New Year’s Resolutions: a lazy food columnist has some changes in mind

Okay, it’s been several days now and still…no walk. I have completely stopped with the yoga as well. Way to get an idea and then totally not do it…at all. I have cooked several dishes which are ready to write about. My article this week is going to be Love Stew. This is a Thai style chicken dish cooked with curry and coconut milk. So, I have been eating Love Stew all week, for almost every meal. I really don’t mind because it is so delicious. Each day it gets a little spicier. Daphne won’t eat it because she is a vegetarian and Jack won’t eat it because he thinks it’s gross. It’s not a cheese burger and that is enough to make it gross for Jack.

Yesterday, I finally went Christmas shopping. Yes, on December 22nd. I had to get out there and finish…well, begin and finish…before the snow hits today. We are supposedly in for at least twelve inches. I am very happy about the timing of this storm because we have no place to be. We will just stay in, cook, eat, watch movies, and play games. Sounds great.

Okay, about these resolutions. I have been giving this a lot of thought. I would like to get in better shape and stop gaining any more pounds. Ideally, I should shed about twenty pounds. Its a cliche…lose weight as a resolution. I guess I am not alone out there. I already know I won’t be cutting out cheese, butter, wine, or anything else delicious. Instead, I will walk and practice yoga. I just have to actually do it. I will. Now that it is so close to the new year, I will begin in the new year. Unless, I get some crazy energy burst and decide to just get out in the snow and walk. No, this is not procrastination. Waiting until the new year is just very logical at this point. Not really, I am being very lazy and want to give myself a few more days, maybe even a week, of sheer laziness. This way, if I do any exercise betweeen now and then, it will be so impressive. Who knows, it could happen. Maybe I should stop drinking quite so much wine too. Everything in moderation, right? We’ll see.

Well, I have to make a Love Stew movie, article and snap shots. So, I should get to it. Happy Holidays.
