well well, after yesterdays dr's appointment...and well let's be honest, the weigh in...i have decided to make some new year's resolutions, mostly about food! and i am posting it for the world to see in an effort to hold myself that much more responsible.
#1. continue to not eat fast food. i have gone two whole months without eating at any fast food restaurants ( mcdonalds, wendys, taco bell, etc...) and am going to continue not eating at those types of places for the duration of 2011.
#2. NO mac-n-cheese. this has been my downfall the past month. i have always l.o.v.e.d. macaroni and cheese...especially kraft...but there is no nutritional value and it is so SO fattening.
#3. NO potato chips. ever since i have been pregnant i have craved salt way more than usual...and during those first few months when only certain things tasted good i found myself relying on lays potato chips to soothe my nauseous tum tum. and even though everything tastes good to me these days, i still find myself eating potato chips way more than i should be, so i QUIT!
#4. cut back significantly on cheese. i am trying to set realistic, achievable goals, which is why i am not going to totally eliminate cheese from my diet. that being said, i still eat way more cheese than is good for me or my thighs, so i am saying NO to cheese on sandwiches, NO cheese quesadillas, pizza one time a week or less, and when it comes to pasta i am going to try to order dishes/make dishes with less or no cheese. this resolution is going to be the hardest bc cheese has always been my favorite food.
#5. NO candy bars. there is a vending machine at work, and every morning i walk past and the twix calls out to me! and i try to say no, but always end up giving in...then i feel so bad afterwards. so i am just going to give up candy bars altogether. i know i can do it!!
hopefully at my next appointment i will only have gained what i am supposed to.

Great goals you can do it! I was pleasantly surprised to find my baby weight came off fairly easily so stay positive...Finn will be so worth it!
You are ambitious!!! I'm sure you will do all of these goals plus some this year! Will you please rub off some of your motivation on me??? I need some! I don't ever make resolutions around food/treats/snacks, because I can never keep them!!
But if you ask me, potato chips and candy bars never hurt anyone... :)
