Happy New Year!

Meet Karen

I realize I'm a bit late but ya know that's how I roll Yo! ;) This years resolution list is rather small and simple. 1. Fresh Food - No Chemicals 2. Write something in my journal every day Simple right? :D the fresh food is fantastic - I feel tons better! And I discover new foods almost everyday. I'm stepping back into my domestic self and it feels good. My friend Karen, who I've been working with for the past two years shared her before and after pic with me today and I was totally blown away. I knew she had lost weight but I had no idea how much. It took her a little over a year to reach her goal weight. She completely cut out fast food (she said that they were eating off of McDonalds dollar menu 3/4 times a week. She implemented portion control and fresher foods and she hits the gym almost every day. I was crazy inspired by this image and I hope it inspires you as well.
I saw Dr Oz's 28 days to a fresh start in this months Oprah magazine. I'll do it in February since there are 28 days in the month. So if you want to play along I'll be posting every morning to let you know the days challenge. I've read over it the first day is implementing Green Tea into your diet...so I've started now trying to ween myself off of coffee....verdict is still out :P I LOOOOOOVE coffee. Another biggie for me is Mellow Yellow - which I had already cut back to a couple a week, since starting Weight Watchers. By the way I haven't posted a picture in a while! I'm super happy with the steadily shrinking Renee. I put on about 7 pounds over the holidays but since the new year - I've been coming back down and I love wearing my smaller jeans!

if you were wondering....I LOVE tube tops!

Karen and I will be trying the 'Green Drink' tomorrow morning for breakfast. If you are unfamiliar with this - it's what Dr Oz drinks every morning for breakfast. Lots of nutrients and good for your guts splendidness. If you're interested in the recipe HERE IT IS. If you try it let me know what you think! I'd love to hear your resolutions or new leaf turnovers if you're rocking any this year :) Smooches!
