Good Evening!  Thought I would post tonight as I have really enjoyed reading everyone else’s posts and appreciate that there are others willing to share their stories.  I have been on vacation for 5 days now (2 weekend days and 3 workdays) and all I can think about is I just want time to SLOW down.  I wish my vacation was a month or two as I just want and need to be away from work for awhile, but alas I have two weeks.  I will say though, that as we begin this new year I am not going to devote so much of my time to work.  There must be a balance in my life and I want to be able to enjoy both my work life and my home life - as equally as possible.  

I must say that eating over the last few days has been hard.  I made peanut butter kiss cookies last night and it has been difficult just to keep my hands off those.  I have had more than I should have had today, but I am human and they are so good.  I have been taking the boys (our two dog - one is about 80 lbs and the other is about 50 lbs) out for walks each day and then once they have endured the cold long enough I have brought them back home and continued on.  

I am wanting to restart the couch to 5K program - I attempted to do it before, but work and other commitments got in the way and I couldn’t finish.  I thought I would start week one, day one again tomorrow and I would also try to put together a weight lifting program that I could do at home.  I will see what I can come up with and will include that with my daily posting.  

I have to accept that I will not be perfect this holiday season, but that I am trying.
