Food


Darren pleasantly surprised me with breakfast in bed this morning before work. :-) I’m so grateful too, because if not for that I might still be in bed sleeping! I really, really didn’t want to get up and go to work this morning. Having the last four days off was just so splendid, like a mini-vacation. But alas, it’s back to reality today…and yes, I do have a case of the Mondays. ;-)

I loaded my new gym bag up with all my goodies (dumbbells, resistance bands, sneakers) and brought it to work with me today. I’d like to get in the routine of doing something on my lunch hour, whether it be doing the resistance bands, or just walking the stairs back and forth. Anything is better than nothing and if I want to win that fitness challenge I joined, I’d better really get my butt in gear. I’m also going to the gym tonight since I didn’t go this morning before work. I’m all fired up today, can you tell?

In other news, Marisa seems to have gotten a cold. She was so pitiful last night between her sniffles, sneezing, and hoarse voice, but she got up and went to school this morning. I hope she starts to feel better soon.

I’m gonna start doing research on gardening over the next couple of weeks. It’s something I’ve never done (never even had an interest in until now), but I’ve vowed to start one this year. I really hope I can do it because how cool would it be to just walk out back and pick some cucumbers when you need them? Or strawberries?

Well, I’d better go for now,

Today is New Year’s Eve and as such it’s only fitting for me to list some of the things I’d like to accomplish in the year to come.

  • Lose 93 more pounds.
  • Walk 500 miles (logging it here)
  • Finish the C25K program
  • Start riding my bike
  • Not drink ANY soda
  • Participate in (12) 5k races for the year (hopefully running at least one)
  • Start a garden
  • Sign up for karate (or another martial art if karate not available)
  • Stay within my budget every month (using YNAB)
  • Organize family reunion
  • Read the entire Bible using this plan.

2009 was a trying year, so I’m excited for everything the new year will bring.

Until tomorrow…
