Ok, I fixed it.

I think everything is fixed with my Comcast Blogger account and the Gmail Blogger account. I removed my old self and put my new self in with the rest of you.

As far as the resolutions go: I've (mostly) given up soda. I drink A LOT of water and tea. When I'm feeling desperate, I grab a diet coke. I'm still slipping with late-night snacking. Last night I munched on mini-Hershey's bars and Werther's while playing my Xbox360 till 2 in the morning.

BUT I also keep track of these munchies and any other meals. I've kept a Food Diary on my little Touch iPod Jill got me for Christmas. I pull it up, put the date, the time and what I'm having and, if it's readily available, the calorie count. I've been doing it for a few weeks now. It's so funny - when I go back to the beginning, the list is looong. Snacking all day and weird things, too. 3 Pickles, a Pepsi, and Doritos at 10 pm? I've gotten down to 5-7 entries a day. Breakfast, coffee, munchies, lunch, munchies, and then dinner. Sometimes munchies. When I start feeling the dreaded munchies, I think, 'Do I really want to add that to my list?'

For example, last night I stopped myself from having a king size Twix because I looked at what I'd already had and made myself put it down. I didn't want to add it. If it was on paper then it really happened and I couldn't ignore it.

I'd like to workout more but standing on my feet all day makes the couch look too inviting.

Anybody have "losing weight" at the top of their 2009 resolution list?
