Happy New Year

Wishing all of you a safe and Happy New Year! Have fun tonight and don't stress over making tons of resolutions. Make one and concentrate on that one rather than making many and setting yourself up to fail. Happy New Year! See you 2012

How are you doing with your Resolutions?

The holidays are over and hopefully things are settling back into a normal routine.

Did you make any resolutions for the New Year? Are you waiting for the Chinese New Year to do so?

If you did set some goals for 2011, are you sticking with it?

There is always a lot of fuss about this subject in December and early January and then it seems that the ball is dropped and people just let it go. We all have good intentions and that should be what counts BUT if you feel as though you have failed when you don't keep your resolutions or meet your goals then you have completely defeated the entire purpose.

Change does not have to be difficult. Sometimes slow and steady is better than all out.

Have your resolutions fallen by the wayside?

We didn't put any time frames on the changes we plan to make this year. Just day by day doing the best we can. Our main goal is our diet so we are using up the things that we want to eliminate (because we just can't waste) and hope to have our new "diet" phased in completely by March 1st.

We won't be following any one plan entirely but a collection of things based on our tastes and of course not making the shopping too difficult when we are unable to get to the mainland. The overview is this.

High quality protein
No starch - pasta - potatoes
No high sugar content vegetables
Phasing out coffee altogether

We plan to follow a strict pattern for a month and see how we feel. Eventually we will slowly add somethings back in to see if we notice any difference.

Not really a resolution... more like a science experiment!

Happy New Year

Well, all the hustle and bustle of the holiday's are over and hopefully everyone survived the chaos. We are lucky in that we can keep things very simple and so there isn't much in the way of stress during this time of the year.

If you have chosen to make any New Year's Resolutions I wish you all the best in keeping them!

Happy New Year!

How are those resolutions going?

I have to admit that I really don't agree with the whole resolution idea. I do believe that setting goals is very important but not to the point where you stress over each and every one. Write things down and be realistic. Take baby steps to get started and see how it goes. Starting out slowly and achieving your goals will make it easier to strive for more.

Good Luck
