I write this post feeling a bit sheepish. I fell behind a bit on my New Year’s Resolutions. For a split second I considered coming here and telling you about all I had done and how great I did these past two weeks, but in all honesty, I slacked a bit.

The first problem was when I didn’t get to the store in time and I ran out of yogurt. I swear it was all downhill from there, because it threw me off of my morning routine, and my snacking routine. I was still eating my Cheerios but I felt like I wanted more. Unfortunately sometimes the cravings got the better of me.

The good news is, I didn’t GAIN any weight. Matter of fact I still lost an additional pound, bringing me up to a grand total of 7 lbs lost – which really isn’t bad for a month. I’m just kinda hard on myself and felt like I lost a bit of my momentum. The good news is, I have been LOVING on my new Xbox 360 with Kinect – and I’ll confess that I may have bought “Dance Central” for it as well. I’ve been “Evacuating the Dance Floor” with Ke$ha like, every night.

Also, for about 2 weeks I slacked on using Walmart’s free health and fitness tools, but when I got back on the wagon this week I noticed a CONSIDERABLE change in my momentum and determination. Keeping track of everything I eat makes me SO much more conscious of everything that I put in my mouth – and since I know that one Oreo is a whopping SEVENTY calories, I think about all of the other things I could be doing with those calories before it goes near my mouth.

I’ve also completely slacked in taking my vitamins, which make me feel SO much better when I do. My biggest hang up with the vitamins is that I can’t take them on an empty stomach, so I have to take them with food and I never seem to remember to grab them when I eat, or I’m out at a restaurant and I forget. I need to work on carrying a few of them in my purse, and leaving them somewhere in my house where I will remember to take them.

Then, of course, there was my daughter’s 4th birthday party – which meant that there was, of course, cake. Cake and ice cream. Funfetti cake with strawberry icing. I couldn’t pass that up!!! My little princess would have been crushed if mommy didn’t want to share her birthday cake, or at least that’s what I told myself!

Don’t worry, I haven’t completely forgotten my health goals, and I’m still on track to lose that 15 lbs, though maybe not as fast as I originally thought I would. I’ll definitely try and keep you updated!
