Big changes for 2009

So I'm back. I've been watching what I eat all along, but now I need to formalize it a bit more. We have big changes coming up this year, and I am so stoked!

1. We are moving!!! Mike and I had a long talk right before Christmas, and the house is going up for sale in Feb. So I am packing up all the crap in this house to make it look bigger so we can sell. And believe me, there is a lot of crap in this house. We are storing it off-site so we can pretend that this house has lots of room.

2. I will be finishing off school! My course ends in August, and I will be doing accounting stuff. While packing, the only thing I can't pack up are those books! This is not a big change, but still is a big enough deal to mention.

3. My gym SHOULD be opening in January. Will it? Not quite sure. Will we still be there? Again, not sure. I wanted them to waive the 1yr condition on the contract as we are MOVING!!! to where? Not sure, and it may not be an issue, but I wanted to security of being able to back out once we find a house. They won't, so Mike is pissed off. They have a great kids program, so not quite sure. But if not, I still have other options. The only good thing is the longer it takes them to open, the less likely I'm going to breach a contract, if I know where I am moving. KWIM? They were supposed to be open in Mar 2008. Little behind schedule. Just a bit.

4. Get back into the shape I was in until 2008 hit. We had a bad year last year, with people who should not have died dying suddenly. It hit me really hard, and I lost control over eating. My own fault, I admit. But it's time to get that fixed.

Hey Ann, I'm right there with you. Lots of changes last year resulted in a not so great looking belly right now. Went back to work after being a SAHM for 6 years, and found it challenging to eat right and exercise within new time restrictions. But DH is on board, we're headed to St. Thomas for our 10 year anniversary in June and I'll be da*!ed if I'll wear a tankini on this body. So I've converted the old nursery into an exercise room with treadmill, tv & exercise tapes/DVDs. Hubby just needs to snake a cable through the floor so I can get TV. We're-re-reading the South Beach book and clearing out all the junk this weekend. Go Team!! :-)

Well, I'm back as of Monday now. I can't eat anything solid with my sinus infection, am surviving off of chicken soup and water right now. By Monday I should be able to eat again. I can't do ANY WOE when I feel like this. So we'll start officially on Mon. Yesterday's food choices didn't happen other then breakfast, could not chew.

I hate being sick!!!
