Happy New Resolution 2009
It's back to the drawling board. I did a few things on my list of resolution last year, 2008. I made a blog of movies and weight loss. I bought my canon camera and took a lot of photos of nature. I actually finished a my book which I don't like to read fiction books - I mostly like to read from the internet. But there is one honest thing that I did gave up on and it was to loose weight. I did accomplish to loose some weight but I gain it all back. My starting weight for January 5 of 2009 is 316 lbs. UGH!
For my new resolution for 2009, I going to accomplish to make small goals for each month and keep it with it. For example, the month of January, I only taking in 1600 calories a day and exercise twice a week for an hour.
I think that making small goals to accomplish something big, is the right way to do. Wish me good luck and I hope you all join with me in loosing weight and achieving my and your goals for 2009.

Dump the cake mix into a mixing bowl. Empty your diet beverage of choice in with the cake mix. Mix on high for 3-5 mins. Take your baking vessle of choice, grease it up with some non-stick spray and pour in the mix.

That's it! No eggs and no oil! Just the mix and a can of diet soda. And this works for all cake flavors! Chocolate, Vanilla, White, Rainbow, Strawberry, Spice. Add a dollop of Fat Free Cool Whip to your slice and enjoy!
Eat Sweets and loose weight, too!
You can still have your sweets and still loose weight by having a little cut of the pie just by reading the label on the container or box for the calories. For instances, Kraft Jello Gelatin is only 10 calories per container. Also, my favorite desert of all time is the sugar-free chocolate pudding (70 calories), UMMM! With a squirt of cool whip, 20 calories to top it of calcium.
There is a lot of deserts out there to have and still be satisfied. The only problem is do make the right choices and not to go over board. Kaft's Food website has great wonderful choices to eat healthy and they have healthy tools to watch your weight like body mass index, calories burn, counters, food analyzer and etc... They, also, have a Diabetes center of choices to make the right meals of recipes and food choices. Krafts products are everywhere and easy to find in a grocery store but its very hard to find the right choices of products to stay healthy. Well, Kraft website have a Product Benefit solution site that they will help you select the right choice of product like low fat, fiber, kid friendly, vitamin D and etc...
