Well, it's the last day of 2010 and of course we all know what that means....resolutions!! I am not sure if I really have a New Year Resolution or if I am just going to make the decision to become healthy. I think that like so many resolutions, it will be gone before the week is over...instead, I am going to make sure that everyday I remember that this is not just a once a year thing, but a lifelong continuing thing.
New Years Eve is not my favourite day of the year (simply because I can't be bothered to stay up that late for something that is over in under a minute!!), but this year I just might go out, have some fondue, visit with some people...at my GRANDMAS house!!!! How's that for partying!!! As funny as that seems, it really should be a good time...my parents, aunts/uncles, grandparents, kids, cousins all having some deepfried tidbits of food and playing games....that's my kind of a party! Before the consumtion of all this food (oh, did I mention the chocolate fondue for dessert??) I have a date with some friends at the gym this morning and a good dose of house cleaning should burn off some extra calories.
This morning when I got up, I stripped down and stood on the scale, saying a silent prayer as I watched the numbers appear on the floor...down another pound!! Hooray for me - two down, 38 to go!!! Once again, could be water loss, but once again, I'll take it!! My parents were here yesterday and when they come my Mother tends to cook good food and bake with my kids...this visit was no different!!
She baked Nutella Brownies with my five year old - here is the recipe:

They are soooooooo good, and since they are mini it makes it easy to just have a few and be satisfied. For supper we had perogys - made with my butter and cream sauce - so good!! I have also cut back on my addiction to Iced Tea (the sugary kind) and have cut back from approx. 6 beer mugs per day to 1 or 2 per day!!
Well, I will sign off here as I need to take my kids to see their grandma so i can go work out at the gym!! I will talk to you all next year!
Happy New Year!
