Ok- so that isn't a very Original title.. having finally had a second in the past couple days to check in on every one.. I see that is a common theme! ~lol~
Hopefully the New Year has passed & you have survived it & come thru unscathed..or at least by now you have recovered if nothing else!
We ended up having a progressive dinner party that took us to a total of 4 different homes for 4 different courses of dining adventures .
I seem to spend Waaaaay too much time telling you about all the eatin & drinking goin on in our lives so I'll give you the Cole's notes version & say that we ended up here with about a dozen adults & 7 kids by the time Midnight rolled around! It was a great combination of both levels of fun- champagne & the Hot tub for the grown-ups & sparkling apple juice & X-box for the kids!
& everyone in the Cul-de -sac for sparklers & much banging of pots at 1200!
But Now.....
It is TIME ...
ok -it is SOOOOO way past time for me to ditch the Holiday mode that I have somehow slipped into & REMAINED in since the Trip to Mexico in November..
Today I began what I know will be the S L O W & painful trek back to a focus of fitness & health & eating right.
So it's been glass after glass of water ( or actually-warm cup since it's been bloody cold, rainy stormy all day) & throwing out all the spinach dip & other remnants of the orgy of food & drink that took over our household for December.
& it was a trip up the stairs to do a spin on the treadmill...nothing really exciting.. don't want to bugger my foot right off the get go.. since it's been almost tolerable lately- but Cardio none the less.
I know I have a LOT of work to do..
ALOT!
& frankly since I- not unlike some other blends- have dark moments of depression in the winter ..I don't know if I want to know the weight & numbers just yet..it might just send me into a bad spin :(
I'm not all excited & fired up .. maybe some of you could lend me a dose of your enthusiasm..cause I know some of you have LOTS right now..
I seem to have left mine somewhere... or maybe it's just general lethargy- I dunno
but I just know it is TIME.

Baby steps. Eventually, you'll find your mojo again. I've been on a high recently, which is unusual for this time of the year for me. What helps is reading active blogs, particulary of those who are training for a fitness competition. Also, I started reading some runner's blog. There's a lot of 'em out there!
Happy New Year! Hope 2007 is good to you!
I agree, baby steps. I felt the same way until I just jumped in there and started after enjoying the holidys way too much. All it takes for me is to look at the calendar and realize how soon spring will be here and I cannot stand the thought of feeling like crap when it is bathing suit season cause that will send me into deep dark depression no doubt.
Take some pics in your biniki - that should get you movtivated.
Finding a competition gets me moving, personally.
One day at a time.
Girl-focus on ONE PERFECT BLF DAY AT A TIME. It's easier in smaller doses. You will be back on board in no time. And-I am jealous of your fun you've been having since November! WHEW-Mexico, parties, spinach dip (stomach growling, mouth salivating!!----free day..wait till free day :) ) You will do this...sending a bit of enthusiasm your way-hugs-Dede
:)
Just checking in!!!!!
:o)
I've missed you! I'm back in, but not so fired up yet.
I LOVE the gorgeous Christmas atmosphere that shined through your photos from the holidays. The girls on the stairway really captured the mood you created.
I would recommend that you find a picture of yourself from last summer that you like - one of your camping or boating pix - and post it somewhere you can look at it every day. And remind yourself that in a few short months, you will be back out in the sunshine and warm weather. And you want to look HOT HOT HOT in those shorts!
Go, girl!
OMG! You wrote all of my very same thoughts, maybe you and I should get together and kick each other in the butt! lol! Your pictures look like soo much fun! Our next vacation is just going to be hubby and I and a nice cold drink on the beach! I can't wait! So I really need to get motivated quick!
Here sweets, have some of mine!! :D
Hey girlie-just checkin' in on you. Hope you are well. Hugs to ya..dede
