Losing the Baby Weight- The First Step

The first step for me was to sit down and write out things I want to change and I know I need to change. My list looks like this:

1. Stop using butter excessively- I cook everything with butter, and though it tastes amazing it is just not healthy and I know it.
2. Spend more time on the floor- By this I mean I need to stretch more, I feel like most of my day I spend on the couch and my back constantly aches.
3. Replace sweets with healthier options- I have and always will have a sweet tooth. I can't help it, I crave something sweet after just about every meal (except breakfast- cereal is pretty sweet).
4. Stop eating so much cereal!
5. Eat less rice- I dont know if it is because we live in Hawaii and white rice is a staple out here but we eat rice just about every other day and I want to knock that habit.
6. Exercise everyday- this one will be hardest for me but even if I just do some floor workouts for a half hour or lift some weights in the garage.
7. Find new fruits and veggies- I feel like I am stuck in habit, when I go to the market I always get the same stuff. Change is good, right!? Maybe even start juicing for snacks.

I started by going to the farmers market this week. Picked up some bananas, onions (I always get white or yellow so I got a red this week too), mango, papaya, carrots, celery, green beans (never really buy out here), bok choy (which I really dont even know how to cook, but the start to a new adventure) and kale.
