New Years Resolution?

I'm not big on New Years Resolutions. I actually never make them. But I have decided that I'm going to try to do a better job at making dinners. Carter still isn't eating what we eat for dinner. That might have a little to do with the fact that I don't cook anything all that great very often. Carter gets very clingy around dinner time and wants attention and to be picked up a lot. He makes it really hard to cook. And we still eat out a lot. Plus, Brian doesn't get home from work most nights until 6:30 pm and Carter is usually getting really hungry and moody by 5:30 or 6 pm (I'm still not sure how to work that out and all eat the same meal). Carter does eat well though at dinner even if he has a relatively limited amount of food that he likes right now.

I would also love not to put on so much weight with this pregnancy. I was able to run a lot to help get the weight off when Carter was littler but it's going to be a lot harder to do that with two.

So my plan is to make a list of dinners for the week on Sunday night and then go grocery shopping Monday or Tuesday to get whatever I don't have already to make those meals. And I'm going to try to do as much prep work as I can for dinner during Carter's afternoon nap. We'll see how long this lasts. I'm not getting too ambitious and still plan on eating out a few times during the week, but hopefully this will help me stay on track a little more and get Carter eating what we eat.
