New Year, New Me?

So, this year, like all years, I want to try to lose those last few pounds of baby fat. Since the baby is 5 years old now, I think it's finally time. The problem is, I don't like to work out alone and it's been too darn cold to walk outside. So I rounded up a few thirty-somethings like myself and hit the gym. In three weeks, almost three hours on that stinkin' elliptical, I have still lost less than one pound (0.6 lbs to be exact). So tonight, I'm joining an ab class and a kick-boxing class. And I probably shouldn't have eaten that rice crispy treat for breakfast....or the bag of fruit snacks...or the breadsticks and cheese, but I forgot to eat breakfast and I was starving by the time I got to work and the snack cart in the high school office looked so tempting!!

Speaking of temptation...I need coffee! There's this amazing coffee place "The Mill" about ten miles from my house...it's indescribably good. I'm totally addicted! Hmm....that could be part of my weight loss problem...maybe I should switch to skim milk instead of half&half...
