I know I’m crazy for doing this and I’m completely ripping this off from my friend Jon, but my New Year’s Resolutions are threefold and culinary in nature. I will…
- Eat no fried foods in 2007.
- Eat no desserts in 2007.
- Drink no Cokes in 2007.
That’s right. No French fries. No Mountain Dew. No chocolate pie. No fried chicken. No Sticky’s. None. I thought about going no meat in ’07, but that’s just crazy. I really don’t think this will be that hard. I’ve done no Cokes & no desserts before and I dropped about 10 lbs. The fried foods will be difficult, though. I’ll keep you posted.
Any bets on how long you think I can last?
already & not yet 
361 days.365 minusyesterday because it doesn’t really countSunny’s B-dayYour B-dayKids B-day.
“No Mountain Dew.”For me, that’s like saying, “No breathing.”
I give you until the end of this month.
Just remember you put it out there to the congregation that you love Chocolate pies. There are a lot of ladies at Mayfair that will not forget that. That will be touch but you can do it. Good Luck!
Laura, it’ll be tough to turn down that fried chicken at the potlucks, too. We’ll see.Sunny, that’s all the motivation I need.
Dude, where will we eat lunch?Desserts will be simple, and now that you’re no longer in youth ministry, your life doesn’t revolve around caffeine.But, its amazing how many foods are actually fried…I’ll post my resolutions later on my page.
Jason: You’ll make it until the new baby wakes you at 2 in the morning and you have to go in at 6am.
Three weeks. A deprivation mentality is a set-up for failure. Get yourself moving and breaking a sweat at least 30 minutes a day, lean toward protein (lean meat,eggs, fish, nuts) and “good carbs,” (veggies and fruit)and make them about 75-80% of your diet and you can occasionally indulge in the fried goodies and sweets with relatively little ill effect.
Sunny’s last comment was actually mine. I was posting under her profile unawares.
Mike,I forgot to mention that I want to exercise more frequently, too. Obviously I feel the need to cut out some of these things from my diet, but I also need to be more active.
Kenny,If I can make it through the night we had two nights ago, I can make it through anything. Abby Kate threw up about 4 times & the dog pooped on the floor. Needless to say, I was jonesing for a Dew on the way to the office. But I resisted the urge. Willpower, baby.
