Resolution plans

I know the new year is a big time for resolutions and that some people have success with them. I never have.

When I succeed in making positive behavioral change, it happens without a big formal announcement. I didn't even tell Paul when I gave up sugar, wheat and flour on Oct. 21, 2007.

My plans for this year do include getting back to my pre-pregnancy weight -- which is unsurprising. Since I haven't weighed since giving birth, I don't know how far off I am -- probably somewhere between 10 and 20 pounds. I really shouldn't be worried about it for a couple more weeks.

But, at six weeks postpartum (next Friday), I'll weigh with Tiffany and go back on the plan for non-pregnant women. That's next Friday. I'll also get a pair of inexpensive jeans that fit, as all the ones I have now are too tight -- and I got rid of the ones that would've fit a long time ago.
