I’m going to New York in February for Fashion Week and I’d like to lose at least 20lbs. by the time February comes around. I know, it is a bit of stretch for someone starting a diet merely 2 weeks before Christmas but I’ve reached a point where what I’m eating now (this means lots of take out and fast food) is not treating me well so fresh, simpler foods are going to be a welcome change. I actually love salads and soups and that’s is usually my M.O. when I diet. It’s back to counting points.

The thing I really, really need to work on is moving my ass. I work at a desk for 8 hours during the day and usually I come home and nap, or sit in a chair and work on my blog. Either way, I’m definitely not raising my heart rate. I bought EA Active for the Wii and guess what? My thighs are too big to strap on their controller. My sister, who I live with, has been using it lately and it looks like something I’d like to do. The boxing in particular looks fun. I have to think of some way to make it work.

Here’s to another beginning with WW. I got the app already on my iPhone and I found my tennis shoes so I could put them in the car. I want to have them ready to go in case I get a wild hair and maybe, who knows, decide to go for a walk.
