A quick one! Had to unpack my desk, barely been able to work all morning! Hope you all are doing great, I will have to catch up on blogs, later! Love ya!

Had a great Christmas! Got some real nice things. Spent some good time with mom and dad and Ted at the nursing home, the food wasn’t so great, but at least it was semi healthy. We will have our ham later in the week. So, back on program strict tomorrow! Already packed a salad for lunch. I am proud to say, I didn’t let up on my workouts one bit while I was off, and have to get up at 5 am tomorrow to do it again! I will get back into it!

Ok, let’s not spend time beating ourselves up for what we ate. If we enjoyed our holiday and our families that is the most important thing. And I think we would have done much worse if we were not at least mindful of what we were doing. So let’s dig up the fresh resolve and make tomorrow a new day, a fresh start! We can and will be great in 2008! It is all up to us! We can do it!! Well off to bed, I’m tired, and back to the grind tomorrow. I will get on if and when I can! Love you all! Kama

Wil be back at work tomorrow. Will have to unpack my desk and set up, so I don’t know when I will be on if at all. But I will doing my workouts and staying op, just wanted to let you all know.

Hope you all are having a wonderful Christmas! We did, Ted loved all his gifts, andI love mine too! A friend sent me a new blouse, which I really like, and the funny thing is, both Ted and I thought it looked too small, but guess what? It not only fits, but is a little big! Yahooo! I love it! I got alot of nice things this year, too! Well, I’m gonna get a light workout in tthis morning, mom will be over at 3, and then we will go see dad. But I just had to log on and wish you all the happiest of holidays! Enjoy! Love you all!

Can’t believe it is Christmas Eve already! Well all the “busyness” is done! Gonna take a soak in the tub after I get done here. Did all my laundry today, and my Billy Blanks cardio, and some new Stomach exercises I got from Fitness magazine called “Tummy Tuck Workout” I will let you all know how they go. But I think you can look them up on www.fitnessmagazine.com. Let me know if you can’t find them, if you are interested.

Well, hopefully I can get on sometime tomorrow. Mom is coming over at about 10 AM, I want to get a workout in before then. We will open gifts and then go see dad. We have to be there by noon, I think, so we will take his gifts to him.

NOT looking forward to work Wednesday! Been too nice to be home! Love being able to work out when I want, and sleeping in and stuff like that! Oh well, had to end sometime, checked my work email and had 14 pages! Ugh! So I deleted what I didn’t need.

Well, I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and make some beautiful memories, love you all!

‘MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT”

First of all thanks for the support I got on my last blog. I am determined to stay as healthy as possible, but understand the slipping is to be expected, and I AM human. Well, wasn’t feeling too well today, couldn’t sleep last nite, only got about 4  hours, and something is wrong with my left eye, it hurts and waters, but I can’t see what is wrong. So, I’m just coping with it, using eye drops. I did take about a 2 hour nap today, after wrapping presents, that helped a little, but when I woke up, I was craving cookies! Arrgghh! Thank God I gave most of them away! Ted is munching down the rest of the peanut clusters, that is good.

So, just took it easy today, couldn’t get on till now, My eye hurt too much, and so I told Ted to get his work done first. No workout today, I take a break on Sundays. I wil tomorrow and Christmas, then it will be back to work on Wednesday. Hope the will not be too much of a mess! So I may not be abel to get on at work until Thursday, but I will try, just hope my phone and computer work!

Hope you are all having a wonderful holiday, and taking the time to remember why we celebrate it and showing our loved one’s some extra love!

I’m so grateful to still have my parents with me. And to have My man Ted with me, and all my wonderful, awesome friends! And for where I am health wise this year. So much to be thankful for!

Well, off to post and read blogs, love you all!

I have to confess, haven’t been too good with my eating since lunch yesterday, I have tried, but between the goodies yesterday and then I had to ruch out this morning for mom(haven’t even done my workout, yet, but I will), so then she insists on buying me dinner, a huge turkey sandwich and soup, at least I said no to dessert! So, I’m hoping it does not get worse from here, I have done pretty goods up til now, need to maintain my focus, and remember this holiday is not about the food. It is about the birthday of Jesus, and about family and giving. I need to remember that, think my “wanter” got out of hand. I haven’t weighed my self again, will in the morning, but I’m afraid I may have gained, ARRGGHH!!!

Well, at least I had an awesome time yesterday, got all my shopping done, and spent some great quality time with my best friend, Linda. She loved all her presents, and I love mine, too. Got lots of dolphin stuff, wich I love! Have to wrap all the other stuff, to put under the tree. Now to keep buddy out of it!

