Yoga

I bought myself two pair of yoga pants for Christmas.  They're so relaxing.  Now I have to get off my duff and actually use them for what they are intended for - exercising. Maybe I better wait until I have some yoga socks to go with them. Ha ha.

 Exercise and healthy eating starts after the holidays are over. I briefly thought about starting the food changes before Christmas but why deny myself everything good and fattening and sugary during the holidays?

Exercise - AFTER the New Year.

Less Stress - Disengaging Stepmom

Another step to good health - disengaging from my adult stepchild.  I will not be disrespected repeatedly.  Do it once - shame on you.  Do it again, shame on me.

Less stress!

Don't Weld the Ex's Presents Together

Five days until Christmas.  Is everybody ready?  I just reminded myself that I haven't taken care of Christmas dinner yet - oops.  Better do that after I get done playing on the computer.

I was even nice to my husband's ex this year and bought her a present. Not that she deserves it after her behavior but we model appropriate behavior for all of the kids anyway. I thought about getting some welding equipment from smith equipment and welding all her gifts together into one big pile of expensive, specialty chocolate goo, but I didn't.  See, I'm being nice!

Hope everybody has a Blessed Yule and Merry Christmas!

Need to Lose Weight Again

Well, the six months of my doctor lowering my dose (resulting in hypo symptoms) and then giving my correct dose back to me (the memory issues from his lowering my dose is affecting my memory to actually TAKE the corrected dose, ugh), has taken its toll.  I have about ten pounds I need to lose.  Again.

I am starting to feel a little better - more energy so that's a good sign.  I actually felt like cleaning my house yesterday.  My hair also isn't falling out like it was - another good sign.  Can't stand that "love handle" look though!!  My skin - eh.  Needs help too.

My sexy new brown heeled boots just arrived today.  I am going to have to get back on my 17 Day Diet (awesome diet if you didn't see my previous posts about it - not a diet, a healthy way of eating that just knocks the pounds off - see this post) so I can wear those heels the way they were meant to be worn!
