Sit back reflect and move forward in this new coming year. Let all of the bad be left in the past and move on to new and better things this year of 2008. That is what I am going to do. Here is a list of some of my New Years Resolution:
Stay more connected with my friends and family
See my mom more often this year. I miss her and love her some much. She is like my best friend, sister and mother all in one and you only have a lifetime to enjoy the time God has given us to make more memories to remember for a lifetime.
Take more family trips and vacations.
Go on more date with my husband
Get down to 150 pounds and get lean before May 2008
Get my personal trainer certificate and nutrition and wellness cert.
Read more and much, much more. . .
I hope that you all have a wonderful evening ringing in this new Year and I can’t wait to see what new things develops with your all in this new Year.
Have you ever found yourself wondering or thinking about some of your friends you used to hang out with or dated back in High School? Of course there are some of these people that you really connected with and still keep in contact now, but what about that person that was the most popular cheerleader, quarterback or class president?
Sometimes I wonder how some of my old friends are doing and what they have turned out to be now. And there are times that I would love to get in contact with and see how life is treating them and see what things they have accomplished along with sharing my personal accomplishments too.
Did you know that you can locate your old high school classmate for free through various online sites? The most popular sites are Classmates.com and Reunion.com. Both sites offer free services to locate old friends, loved ones and any body from the past that you are trying to catch up with.
Now, I signed up for both Reunion and Classmates because I found friends that were registered on one but not the other. I have also had fellow classmate use this site to coordinate our 10 year class reunion back in 2004. If you are longing to play catch up with that special person that has made a impression on you check Reunion and Classmates and see what you come up with.

Ahhh. It feels so good to be on track for the 3rd day!! I just finished my 30 minutes of Step aerobics with Cathe and 15 minutes of weights on my biceps and shoulders. Today I ate very well considering I went to lunch with my family at TGI Fridays. Guess what I ate there. Just a low calorie salad with chicken. I am so proud that I did not cave in and have a Jack Daniels Hamburger with fries like my hubby had. It sure looked and smell good, but not good for my thighs and waist.
I feel the water retention leaving and soon leaning will appear. Tomorrow I feel that i will take a day off from my workout and and just do 20-25 minutes of my elliptical before I go into work at noon. I am so glad that I decided to start now inside of waiting until after the new year. I feel that I have a had start on things and that I am making a good habit to carry into 2008.
Well, I am going to go veg out on the net and browse at things I would like to get for next year. My wishes are:
A new car or suv. What I am thinking is a Nissan Ultima or a Dodge Nitro. I am very torn because I already have a SUV and it would be nice to have a sleek and sporty sedan. My Montero Sport is a 2000 and it is starting to bit the dust.
A real Louis Vuitton handbag from Saks or Louis Vuitton Store. The bag I have in mind is the Monogram Canvas Beverly MM or Tivoli PM. They are really expensive, but hey a girl can dream and if it comes true I will be the first to post a pic ASAP!
A trip to Disney World with the family. Which is actually going to happened next summer/fall. I can’t wait!!
Louis Vuitton Sunglasses. I guess I really love this brand. I know you are thinking I am nuts!! But oh well, lol.
Hey all if you are looking for new workouts for the new year you have got to try this!! It’s Billy Blanks’ Tae Bo Amped. I am about to do this workout in a few seconds. I love this workout because I am getting a great cardio workout and at the same time leaning my muscles too. I swear the first time I did the full throttle workout my upper body was sore as hell!! Check out this short clip for some new workout ideas.
Yesterday was my first day back to eating clean, exercise, and drinking plenty of H20 and it was a challenge. I made it through the day with one cheat if you even count it a cheat. Late last night i was hungry so I had a cheese stick and a half of orange. So, I am proud. I only got in 30 minutes on the elliptical so before I head into work I will do 30 minutes of Tae bo amped, 15 minutes of the elliptical and 15 minutes of weights on my lower body. That area really needs the work because that is where I pack on the pounds first, the butt and thighs.
Today my body is feeling a bit better with getting back on track because prior I was feeling chunky and weighed down. I guess eating too much of a good thing can be bad too. Well, I am off to play with my son and workout these darn legs. I hope that you all have a great day today and I will chat later!
I had a great Christmas this year!! The joy seeing the excited of our son open his gifts and seeing Santa and playing so hard with all of the new goodies from us and relatives. I am so excited to report that I did get the iPod nano 8GB, Silver for Christmas and my hubby downloaded my favorites songs to it so that I can have 45 minutes of workout music. If you have an mp3 player what songs do you listen to? I have the following loaded, some new and some old.

How am I feeling after the holidays? Very Beefy and FAT!! lol I hopped on the scale for the truth and the scale is way up. Yikes!! I am not panicking, but I thought I was going to wait until Jan 1st to start my plan and workouts, but not anymore!! My scale is at a whopping 170!! I know it is a lot of water retention from TOM, and eating a lot of food high in sugar and sodium, so I will not stress too much. But I figure way wait? I have all of my health foods and supplements ready to drop fat and get lean. Thursdays willnow become my new weigh in day every week and I will post how I am doing moving towards my goal of 160 and then 150.
So with that said I am going to get ready to eat my second meal of the day with will be turkey breast, greens and a orange and gulp down that water and get moving on that elliptical. Later today I will be posting my New Years resolutions. Have you thought about yours yet? If so, what are they? I you haven’t go ahead and think about and be realistic too.
In the lieu of Christmas eve I just had to share this with you all. Tonight we will be reading this story to our Son like we have for the past few years. This is such a Classic and I love it!!
Hi everyone!! I am so excited that Christmas will be here in a couple more days. I haven’t been eating on plan as much and I will not stress about it. New Years day it is ON!! I just got Armie into bed and I just finished baking my Strawberry Cheese cake for my Christmas day dinner. The only thing I have to do tomorrow when I get home from retail hell is cook, my dressing, greens, and yams. Then after that DH, Armie and I will watch The Polar Express served with Hot Chocolate and Christmas cookies. Once that is over and we will get Armie to bed then DH and I will be getting the presents from the attic.
That’s right the attic. Our child is such a sneak that we had to hide the wrapped gifts in the attic. So, we will be placing them under the tree and getting all of the candy out for Christmas morning late, late Christmas eve. Phew!! I am tired thinking about it! On Christmas day I will be baking my Turkey and ham and getting stuff together before family arrives for dinner.
I just had to post of pic of our Christmas tree too. I think I did a okay job decorating it with the family, my dinning room and I also decorated the mantle as well. What ya think?
On Christmas eve we will have Armie place a plate of cookies and milk for Santa to eat. He is too cute! Today he looked up into the fireplace and said, “Santa will be coming right here”! Isn’t that funny? I told him that’s right!
Well, all in all I hope that you all are ready to have a safe and Merry Christmas and I will chat with you all later!
