Hey everyone -- This time it is me who has been MIA - The holidays just get more and more busy each year it seems. I feel like I am the director of a play and only I have the family clipboard that will make it all happen. The four of us in my family also took turns a bit with being sick one at a time - nothing terrible just enough to slow down the works. I also did some handmade gifts that occupied my hands and kept me off my web sites. Very satisfying!
Traditionally the new year is the time for resolve to eat better, exercise more and make other resolutions. Does everyone have a list? I think the vow to do better is perpetual in my case - always reinventing, always striving to do better. Today and yesterday have been pretty much an indulgence with all the holiday food around, but I have to say that things are going really quite well. I would like to drop about 5 more lbs so my clothes look better and just keep up the current pace with the workouts! I love it. So I do need to stop the feast tomorrow by going back on the Fitday.com site and going back to my great habits I have had thus far this season.
I read the messages on the old thread but it wouldn't let me add a message - high time for a new thread anyway. Catherine it was wonderful to hear from you. Speaking of gardening I got >300 bulbs for Christmas from my brother - and you all may recall I live in Alaska, the ground is frozen! Yikes what to do! While I still use JV a bit for fill-in, the Body Pump is something I highly recommend! A great overall workout with results, and you don't find yourself eyeing the clock or battling boredom.
Steph you sound full of resolve and ready for the new year to take you to another level. I vow to join you every step of the way.
Justy congrats on the closure of an old chapter. When you are ready to move on it is best to get all the closure out of the way so you can get those wings spread freely. Keep us up to date.
Raychel my what a year 2001 was for you with your new job and all kinds of personal insights gained. I hope all is well and that you can share some of your wisdom to keep us revved for the new year.
Have a wonderful day everyone--
