Thanks for your help on getting rid of those darn chocolate covered cherries. I had the chance to regift them last night and they are now in the hands of someone who will appreciate them!!! And not in my belly, he he he...

Well guys and gals we survived another holiday season filled with treats, goodies and extra helpings. It is time to start thinking about new years resolutions. Here are mine:

-I resolve to exercise 5 days a week for 30 minutes each day.
-I resolve to dedicate 1 hour out of each 24 hour day to me time or alone time.
-I resolve to treat every person in my life with the utmost respect.

I have learned that I am still establishing my exercise habits and need to set a routine in place that allows no excuses. Sometimes I plan on exercising and then before I know it the whole day passes me by. I am also noticing that if I dont get my exercise in early in the morning, there always seems to be some other responsibility that takes presidence over exercise.

This year I noticed that there have been days or even weeks that have flown by where I have spent my time taking care of others and handling many responsibilities and I have not even 1 moment to myself. I realized that there are 24 hours in each day and it is my duty to take time for myself every day, as it will make me more stable and a heathier, happier person.

The last one is for those closest to me and my children. I have said many things to those I love this year that I regret and weigh heavy in my heart. These things were unintentional, but they slipped right out of my mouth. I have to relearn to think before I speak, especially to those closest to me.

Ok now on with the day.......

The good: I exercised yesterday and am going to exercise today. This is good news because it means that I am falling back into my daily exercise habit. I also still have my sights set on my next weight bench mark of 219. I think about getting to 219 lbs every day. I also decided to try the park farther away trick to see if I can burn a couple of extra cals when shopping.

The bad: I had a dirty Santa gift exchange with my extended family last night and I got stuck with a box of trader joes chocolate covered cherries. I didn't read the details but it appears that there ate like 20 of them in there. 2 years ago I would have gladly accepted the box of chocolates and finished them off with a smile. But last night I said in front of everyone "oh my god I'm on a diet!" I am so irritated that I am stuck with these chocolates. I am trying to decide what to do with them. I wonder if I can return them to trader joes without a receipt?

My belly button shrunk!!! Who knew that weight loss caused one to have a smaller belly button? Anyhow, I am not getting my dedicated exercise in but I have walked the malls for the last 2 days (over 12,000 steps per day, I think that equals 6 miles of walking for each day). I need to get back to my dedicated exercise and martial arts. The holidays are a real speed bump as my time is filled with other responsibilities. I will start my dedicated exercise back up after Christmas.

I am back on board with exercising ( Have been MIA on the exercise for almost 2 weeks). I have exercised 3 days in a row. I tell ya it is easy to stop exercising and keep making daily excuses not to do it. But once you start again you feel better and you know it.

I have alot going on today and it is going to be hard to fit in exercise, but I am going to do it. Even if it is just 30 mins.
