A New Start to a New Year

      For all of the Pinterest people you may have seen the pin that said 2011 will be the last fat year of my life.  Well, I have deiced to take that to heart.  So Sunday before Roy, Mikey, and I went grocery shopping I made a menu for the week including breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  I used lots of recipes from one of the hungry girl cookbooks and  weight watchers online.  Somethings have been REALLY good (HG monkey business, WW lemon berry cornbread, and WW sausage and pepper pasta).  I am trying to do things different this year including being open to trying more foods.  I even ate the onions and peppers in my pasta tonight.  I have also tried chocolate soy milk and green tea.  I was very pleased.  I think when we went to the grocery store we spent more money in the produce section then we ever have.  To help shed the pounds I have been listening to more music when doing work then watching TV while doing work.  When I listen to music I just naturally move more then when watching tv and I read fidgety people tend to be skinnier then their counterparts.  So I can be ok being a fidgety person.  Tonight I also did 32 minutes on the treadmill plus did the Monday workout I pinned in Pinterest under Work It Out.  I feel truly motivated to change and I hope I can keep up this motivation.  We will see how it goes tomorrow at work with the kids and the great snack pantry!  My plan for tomorrow is to wake up at 5:45 get on the treadmill for 30 minutes then shower and all that good morning stuff.  Then after work I plan on doing Zumba on the wii.
        I also cleaned up the house for the new year.  I still have to do my office which I think will be a weekend experience next weekend.  Today the big undertaking was moving Mikey's playroom upstairs.  It took all afternoon but is now done.  It looks amazing if I do say so.  There are pictures on my facebook.  It has been a very productive 3 day weekend and I'm excited about what lies ahead!
