That’s a really great list! Mine was so lame in comparison! (I only had one resolution…to stop talking about…well, I cant say, I stopped talking about it…LOL)

I eat a salad several times a week but I want to incorporate more greens. So I’m all with you for that one as well as the reducing sugar. That stuff is in everything!! Wishing you good luck from Corvallis.

There are some lollipops that are green…;-) I am with you on the bring lunch to work though, I am notorious for “forgetting”. Or being lazy. Good reminders to stay motivated!

You are silly, I have a memo signed by one of your professors in college that says so. I’m guessing you might be eating a lot of frogs this year. Poor Kermit.

Hmmm- did I resolve to eat new-to-me meats this year?

It’s not silly at all to eat something green every day. It’s a ritual with me to ask my husband, if I haven’t decided already, “So do you want salad or something else green?” I can’t imagine a dinner without something green.

I’m with you on the bringing lunch to work. I have a plan – I have a big blue piggy bank that I’ve been tossing excess change and bills in, and every time I bring my lunch to work instead of going out, I’m going to stick a $5 bill in there. Breakfast I already bring from home, but I’m a Starbuck’s snob, so I’m going to slow down the Starbuck’s. I’ll stick $2 in the bank every time I bring coffee in my Starbuck’s mug instead of buy it.

Oh yeah, one other resolution: recycle more. We spent the day cleaning out our garage (I feel so accomplished!) and set up a whole recycling center. It’s amazing to truly recycle everything we can I have to go to three different places in town in addition to our regular recycling pick up. I can’t include composting in my recycling because I have a totally black thumb, but I figure if I combine my waste less food resolution with recycle more they will work well together.

Wow I should really be copying your resolutions for myself! I definitely waste too much food and money and should start bringing lunch to work!

Happy New Year!

Wasting less food is at the top of my list. I am lucky enough to have access to really great, fresh food, much of it from local producers, but then life gets ahead of me and I don’t cook with it all as planned. I’m working on making two shopping trips a week this year and buying less during each one. We’ll see how that works out for me.

Last year my hobbies were food and movie critic. Neither of which were good for my waist/waste line. This year, I am buying a 1963 Rambler American 440 that needs restored. Perhaps it will help me avoid eating so much, but then again, the fun picnics that can be driven to in a Rambler… and the celebration of each step of its restoration… LOL
