i have never been big on new year's resolutions. in fact, i have often mocked others for making ridiculous ones of their own. losing 30 lbs in a month; giving up smoking without taking any substantive measures to really prepare oneself for the physical and mental difficulties involved in giving up the nasty habit; no longer drinking diet cokes even though you previously drank 8 or more a day; no longer eating fast food after you happened to watch 'super size me' in the month of december. et cetera, et cetera. . .
and despite all this, i am now attempting some bold changes in my gastronomical intake because i would like to shed a few pounds and not get winded when i walk up to the 3rd floor of a building. my birthday is in early april, and until that date, here are the following things i would like to avoid:
1) all meat and fish (i will attempt to avoid meat products as well, but if i happen to eat some green beans that have been cooked in a little pork fat, i'm not going to be too worried about it)
2) beer (this shouldn't be too difficult. i can easily drink wine or liquor over beer, although i do love that first lager on a saturday afternoon)
3) french fries (going to be quite difficult)
4) chips (going to be quite difficult as well, especially dorrito's)
this blog offers me the opportunity to make my goals public so as to add a little bit of peer pressure fear so as not to humiliate myself by giving up on these alleged changes over the next week or two.
be prepared for an update on april fool's day. . .

You can do it Georgie! I will be pulling for you. I hope you have more success than my new years resolution in '01-- giving up oxygen. That did not work at all. I didn't even make it through the first week without giving in and breathing. In hindsight that was really just a poorly conceived plan. What was I thinking?
oxygen is way overrated in my opinion. those damn trees do nothing but pollute our air. . .
