Hey guys. Christmas was wonderful. I was in a fog when I posted yesterday, rushing to get ready for my parents' house, that I forgot to tell you about the morning. The boys came in our bedroom at 5 a.m. That's right, 5 a.m., lol. They had gone downstairs first to check things out and saw that Santa had left them each a pile of presents, plus a small pile for them to share. In the small pile was a Legendary Yoda and on him was a note, "For both of you, I am." They came running up the stairs to tell us all about it and wanted to open their presents right there and then. We made them wait until the sun began to rise, which was around 6:30. I tried to get them to go back to sleep, but they were not having it, lol. Anyway, we watched them open their presents and the joy and excitement on their faces were priceless, even at the crack of dawn, lol. My older DS is ten and he has been questioning the reality of Santa Claus, but he still believes. This was his last Christmas believing. I know next year he won't. . . he will be in middle school. I will have to tell him if he doesn't figure it out. I treasured the "magic" this year for him. My younger guy was thrilled. It was a great morning. Going to my parents' house was good too. We had a good time. My mom was in good spirits. I had bought her a pair of comfy slip on ankle boots, that look similar to uggs. She loved them.
I weighed myself this morning to torment myself. I am not happy. I know I should not be hard on myself. The truth is my workouts have been sporadic and my diet has been whatever is convenient and really, I have had no self control. I am starting a rotation tomorrow. I am looking to do the Xtrain cardio and weights 30 day rotation. Now those workouts are longer, but I figure I can commit for one month, especially since I am off the first week of the rotation if I start it tomorrow. Then I have three weeks before the cruise. I might do an intense three week rotation that I create myself. After the cruise, I might buy Hammer and Chisel. I am still on the fence, lol.
Cookie- I am sorry to hear about DS. I hope he feels better soon. I am definitely in it for the long haul. I usually use my workout time as a way to relieve stress, but the last few months I think I allowed my stress to "Talk me out of" working out. I would tell myself I was too tired. That needs to change.
Deb- I just have a cold at this point. I definitely think it is a combination of not eating healthy and then stress and the strange weather, lol. I am not complaining though. I am with you. . . any time I do not have to turn on my heat, we are good, lol.
Belinda- I thought about you Christmas Eve, decorating your tree, as is your tradition. I was sitting in the living room admiring our tree and it hit me that you were probably decorating yours. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas.
BB Later with personals. I am thinking of doing a metabolic workout today. . . Supercuts perhaps.
