Hello! I am 33 yrs old, happily married and ready to look and feel awesome again. Over the past 10 years, I have tried almost every diet under the sun, this has allowed me to learn a lot about what works, what doesn't, and why. Knowing is only half the battle though!

Over the past year I have lost a little weight, then quit tracking my calorie intake and gained 1 or 2 lbs back. In January of 2010 I made a vow to God to quit smoking and drinking for a year. I kept this vow! In June of 2010 I added two more vows to not drink soda or eat sweets for 6 months. I kept this vow too! As of January 1st 2011 my vows have been upheld and I am ready for my next resolutions. SO here are my vows for 2011:

#1 - I will not smoke a cigarette for 1 more year!

#2 - I will be moderate in my intake of sweets, soda, and alcohol. Moderate by my definition is no more than any ONE of these three things a week. If I have soda one time in a week, I will not have sweets or alcohol, or if I have alcohol one time in a week, I will not have sweets or soda, etc. This will keep me on track for the year.

#3 - No matter how difficult it may be, I will record all the food that I eat every day of the year, as of today 1/7/2011.

#4 - I will exercise at least three days a week for at least 30 minutes a day for an entire year. (As of today 1/7/2011)

Those are my vows. I intend to stick to them fervently!
