[...] Workout Mommy has made some very specific goals, and she knows exactly what to do so she’ll be faced with them all the time. Even better is that I’m documenting my goals on a big piece of poster board that I will hang in my dining room. (there is nothing else in there, so why not?!) This way I cannot claim “oh, I forget what I resolved to do….” because that list is going to look me in the eyes every morning! It is going to keep me honest. [...]

I also love your apple idea. I’m a cookie, cake, candy bar, chocolate lover. Mostly, I just don’t keep that stuff in the house, then it’s not around to tempt me. But eating an apple when I do want a treat is a great idea. And there are so many good apples: Braeburn, Fuji, Pink Lady, Honey Crisp, Gala… YUM!

I like the manageable goals rather than the resolutions. One year is too long to hold myself accountable. I shooting for 5 pounds at a time. 5 pounds by my birthday, Feb. 3.

I especially like #3, the one about eating an apple instead of something sweet. My worst snacking time is in the evening, and I hate that. I went to the grocery store this afternoon and picked up apples and bananas — I want to be your partner on this one! Hopefully it works!

We have some of the same thoughts….
1) I am gonna have to lose 10-15lbs to get into marathon shape
2) One green veggie a day
3) Eat just a little bit less
4) One, and only one soda a day
5) Bust a**, and try to qualify for Boston (I just don’t know if I can do it)
