I cannot brag about how I was so good or this-and-that. In all honesty, I ate fried food at the beach (crawfish tails, french fries) even a stupid McDondal's hamburger (not much else to eat off the instate at Evergreen, AL), but the other times I did try to be smart: steamed seafood, salads, even went walking around the resort (actually, chasing Chip and T as they bicycled around the resort (I don't ride bicycles, long story...)).
I did start taking B-6 and B-12 vitamins to help with energy and metabolism. I used to do B-12 and B-6 injections when I was on a weight loss plan a few years ago. I seemed to lose weight and stay energized better while taking the injections, but they got rather costly. Luckily (the saver in me) found the vitamins B1G1 at CVS with (2) $2.00 off coupons, so I got both vitamins for $4.00 and change. Not bad to kick start the new year.
For some reason, as a teacher I don't look at January as the new year, even though it really it the new year. I see August as a "new" year due to school starting. My "new" year's resolution for this school year is to declutter my life (in addition to decluttering the fat off my body!). The "new" year beings in 8 days...
Mantra for this year...
(I always seem to adopt a mantra that lasts about two days, maybe this one will last longer!)
If I don't need it (includes food), give it or throw it away.
Pretty simple, eh? See if I stick to my mantra. :)
