Updated pics!

I've updated our Shutterfly picture site! I was so far behind that I just now uploaded all of our October pics! You can get to them by the link on the bottom right hand side of my blog. I'll try to get November up soon. Could December's pics be far behind!?!? If it won't let you in, leave me a note in the comments and I'll see what I can do to fix it. Enjoy!!

Yoga

That's all I have to say. Okay, its really not all I have to say but it is a great place to start.

We've kicked back in with the Tony Horton 10 Minute Trainer DVDs. The past few days have been all about cardio which is nice. But today was yoga and I love the way I feel after yoga! Now that's all I have to say!

Diet and Exercise

So the resolutions have started and believe it or not, so far, I have stuck with them! I have started the diet again and have kicked the exercise program into gear. I'm not going to mention my starting weight here because that is just crazy! However, I'm down 3 pounds people!!

I'm doing my 365 days of pics. No real exciting ones as of yet, but its all about keeping the discipline of doing it. I'm not sure yet if I'm going to post each day but we'll see. Of course it does still count when I took pics on New Year's Day and the card wasn't in my camera, right?!!? Yes, I did that!! I'm not gonna lie. Very embarrassing but true. I got a new digital photo frame for Christmas and had put my card in there to enjoy all my Christmas pics and there it stayed when I went to my parents to do New Year's and a late Hanukkah. So those are all mental pics.

As to the scrapping, I've been working on cleaning up my scrap room so I could get in there and scrap. Does that count? With all the "holiday projects" the girls have had, and all the scrap supply borrowing they did, my room is in shambles. So clean up and then scrap, scrap, scrap.

As to the barn resolution? Give me some sun people!! It's been raining so much here that I'm convinced God is trying to resolve the drought this winter. I'm okay with that because it will be wonderful when the summer gets here and we actually have a lake in the back. But, its made it hard to get up to the barn. I'm hoping that now that the girls are back in school we may have at least one or two days of sunshine so I can get up there. I'm gonna keep that one too!!

Hope you all are sticking to your resolutions too!

From us to you....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Elf pics will continue until I've done every day (per Hayden's instructions) so Christmas music will continue until then as well!! Tomorrow I start my resolutions. Tomorrow I start my 365 days of pictures. Tomorrow I start a new year. May it be a wonderful, joyous year for all of us!!

Time for Resolutions!!

Alas and alack; Christmas is over. We had a great holiday! Everybody got everything they wanted and then some. The elves have returned to the North Pole, the gift wrap has been cleaned up, half of the dog presents have already been destroyed. Now its on to resolutions. I've been thinking hard and have a few that I really hope to be able to stick to. Do you think if I post them here it will make it harder to break them? ;-) Here they are in no particular order.

1) Back on the diet people!! This is the one I most want to keep! No cheating, no sweets, no "I'll just have a bite" or "just this one time". This also means back to being consistent with exercising. No more excuses, no more "I'm tired!" because frankly I'm "tired" of looking like I'm sliding down the hill into 40 face first!!"

2) Back into the scrap room. I have this great scrap room that my husband put together for me. I have great supplies that are just waiting there for me. And I have tons and tons and TONS of pictures that are waiting to be scrapped and placed into scrapbooks. I keep finding reasons not to get in there and get going, but I'm resolving to get back into it!

3) 365 days of pictures. Okay I know I mentioned that I have tons waiting to be scrapped, but I want to challenge myself to take a picture a day. It doesn't have to be of the girls (how tired of that would they be?) but of anything. I think this will be most difficult on days that I work. Who knows maybe you'll see a lot of me napping, or getting ready to nap or getting up from a nap. We'll have to see because of course I'll post them. So I guess that would be another resolution: keep up the blog!

4) Back to the barn! I've missed Thunder, Gypsy, Ari and Ginger sooooo much!!! There is always something that keeps me from getting out there. I tried marking Tuesdays as my riding days in my calendar, but then the weather conspired against me! I will get back to riding once a week this year. I have to do it, I need to do it, I will do it.

Okay, so that's all I have so far. Only 4. That should be easy. Right? Yeah, right.

Merry Christmas to All!

As I sit here surrounded by my family and thankful for all the love that I have in my life, I'd like to take a moment to say that I hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas! And now, I'm going to spend more time with the 3 loves of my life. Well, 5 if you include the dogs. Although I must admit, Santa did bring a little something for the cat too.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

It's Official!!

Christmas may now come because I'm ready!! WHOO HOO!!! We've seen Santa, I've bought all the gifts, the house is decorated and I'm off until Christmas night! YEAH!! Of course I still have to wrap the gifts and get a stocking for Gracie (yes, it looks like Gracie will be staying with us through the Christmas holidays and, well, I guess indefinitely) and have cookie making day tomorrow. But other than those things I'm done! I can now relax and enjoy the Christmas season and my kids' Christmas break. Now if they'd only stop fighting long enough to let me enjoy it!
