New Year

And with a new year comes the usual list of things to do, things to stop doing, things to better oneself. My goals for this year are to remain optimistic, get healthier (and yes, lose weight). So far the tips I have received are to run, eat more small meals, and drink green tea. Running has become difficult because it's raining. Mother Nature is sabotaging my efforts. Hey, it was worth a shot. I also found a diet that seems to be workable, which is the Biggest Loser Diet. It incorporates more fruits and vegetables, which is also a weakness. It worked out well that the first few days of the new year we were sick. Homemade chicken soup... Lean meat, and vegetables. So far the green tea has been the easiest to stick to. We'll see what happens.
