New Years Resolutions

So this year, Chris and I have decided to go on a diet as our new years resolution! I know...we'll see how long this lasts! Dieting is so very hard to stick with. However, we are giving ourselves "cheat" days in hopes that will help us stick to our "diet" days.

Today is the first day. I'm doing pretty good. I'm drinking my water. Ugh...I hate drinking so much water. It makes me have to go the bathroom so much more! BUT, I know my body needs it... AND, it helps in keeping me feeling full! BONUS!

So, my menus might not be the most exciting...but, I'm hoping to try out some new and healthy recipes. However, we still have three girls that are gonna want "normal" meals like pizza, spaghetti and corn dogs....we'll just have to make sure we have healthy options to go along with them and of course, we definitely feel a lot has to do with portion size!

Root for us! Pray for us! Hopefully we can stick to it and maybe become healthier and thinner in the end!!!
