Huge Work-out

Today I could sing the theme song to "Biggest Loser" and truly mean it!! I did something to make myself feel proud. I joined up at the gym AGAIN!!! I had a blast working out with my friend Deanna!! We also took the kids bowling with their cousins, aunt and Grandma. That's always fun too!! Then because the weather was so gorgeous, I took the girls on a huge long bike ride. I sure hope I can get out of bed in the morning. Also...because our January calendar already looks scary with basketball 3 nights every week, academic practices, dance and just normal stuff...I'm actually entertaining the thought of getting out of bed at 4:30 on two mornings a week to get my work-outs in and stay on track. Remember the key word was "entertaining". We'll see....I know I want to lose 5 pounds by the end of January....so it's going to take more than just entertaining thoughts!!!!

Facebook

I was recently introduced to Facebook courtesy of one of my roommates from college. I did not know how many people do that facebook thing. It's been kind of fun getting back in touch with my college friends. It's been very interesting in hearing what all everyone has been doing in the last 19 years. Isn't it amazing where everyone has ended up living?? We all started out in a tiny town of Siloam Springs, AR and have ended up in all parts of the US. Anyway....that's been a new and interesting addition to my cyberworld adventures!!

Snow Days!!

It's been a wonderful pre-Christmas treat to have 2 days off this week. Housework has stayed caught up...including laundry!! :) I actually have successfully completed something on my "I wish I had time to do" list. Making Christmas goodies for my friends and wrapping them was something fun that the kids and I took time to do this morning!! I hope everyone likes their treats!!

Missing 2 days in a row in December makes me a little nervous....what if we have more snow days in January and February?? I definitely don't want to go to school in June!!! That would stink!! Remember, I have a pool that I get to use this summer and so summer should come early.

Speaking of the pool...that reminds me of working out. Which reminds me of how much I haven't worked out since Fall Break. I'm thinking that for the next 2 weeks I am not going to beat myself up for indulging in the Christmas yummies. I know on Dec. 26, I'll be hauling my hiney to the gym and joining again and practicing all of those things I learned at Weight Watchers last year.

For now...I'm enjoying this beautiful time of the year. I love everything about Christmas. I love the spirit of the season more than anything though. I love how people hug more during the holidays. I also love how when I leave school on Friday the 19th, everyone will make it a point to say Merry Christmas and truly mean it. I love listening to Mix 96....and how it drives the rest of my family nuts between t-giving and Christmas!! (They are only playing Christmas music!!) And I love dragging my husband with me to Christmas shop. He really isn't a scrooge...and he can be the more generous one and enjoy it!! Anyway....snow days are awesome. And it's much better when you have electricity!!
