Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year!!! I am excited for 2009 to be here. Andy and I are getting married in 2009! Duh.
We celebrated at our friend’s house for the second year in a row. It was a fabulous way to end 2008. I ate too much food. Bad for you food and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy it. Still, I am frustrated with my eating. I have gained some weight and I really want to stop that.
So in honor of the New Year and my upcoming wedding, I am putting myself on a mission; to eat healthier and enjoy every minute of it. I will be eating 1800-2200 calories a day and working out at least 3 days a week. A slow start and not too extreme because I can’t handle that. I plan on busting out my food scale and new blender to help me on this mission.
Dinner tonight was a celebratory meal including my favorite soup ever, French Onion!

Mimi’s makes one of the best French onion soups. I will miss it. ::weddingdressweddingdress::

Andy got meatloaf stroganoff. He loved it. It came on the “right portion, right price” menu. He had some French onion soup as well. I had a bite and liked it. I want to come up with a healthier substitution.

I had an old favorite of mine. A turkey pesto ciabatta sandwich. I forgot to say no fries! I hate French fries. The sandwich was huge. I ate it open-faced without the top layer of ciabatta. And honestly, I didn’t love this sandwich as much as I used to. I think my body is craving fruits and veggies. It’s all I’m craving. Tomorrow will be a fresh start. I can’t wait.
I’m off to bed! I look forward to updating this blog way more. Even if my friends laugh at me for taking too many pictures of food!
