Baby, It’s COLD Outside & NY RESOLUTIONS!

I know, not the most original title but I live in Southern California when it hits the 60s I start wearing ski jackets. (Besides, when else are all those SoCal airheads supposed to wear their designer Ugg boots?)

Anyway, I’ve been working out! At the gym! While listening to instructional CDs about probate Real Estate. Can I just say as much as we make fun of Hollywood I’d kill to have an actor with personality doing these CDs? It’s EXCRUCIATING!

But I’m still doing it because I need to listen to this stuff, and I need to shrink the size of my butt. So there we are.

Let me also add how impressed I am with HZ. The fact that she made that thing her bitch impresses the hell out of me. I carry almost all my weight in my torso and can’t even imagine the crazy back pain that thing must produce. I’m just going to use my wussie situp bench thingy. YAAAAY back support!

*******************Attention Serious Moment********************

I’ve also decided this year I’m going to make New Year’s Resolutions. I’ve never done it before with any serious intention so I think this year is the year to do it. I’m turning 30! If that’s not a momentous year *snort* I don’t know what is. But I’m not going to make my new year’s resolution *lose 80 pounds* or whatever because we know those very rarely work. I’m going to do an end run to skinny instead and track it here.

So far I have:

1) Write down all food every day- I really suck as a food diarist even though every time I do this I tend to lose weight. Why do I suck at it? Because I’m lazy and it’s a pain. Time to cowboy up and deal with it though, right?

2) Work out (in some fashion) 5 days a week- I’ve been pretty good about doing this thanks to the FCR blog so I vow to keep going.

I want to add to the list. Any other advice for what I should add?

Do you do NY Resolutions and have you been successful?

Any cautionary tales? I want to hear about them!
