There is no RESOLUTION BUSTING going on here.
I'm back on track...

I'm eating smarter, working out and staying positive.

Things to ponder:
Does anyone else think it's a total conspiracy that the beginning of the year brings so many "candy" & beer drinkin' holidays? What's a dieter to do?

Things that help me:
I don't totally deprive myself.
If I want a Cadbury Creme Egg I have one, not 5, just one!!!

I've learned that if I totally give up eating/drinking all of my "favorite" things, for good, as soon as I lose the weight and start eating/drinking those things again the weight will come back, and usually double.

So go out and eat/drink things that you crave, just make sure it's in moderation. You know, so instead of 12 green beers on St. Patrick's Day maybe cut back to 2.
