Productive

I walked on the treadmill for 27 minutes today. Other than that, I have done absolutely nothing else even remotely productive (like, you know the laundry that's piling up etc).

I did walk on the treadmill though.

So go me!

Sticking

So far, I have managed to stick to the eat healthy, exercise more plan. For breakfast I had a glass of water, a banana, and blueberry yogurt. I has another glass of water a little while ago and will probably have some kind of a snack shortly. I am hoping to hop on the treadmill after I make a cd this morning and am going to aim for 20 minutes today, and add 5 minutes every week until I am at an hour or so.

I definitely have more motivation and determination to do this than I have in the past. I seriously believe that it's an emotional thing...I feel better so I want to look better. For me though the main motivation seems to be my health this time around. I want to live to see my great grandchildren. Plain and simple.

Wildfire's...

...season premiere is tonight. Heather is going to be here shortly to watch it with me.

I think my kids might not have school tomorrow. One extra day of vacation could be a good thing. Or, it could bring one step closer to insanity. I'll let you know tomorrow.

I had a very successful day out and about today. I managed to exchange, return and buy everything I was supposed to. Actually, I had to return a shirt to Old Navy that didn't fit me right but I couldn't find something else I liked so I jut got a store credit instead. So, almost everything. I figure I'll wait, and if I actually stick to my New Year's resolution, I might get to go back this spring and get a shirt in a size or two smaller than I wear now. It might be a nice way to reward myself I guess.

I am back...

and feeling much better and rested. Staying up until 2 am is just not a good thing.

I am going to the mall today to return the random Christmas things that either don't fit or we have two of. Fun. I also have a Toy's R Us gift card to use on the kids, a Best BUy card to use on Ryun and I, and Border's gift card for me. I have to go to Sears and Old Navy to return clothing, and my sister and her friend who are coming with me have to go to Walmart and Kohl's. It's going to be a long shopping day for me!

Quick

OMG, I am wicked tired and possibly, maybe, just a bit hungover, but I thought I would jump on real quick to say this:

Drinking spiked punch makes for a speedy way to, well, to feel good. Apparently, it also does something to your brain that makes you do things like two shots of chocolate martini something or other, a shot of peach schnapps and 2:00am bed times.

But, I never drink, Ryun was driving, and we didn't have to get the kids until 1:30 this afternoon, so all in all, I don't feel too guilty.

I did go to bed at 2:00 am though so, yeah, the pillow calls.

Later!

Happy New Year!

We just got back home from the party. Umm, without getting in to too much detail, lets just say it was fun. Like, a lot of fun.

Happy New Year and goodnight!
