Chocolate Milk

Have you drank any chocolate milk lately?  My wife picked up a 1/2 gallon on sale at the grocery store today and I now remember why chocolate milk with my school tray lunch was so appealing.  It is almost like having a second desert along with the dried out apple crisp.

I remember watching a TV program this summer called "The Food Revolution with Jamie Oliver" and he covered chocolate milk in the first 1 or 2 episodes.  He simulated how much sugar school children took in in the L.A. area (where the show was being filmed) in a single week.  It was some crazy amount like 20 tons of sugar or something crazy like that.  Anyway, just a little thought for you to consider and something to keep in mind for your kids also.  Be careful what they eat and be careful what they drink.  Desert in liquid form can be very dangerous and habit forming!

Are you making one?  Do you know the meaning behind the word?  Let's consider this first before we get ahead of ourselves and make promises that we can't keep.  After all, what was your resolution for 2010 and how did that turn out?  Of several definitions I found here are a couple that I really like:

Resolution:  1) a resolve or determination: to make a firm resolution to do something.  2) the mental state or quality of being resolved or resolute;firmness of purpose

With this in mind, what would a New Years resolution include for you?  Aiming high can help push you but also make sure you're not over promising yourself with unrealistic goals or impossible new lifestyles changes.  


Also be sure to make your goals measurable.  How many weeks will it take you to loose that extra weight?  How many days a week will you work out?  Be specific and attach time frames to your resolutions.


So, what have you resolved with firmness of purpose to do this new year?  Good luck!
