lasagna. If you substitute the regular cheese with non-fat, these are very low-fat meals. My son also came up with making bean burritoes, using the fat-free refried beans, salsa, lettuce, fat-free cheese and fat-free sour cream (which is also great on baked potatoes along with a little bit of fat-free margarine).
