Trying to get Healthy

We made it through the holidays. While my husband and I enjoyed a certain amount of gluttony, the Babe continued with her typical toddler eating ways. While we want to fatten her up, we need to slim down. Her diet keeps her weight just right (although a little chubbier would be great), but frequent potato chips, hummus (more than one serving at a time for the adults), baked goods, frozen french fries, and full-fat hot dogs, were not meant for regular adult consumption.

Its a new year, but that does not mean resolutions. Resolutions are meant to be made and then broken within weeks, if not days. No, its time for getting healthier. Its a matter of timing- birthday celebrations, holidays, and travel are now done with, so no more excuses to over-indulge. Day two of my keeping track and portion controlling is going well, although not sure how long it will last. I have not eaten off her plate or finished her left-overs. That alone is an accomplishment- I just hate to waste it since our grocery bills are just so high. Our other goal is to start moving more. It doesn't take much since I know I don't move around enough. We've played the Wii a few times already this week, so that's a start. Tomorrow's goal is to get to the gym. Small steps might eventually get us somewhere.
