New Plan-Exercise

I have this idea that I'm going to use video blogging as motivation to get me into the best shape of my life. I thought I would get on the scale and video tape my weight and each day report about what I ate and what I did for a workout. But then I thought... that's way too much pressure. And it's not even the weight part because I'm not overly obsessed about the numbers but just the responsibility of reporting back. But I guess that would be the way to make myself accountable. Should I attempt this? Dare I? I'll see how I feel in the morning. Anyway, I wanted to show you some moves I've been working on to tone my butt and abs at the same time. Check out the video. 

New Plan-Food

Have you started your New Years Resolutions? I never decide what I'm resolved to do until a few days into the new year. That's when I realize what hasn't been working for me. Some of these are so obvious but...I resolve to eat in. No more Glass Noodles, Turkey Burgers, Fish Tacos unless I make it at home. I resolve to eat healthy snacks. Those muffins, scones and croissants from coffee shops are evil. You know how it goes... you go in just to get your afternoon coffee and you end up with a 600 calorie bomb. Instead I'll replace the bombs with good snacks like apples, bananas, yogurt and granola. Here's what a couple of my homemade dinners looked like this week. Big Batch Vegetable Soup from Everyday Food and an impromptu Shrimp with Cremini Mushrooms, Broccoli and Linguine in a white wine sauce.

Enjoy the Small Things

Happy New Year! I chose this video of my teacup Pomeranian Louisa as my first post of the New Year. She's a great reminder to enjoy the small things in life. Hope you have a wonderful 2009. xoxo, Shonda
