For the month of February, I have given up butter. Now, I may have chosen this for the shortest month of the year, but it was not a conscious decision. I have not put butter on anything so far, and I haven't particularly cared. One thing I really love is a waffle or pancake with nothing on it but butter. Luckily, I haven't been faced with that temptation yet!
Our school's Biggest Loser Competition begins Monday, so I will need to get on top of the whole weight-loss situation - so far I've done little more than just give up what I plan to give up. In January, I gave up eating out, and my commitment to continuing a limit on eating out will be that I will no longer eat out on my own. I have a bad habit of stopping somewhere in those rare moments I'm alone in the car. And when I do stop, its never for a salad! Cheddar-Bo's at Bojangles are a definite issue in these situations. I don't stop as much when the kids are in the car because then I would have to buy them something!
I also need to be exercising, but it has been so cold here I've found myself making excuses. I'm starting to feel a lot of pain in my lower back and I think its because I'm not doing much. I need to get myself moving!