Well, I just wanted to come on, and fill you all in. NO dinner for me tonite! Was gonna make tacos for Ted, but he is sleeping, and I’m not hungry, so I may make them tomorrow.

Got a great deal on a ham, too, was a $22.00 ham and I got it on sale for $8.87!!! Woo hoo! So, we can have that, at home, and will got see dad with mom on Christmas and eat a little with him. He seems kind of down today, he is so sick of that place, but we have toi do what is best.

Well, hope you all are hanging in there, and being better than me, and getting your workouts in! I will do mine tonite, I promise! Love you all, and I will be back in the morning!

Yesterday was awesome!First, I got up and weighed and was down a pound, But while we were out, I think I had one too many treats, so I gotta work hard to day. Will not be able to work out till this afternoon, have to get the car back to mom this morning, and go to the store. So, I’m making this quick. I will have to catch up on blogs later. Hope you all are doing great! I did get all my shopping done, just have to wrap it all, now, found some great deals, too! Well, gotta run, love you all!

Just now got online, Ted was busy this morning! Poor guy, he still doesn’t feel well, hoping it is not pneumonia, but no fever, he just needs alot of rest, I think.

Well, I spent some quality time with Billy Blanks this morning! Hmmm, Jackie and Angela, we keep him busy! LOL, talk about a group thang, lol!!! I did his new “Amped Cardio” Wow!! He uses and amplifier bar, and I already had one, so it rocked! I can feel it! No weight gain, must be my workouts, Woo hoo!

I confess, I did get into the cookies and peanut clusters I made yesterday, good thing I’m giving alot of it away! Too much temptation, trying to stay good with it all!

So, how are we doing? Getting all your workouts in, I hope? Got all your shopping done? I will have mine finished tomorrow. I won’t be on tomorrow because after my workout, I will be headed to my best friend’s house for a girl’s day and to do Christmas shopping, will be fun, we will ride the Scottsdale trolley(love it) and see all the decorations, and do lunch and stuff like that, will be an all day thing, really looking forward to it. Will try to eat healthy, they have great salad places over there.

Well, the news on mom is that she is out seeing about getting another car today, her old one is being totaled. I asked if she needed me to go with her, but she said no. She is really getting her spunk back and it is good to see.

She is also upset about the nursing home not giving her updates on dad, I know he wants to come home and she is impatient about that, she is gonna call his dr to get the update.

Thanks for all the congrats on my sobriety, feels great! And yes, if I was ever in doubt that Ted is a keeper, there is none now!

He was so awesome, and bragged on me for turning to exercise in times of stress instead of drugs and alcohol or even food! He said it was such a turn on for him to watch me change so much for the better! I do love him so much! I’m so grateful to God for putting him in my life!

Well, I hope you are all having an awesome day! Gotta do my posts and read blogs, love you all!

I mean, really. The thing with my daughter could have thrown me for a loop, but all the support I got form you all really got me thru it, you all are awesome, and I love you! Well, been doing great on my workouts, will do the Billy blanks Live boot camp today, and my challenges and floor work. I’m actually sore from my workouts, a good thing!

Well, I have to confess, all the holiday “busyiness” got me yesterday, I was so tired, so I succumbed to getting Taco Bell for dinner. Was Ted’s birthday, and he loves it. I was so tired, I didn’t even look at the calories, just got what he wnated for me too. Sooo, will workout extra hard and be good on my progam today. Was real good until dinner last nite. *note to self* Don’t get too tired!

Went to see dad yesterday, think his spirits were down, he is so sick of that place, I know. Poor mom is almost in tears each time we leave him. I did help her get some stuff at the store she needed, wow! Walmart was packed!

Almost done with my gift shopping, got 2 more things to get, and something for anohter good friend that I heard from last nite.

Then, this weekend, gotta wrap it all. Gonna do some baking today, after I workout. Busy, busy, busy! Bought a good movie last nite, called “The Nativity Story” I really liked it, reminded my of one of my favorite books, “Two From Galilee” by Marjorie Holmes. Very good, sweet retelling!

So, how are we all doing? Thanks for all the congrats! On to another clean and healthy year!!! Well, now let’s not be great big Santas and munching on cookies and gingerbread, ok? Let’s get those workouts in!

Oh, any gourmet coffee lovers out there? I bought some new coffeebeans, “peppermint” flavor, will let you all know if it is good!

Planning to eat Christmas dinner at the nursing home with mom and dad, hope it is good, “nursing home food” you know, but it will mean alot to mom and dad, and we can open presents with him.

Nothing new from my daughter, oh well, putting that to rest, thanks for all the support again. Well gotta go do my posting and read blogs, love you all, and have a great day!
