I used to make New Year's resolutions by the dozen, but I don't seem to do that these days. Still, I've been thinking a lot about what I'd like to change this year, where I'd like to be at the end of it. I'm starting tonight with the physical: I have some baby weight to take off, and it is not going to go away if I continue raiding the bag of caramel kisses. I'm going to use a strategy that's worked for me before with excellent effects on my disposition and energy level: five servings of vegetables a day plus a gallon of water and NO SWEETS. I've had the vague idea of getting started every day this week, but now I am posting it on the web so I'll have to stick to it. Tomorrow is the feast of an obscure St. Felix, and my plan is to eat this way until the feast of St. Felicity (and St. Perpetua) on March 7. I'm also going to aim for some gentle exercise four days each week -- gentle as in walking briskly to pick the boys up from school. I'm still feeling a little too newly postpartum to try running just yet.
