Update on My New Year's Resolution

Well, so far so good. I have exercised every day this week but Tuesday. I got my ChaLEAN Extreme DVD program but it looks HARD. I am going to stick the first DVD in and just watch it to see if it is something I think I can do at this point! Foodwise, I have done pretty darn good, not perfect but definitely a major improvement over my normal eating habits!

My Very Messy Craft Room


Most who know me from stamping knows I don't show off my craft room. Why? Because it is always a MESS. I am generally a messy person. Clean, mind you. Just messy. Some of you Type A people may not think there is a difference. Well, you are wrong...there is a very big difference. You non-Type A people know exactly what I am talking about. So here is a before and after picture of my craft room. Now, I must clarify, the "before" picture was right after the Christmas Gift Class I had so everything kind of got dumped in there afterward. It isn't usually quite THAT messy. Of course this "after" pic was taken immediately after I cleaned it all up and it now looks much more similar to the "before" picture. I really do wish I was more organized. I know I would enjoy my craft room MUCH more if it weren't always so messy that I can barely even use it to actually stamp.

New Year's Resolution

Well, like most, my new year's resolution is to LOSE WEIGHT (again). So far, I am extremely proud of myself. I have exercised for the last 5 days straight (4 of which at 5 AM, yes AM). I have also ate only healthy foods. Guess what, I have lost 6 pounds this week! Woohoo! For all you skinny people who may not know, fat people can lose weight at a faster pace than normal. After a little while, the pace will definitely slow down. I guess it is your body's way of saying, Thank God, we can get rid of this excess....lets do it quick before she goes back to her bad habits! I like exercise videos because I do not like to be out in the elements...meaning I don't like to exercise a)outside in the hot and/or cold and b) I don't like for other people to see me exercise. When I was skinny, I loved to go to Aerofit for step aerobics. No more...it all happens inside my own home baby! I can't wait until next week because I ordered a new set of exercise videos. If you have ever heard of Chalene Johnson and/or Turbo Jam, then you may have heard of her new workouts, ChaLEAN Extreme. It focuses on strength training but is supposed to also burn fat too. I will let you know how I like it. I have to admit I was surprised at the price tag ($120) so it better be good and it better work!

Jeffery and Ginger


Here is Jeffery with my baby girl, Ginger. :)

Jeffery and his VERY SAD Snowman


Jeffery liked the idea of making a snowman but after about 5 minutes he got too cold and called it quits. I informed him that this was not a snowman...it is a snow lump or at the most a snow ghost :)

Snow Snow Snow!!!


Like everyone else in BCS, we really enjoyed the snow we had a few weeks ago. Here is a pic of our house. Everyone says I should use it for our Christmas cards next year.

I knew it...

I knew I wouldn't keep this blog thing up to date! When I get home the last thing I want to do is get back on the computer! I guess I will have to use my lunch hour to update it. I meant to update my blog over the holidays but again, I really didn't feel like sitting at the computer much. I will try to do better!
