Just a quick post to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season.  I know how easy it is to fall off of the wagon at this time of the year.  I admit that I’m not doing so good with my diet, but I have done worse in the past.  I will return to diet and exercise soon.  I am just so grateful for all that I have and for my family and friends.  I have had a great Christmas and hope you all have too.  I’m really looking forward to the new year and to working and accomplishing my goals.  I want to thank everyone for the support I have recieved here this year.  Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!!!

It’s been a while since my last post but there has been a lot going on.  I am engaged!  We have been together now for over 12 years and have been talking about getting married but I got a beautiful ring last Friday and I am so excited!  I know we probably won’t have a big wedding or anything but I am now even more motivated to reach my goal.  I want to be cute in my pictures, lol.  So this week I have renewed my focus.

Work is still crazy and I am trying to manage my stress better.  I even interviewed for a new job this week that I would love to get.  I’m not sure how it’s going to go, but I have made up my mind if I don’t get this one I will try again.  I really want something with better hours and less stress.  Yesterday I braved the cold and rain and shopped my little heart out trying to finish up shopping for Christmas, without luck.  But I did hit the grocery store and stocked up on loads of fruit and fresh veggies.  I even got some of the slimfast optima mix to make shakes.  (Has anyone else tried this, is it even worth it?)  I have planned all of my meals for the entire weekend as I will be working.  I will try the shakes for breakfast, fruit for snacks, and have made chicken salad for sandwiches.  I am also gonna load up on water.  I have had 4 bottles (20 oz) already today, I think.  I have already had my healthy dinner with a large salad and I’m done eating for the night.  Next will be to get my exercise back on track and survive the holidays.  If by chance I do get the new job, there will be no more 12 hour shifts which will allow me to join a gym.  This is something I have really been wanting to do, but could not justify the cost of joining the one near home as I would be very limited in how much I could actually go.  They close at 8pm, which is when I get home on the days I work and they have limited weekend hours. 

I am so very excited with all of the things that have been going on in the last week and I am very optimistic about the future.  I even got to enjoy snow today.  I live in Louisiana and we don’t get to see that very often, but the yard was very pretty this morning with all the white, of course it had all melted by lunch, but it was still great to have some snow. 

Hope everyone is having a great and healthy week!
