Hi Kids!

It's me again!

And you know what?

It's FREAKING COLD!
Currently, it is sitting at a bone chilling, numb 1* F.

In Southwest Missouri!

Alaska and Oslo, Norway and even Antarctica are warmer than we are!
What's that about, anyway? Good grief!

Saturday & Sunday we had the most beautiful fluffy snowfall. We got about 4-6". They were expecting 1-2"! HA! We are expecting more to come tomorrow. Well, at least there is a 50% chance. Which, for around here, pretty much means it's very likely.

I love the snow. I just don't love to drive in it. And with crappy ass tires like mine, it makes for a white-knuckled drive. New tires are in the works.

I've become more active on SparkPeople.com and even bought The Spark, by Chris Downie, founder of SparkPeople. So far, I am loving it. I also joined a challenge called, Spark Your Body Bootcamp. I'm excited about it. Unfortunately, the last two days didn't hold any workouts, for one reason or another. One being this piece of crap computer I'm on and the room it is in. I am trying to get the videos loaded onto my iPod so I can at least be mobile with it. This has proven to be a very time consuming task with this crappy computer. I miss my Mac, terribly.

Anywho. I will just have to make up the minutes and the workout. By next week, I should have everything loaded onto my iPod and hopefully a DVD made of all the workouts so that I can do them in my living room. That would rock my face off.

So far, I have stayed within my calorie range the last couple days. I am still trying to keep the fat grams under control. I did pretty well yesterday, or so I thought. I had forgotten to log my sandwich. Poop. It's HARD! Stupid fat. I hate you. :)

So pretty much, I am consumed with changing it up and eating right and less, working on moving more, etc. I really feel like I am going to do it this year. I'm really not giving myself the option to do otherwise. But I also won't beat myself up over it, either.

I'm looking forward to warmer weather so I can walk again. I totally miss that. It was my favorite. I had just gotten to a point where I would jog most of the time. It was cool. I know I will get there again. :)

I can DO this!

Happy New Year!

To all of my favorite people...

May the New Year bring so many blessings that they make your head spin!

2010 is the Year of the Tiger. I was born in the Year of the Tiger, so this is MY year!

Bring it ON, 2010!

Whippy Cakes & Leelou!

I tried posting her button, but it doesn't seem to be showing up so well... Hrm...

I've Been a Baaaad Blogger.

I am going to try to make more of an effort to post at least once a week. I have also decided to get more involved in Spark People. com. I have decided that being fat is not an option.

Blogging has always been therapeutic. I need more therapy. :) Plus, I miss you guys! I miss all of the creative energy that flows through this place! I miss the friendships. The laughter. All of it!

So.... my goals for 2010 are as follows....

Blog more.
Create more.
Eat less. Move more.
SparkPeople.com more.
Sell more Avon. :)

Simple enough, no? I think those are manageable and attainable goals. No limits set.
Just, DO more.

My posts may not be very long, or very deep, but they will be more frequent. :)

I hope you all had a very Merry & Blessed Christmas and that 2010 holds so many blessings that you don't know what to do with them all!

For my Twin!

My name is Deirdre and I love my Beth. Thanks. Merry Christmas!!!
