    In 9 months, Don and I will celebrate our 10th aniversary. I can’t believe it….where did all of that time go? I’m so excited to celebrate this miletsone – I have the best husand ever. He is such a wonderful friend and an amazing father to Reagan and Rylee. We are planning to take a trip somewhere to celebrate. (any suggestions? It can’t cost a fortune cause we definitely don’t have one)

    So anyway, I have a goal – I want to get back to my pre-Reagan weight before October rolls around. That means I have to lose about 25 pounds. ugghhhh… Here are some things that I am doing to try and get my you-know-what back in shape:

    • No Sweet Tea or Coffee (this is huge for me, I’m an addict – but I haven’t had any since Christmas!)
    • Water, Water, Water!
    • Avoid sugar during the week (after the Daniel Fast is over, I plan to allow sugar in moderation on the weekends)
    • No fried foods – at all
    • Add lots of fresh veggies and salad
    • I put milled flax seed in everything – it’s so good for you – and it’s easy to incorporate into your diet since you really can’t taste it in other foods)
    • No red meat – we are eating chicken, turkey and fish only except for special occasions
    • Whole wheat products only
    • Starting to add workouts into my routine – this has been difficult during the week with the babies but I’m trying! The Biggest Loser Small Group at church is helping with this one – it’s pretty much kicking my butt.

    So – it’s not really a resolution, because I suck at those – but it is a goal that I feel is necessary and attainable. So, what about you? Do you have any health goals and what have you done to try and meet them?
