Chasing away Chubby

Happy New Year!

I spent the day today in contemplative reflection.  With the new year comes new challenges and every year we all think about what we want to achieve within this new  year.

I thought alot about what 2007 brought…many changes.  I went back to college, swore to get myself healthy and have lost 26 pounds.  I am now Fit…even though I am still fat.   I learned to run again.  I typically run 3 miles now.  I have accomplished much in 2007.

2008 and will bring many challenges.  I have alot to do to finish my degree by December 2008…now less than a year away.  I also am planning on running my first 5K this year, and losing another 47 pounds.  2008 is gonna be a big year too, if only I can keep it all together.

I gained about 5 pounds over the holidays!   Tomorrow is my official, get-it-back-on-track day.  Now that the holidays are over, I really have no excuse but to finish what I have started back on July 4th!

I did not work out today.  The new year dawned with a howling wind which brought in frigid temperatures!  The high today was 24 degrees!!!   It is snowing and I am hoping we get enough so that I do not have to go to work tomorrow.  But I am not holding my breath.  However, this being Kentucky, the frigid temps will not last long.  It is suppose to be 59 next Tuesday!

I did clean today.  I got alot done, the tree is down, the living room got straightened up, the kitchen swept and mopped, the kitty boxes litter changed, the living room vacuumed.  Neither of my vacuum cleaners are working correctly so i had to break out the swiffer carpet flick.  I used about 7 sticky pads to get the crap up off the carpet!  The makers of those things don’t seem to realize that not everyone’s house is immaculant and that  there are 5 people running over my house and that brings quite a bit of dirt, and stuff into my house!  They make those things too teeny, tiny.  I need BIG ones for my messy house!

Well I hope everyone had a superb new year!  May God and the Universe bless you all immensely this year!
