Back from our trip to TX. Let's just say that mindless eating, a lot of drinking, and a couple of cigars did NOT make for a healthy first few hours of this year. Actually, the first few days of the year included a lot of unhealthy food choices. This time last year, I would have said, "It was worth it -- it all tasted good!" Now, however, I know that nothing tastes as good as being healthy feels. (I know the quote is thin, but this is more about being healthy for me!) My worst choice? An avocado, stuffed with fajita chicken and melted cheese, breaded and fried.
I haven't been able to rejoin WW online yet, and I know that's my biggest obstacle right now. I need that accountability back. I tried a widget for my Apple that is similar, but I can't get into it with the ease that WW online provides.
Today begins a 30 Day Shred contest with some Coastie wives. I'm doing it come hell or high water. The hubby will be going on patrol soon, and I'm going to do this even with him gone. I want him to get back and really admire my arms and, well, everything. ;) The contest will have a winner with most inches lost, and a winner that completed the workout all 30 days. I'm going to check in here when I've completed my daily workout. I think I might start doing it during the day while Chase is at school, and see if my energy is better. We'll see...
Closing today with a picture of me and my sisters...
I came a long way in 2008, but have a ways to go still in 2009!

Happy New Year to you!!
I think healthy is all we really should ask for anyway. Being thin is no good if you're not getting there in a healthy way. You owe it to yourself and your family to be healthy, no matter what the scale says. But, you have come a long way in 2008. Maybe more emotionally than anything, but I think that's the true first step to physical change. You have the motivation now, I promise you'll get to your goals this year!! Love you!
