We were hoping Roger Berkowitz and Lydia Shire might disclose some truly wild New Year’s resolutions on their Herald blogs (Berkowitz moves to the Berkshires and takes a vow of silence! Shire goes blonde!), but no. Seems both of ‘em just really want to lose weight. Berkowitz confesses that he’s—gasp—eight pounds overweight. As such, Berkowitz has embarked upon a diet of “Lots of healthy protein (fish) [shocker!], less carbs and sugar (desserts).” As for Shire, well, she was told by her doctor that it was time to diet and exercise. So she made herself a salad. With bacon, of course. [Herald]
