Merry Christmas!!!

Well, yesterday was not good at all.  I think I ate everything in site.  The main meal consisted of ham, baked beans, potato salad, and deviled eggs.  However, snacks consisted of chocolate cake, three kinds of fudge, pecan clusters, and chocolate chip cookies.  A paradise for someone on TOM. LOL!!   I kept snacking and snacking.  It sucked.  We got there at 3 and didn’t leave until 9.  I snacked almost the whole time.  I even drank a regular can of pepsi.  It’s okay though.  You know why?  It was my last holiday meal.  I also picked up and moved on and now it’s time to bust butt.

 A little bit of bad news.  I can’t join the Y full time.  We don’t have the money right now for membership.  It’s ok though.  I have an elliptical, 2 stationary bikes, and a weight bench at home.  I also have a couple exercise video’s.  There no excuses for me.  I just need to use them.  I also got released from therapy today. How cool is that?  I’m thrilled.   So for everything has an answer.  We just have to look for it sometimes.

2007 had it’s ups and downs.  Of course, the downs are the loss of our grandmothers.  The ups are that I got accepted into nursing school.  My surgery was an up and down.  Recovery was down but time off work was up and the hopes of a better foot is an up.  We have to look at the positive sides. I’m sure 2008 will carry ups and downs as well.  Let’s just keep a positive outlook  and look forward.  I’m going to have a tough year with nursing school and all but I will get through and the rewards will be something to look forward to.  As for weight loss, we ALL will have a good year.  We ALL will have success.  Stay positive and look forward.

I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
