Time to change some behaviors...

I am not a fan of New Year's Resolutions - I rarely keep them, but I do know that it is time to change some of my behavior and get this tool working again!  My doctor's office offers time with a nutritionist and trainer, so I met with her earlier in the week and got a good, core-based workout.  Lucia came with me, and she showed her how to do the exercises too so we could do them together, which I am excited about!  Lu even said she'd get up at 5AM with me to do them (I won't do that to her)...  With that, and getting back to more concious choices of what I am eating, I am hoping to kick-start the weight loss.  For example, I stop every morning at WaWa and get coffee... but for the last month, I've gotten a large English Toffee cappucino instead.  Um, hello - difference of about 300 calories?!?!?!?  Easy change right there...

This morning I was at 218.2, which given the amount of food and drink that has been around my house, isn't too bad at all.  I am quite content with that.  However, I would really like to be able to get back into the large tub of pants I have from pre-pregnancy that are far more cute and fashionable (I think) than the plain black trousers I am wearing now... so that is motivation as well!

On the non-band side, I decided to start a family blog (http://foglerfamilyfour.blogspot.com) because with Liam joining us, I figured that would be a good, and easier way combined with Facebook to keep our friends and family updated.  We'll see how that goes!

Happy New Year to all... I'm already thinking about BOOBS 3.0 in Chicago in September, and have penciled it into my new calendar... Hoorray!

Biggest Loser did an episode where they talked about the added calories of creamers....I forget the numbers but it was a big annual total...maybe 1% milk?

That is a great start with changing the morning coffee routine :o)

I haven't had one of those delish toffee coffees in a long time and after reading about the 300 cals - not way ... thanks for sharing and I'm envious of your doc's services (the trainer).
