Monday, Dec. 29

Out the door early today for work. Had to be at a meeting at 8:30 and it takes me 2 hours to get there. My rooster alarm worked quite well! Meeting was okay, had lunch at Panera, big enough sandwich that I can eat the rest tomorrow for lunch. Going to dinner with my SIL and her kids tomorrow night. She got us all gift cards for a restaurant so we are all going together. DH is happy cause the Ravens and Eagles won! Hooray, on to the playoffs. It would be so cool of Philly could win the Super Bowl, too after my Phils winning the World Series! The city would go crazy!!! Hope things get better with the economy, my nephew is laid off, I pray it won't be for long. I really do hope that Obama is a good President! I didn't vote for him, but I want him to be successful for the sake of our country and it's citizens.

It is so hard to believe that another year is all but over! Sometimes I think about things that happened years ago and it seems like they happened weeks ago! Where does the time go? Not too much exciting going on. I am really trying to get myself organized at work. I want to be proactive and really step up to be the best I can be at my job. I want to help the company to be successful. I want to be proud of the job I do, I want people to genuinly feel that I am an asset to the company. It won't be hard work, I will just need to think ahead and stay organized.

Watch "The Dark Knight" tonight. Very good, much darker than the other recent Batman movies. It makes me sad to watch Heath Ledger, I really liked him. I know some people can't get past him playing the part in "Brokeback Mountain", but to me he will always be Gabriel in "The Patriot". So sad.

Trying to get the house really cleaned up and keep it that way. I am tired of being embarrassed that someone will stop over unannounced and see my cluttered mess! No time like the present, think I will go organize something!

Getting ready for P90X

One of my goals is that when I have lost 28 pounds, I will start doing the P90X workouts. I bought the set of DVD's two years ago and was just too heavy and out of shape to do them. I tried, but it was too much for me to sustain. Now I am 6 pounds away from meeting my goal so I started looking at the program last night...specifically the eating plan. I did all the figuring and it came out that I should eat 2400 calories a day when doing the workout. I can't imagine that is correct, I am sure that with the job that I have...spending much of my time in a car or sitting in meetings, that will be too much. Right now I eat between 1300 and 1500 calories a day, burn around 1100 calories in my workouts and I lose 1-2 pounds a week. I wonder if that calculation is based on maintaining weight and building endurance and muscle....who knows? I will have to research it further. The other thing is that I don't know if I will do the P90X every day, or if I will do other workouts, li...

walk on a chilly morning

My DH called me at 8am to ask if I wanted to go for a walk when he got home from work. Sure, I said, trying to be cheery, even though he had awakened me from a strange dream. My plan was to get back on track with diet and exercise today, so that was great timing. I put on some jeans that were less than clean, pulled my hair back in a pony tail, slipped on a t-shirt and sweatshirt and waited for his arrival. Shortly after he got home, I was checking out Yoville (almost have enough coin to buy my Cape Cod) when DH made a disgusted noise...he was trying to put my shoes on. You see, my feet are big and so we get our shoes mixed up easily. Anyway, we got our walking shoes on and away we went. It was cold...32 degrees! It was good to get out and walk...I have had so many things going on the last couple weeks that I have really ignored good eating habits and exercise has only been hit or miss. We were walking under the railroad underpass (highline as they call it here) and spotted a tin...

New Year is here!!

So I didn't do as well as I would have liked in my 50/50 challenge...but all is not lost! I gained about 9 pounds back, but I didn't fall too far off the wagon...kept up with exercise..just ate too much. Things are going much better now that I am motivated by the start of the new year. I am proud of myself for getting back on track before gaining all the weight back...like I usually do! Welcome to 2011!
