New Start for 2009

2009 is the year of weight loss and fitness for me (as well and attempting to become more frugal, but that's another post altogether!).

2008 was a year of being pregnant for what seemed like forever, and finally giving birth to Reuben on the 20th October.

In March I need to look relatively decent in a beautiful bridesmaids dress for Meegan and Rob's wedding. This is my main source of motivation for the next 9 weeks or so. I don't want to be the largest in the bridal party!

So far so good. But it's only the 4th Jan :)

I had given myself a wide girth for 'healthy eating' up until today, as we weren't supposed to be home from holidays until last night, but we made it in good time and drove 14 hours straight on Friday. This drive all depended on what the boys were like and whether we needed a break and stay somewhere over night. Luckily we didn't and so I got an extra days start on my goal for '09.

My only gripe: Why is it so expensive to eat healthily on the run?

Because we didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on food and drinks on the trip home, we kept to the major fast food chains. McDonald's got a rather large donation from us over a few different stops along the way home!
