Diet Season

I hate to be nit-picky, but can people please stop talking about ridiculous diets they're starting to lose a few quick pounds for some ridiculous reason?

I love supporting people on their own weight loss journey, but just as long as they're doing it the right way. It kills me to read on facebook that someone is attempting a 500/day calorie diet. I know that type of diet isn't sustainable and to be perfectly honest, it's borderline anorexic. I'm no doctor/dietitian/medical professional in any way, but I have smothered myself in this past year with motivating, educational resources that advocate a slow and steady weight loss. I feel like this gives me enough "smarts" to say that those diets aren't the way to sustain weight loss. I'm just sayin'

So yeah, here's to a happy and healthy diet season. Take care of yourselves!

New Years Resolutions

It's 2011!

Time for the obligatory New Years Resolution blog.

Although from a newly "addicted to blogging" blogger who likes to discuss her weight loss efforts with you all, it's come to my attention that I don't really have a New Years Resolution... not right now anyways, and not about weight.

See in the blogger world, I've come to discover, that every day offers you a resolution. A resolution that you don't have to wait to tomorrow to do something incredible. There's a motivating thought to chew on.

Blog Resolutions:

To continue my motivation into the New Year and to help inspire others via this blog or in person. I would love to have more people following my blog because it's really fun to know that when I write these posts it's to an actual audience! Likewise if you have a resolution to comment more on my random musings, I wouldn't be sad about that!

Health Resolutions:

To drink more water on the weekends. At work I regularly drink from my 1000 ml camelbak water bottle which I highly recommend. In fact I might actually do a giveaway in the future using my own money to purchase a camelbak as a prize! (Note to self, must to an Elizabeth's Favorite Things blog post and do giveaways in 2011)

Relationship Resolutions:
To try and not let the little things bother me as much as they sometimes do. For instance: "Why don't you close the curtain when you get out of the shower" fights.

Other Resolutions:
Take more pictures! 2011 will be an eventful year and I want to remember it dagnabbit!
