At the beginning of 2007 I resolved to give up Starbucks and all their products for the entire year. The purpose of this was to save money, and in February I got a job that provided me a company card. Starbucks resolution, be gone! I don't have that job (or the company card) anymore but the Starbucks addiction has come and gone several times depending on my checking account surplus. I won't resolve this year to not buy it, but I'll continue to curb my consumption.

I also resolved to cease eating fast food buns. I reasoned that grilled chicken sandwiches are fairly healthy without the refined flour. I did in fact stop eating those buns and aside from a few instances I didn't eat fast food at all. Bravo!

I believe there were two other resolutions but I cannot recall them.
