Well, it's almost that time again - New Year's - when I start a new year with a diet. It always amazes me how quickly I can pack on the pounds over the month of December. December is one of those "anything goes" months when I take a long break from going to the gym and exercising and instead I indulge in Christmas cheer - and lots of it. To be quite honest, I love the break from calorie counting and exercising, but now it's time to start planning my New Year's attack.

Last New Year's my boyfriend and I made three big resolutions: 1. Quit Smoking 2. No alcohol for 3 months 3. Strict low-cal dieting combined with cardio for 3 months. To my amazement we actually did all three and coming up this January will be my 1 year no-smoking anniversary and I couldn't be happier about that.

So this January 1st my boyfriend and I have again agreed to resolve to slim down and get more fit. This time we will are committing ourselves to 5 months of diet and cardio 4 days a week. That's right - all the way from Jan 01 to June 01 :P! We will both do a weigh-in at Jan 01 2008 and will keep everyone posted on our progress and what we're doing along the way. Everyone is welcome to join us. We could track a group weight loss together! :o

Anyone else out there with ambitious New Year's resolutions to lose some weight?
