Happy New Year's Eve!

Time to get out my journal and put the finishing touches on next year's plan. It sure feels funny to not be doing Jazzercise and I'm a bit nervous about losing ground. But last night I did LB weights and a walk with the dogs. Tonight I'm trying out a couple new videos I bought over the weekend. One is an old yoga workout that I love but the tape wore out and I couldn't find it again for the longest time. Lucky me I found it on DVD with a bonus second workout included. Very happy me. The other one is kind of silly, but it's a Bellydancing video. I watched it the other night and well, I'm not so sure I can do all that stuff, but I can modify and try. The video is a little artsy for my taste and you have to watch carefully to find the bits where it's actually instructional but I got the gist of it. I'll have to let you know how it goes...LoL.

I'm with Phyllis and Nancy. This is the best bunch of friends I've ever had. I'm thankful to know you all and hope to get to meet you all. I probably won't be joining you in October. Money has been super tight and we're just keeping our heads above water at the moment. But maybe I'll hit the Lotto or something. Hrmmm...might have to buy a ticket first...

Anyway, you're all the best and next year will be FABULOUS!

Whoa it's Wednesday is right! I can not believe how quickly the time has flown since Thanksgiving! I'm so far behind...still!

No workout today, although I really should for my mental health's sake. I'll be heading out soon to powerwalk thru Kohl's. This afternoon, sometime, we head to Roanoke. We'll be back Saturday.

Happy New Year!

Sassy

Good Morning and A Happy New Year's Eve!

I do believe I'm back amongst the living this morning! I can't say that I've been sick-just really haven't been feeling right-and I've been doing a LOT of sleeping! Getting through the work day yesterday without a nap was a real challenge! But it was up and at it this morning with a 30 minute 2+ mile walk on the treadmill.

Work today will be until 1:30. I have to get to the grocery store. I've spent so much time shopping for holiday meals that essentials and good foods have definitely been on the back burner. Time to get out there and restock on fresh fruits and vegetables. No plans for New Years. It will probably be the race to see which one of us falls asleep first-I usually win! Younger dd is away visiting her BF in Massachusetts, oldest will be in NYC at a friend's apartment and DS has plans and decided to stay over at the friends' house rather than driving home in the wee hours which suits me just fine.

Just want to add to the others that this group of women are the best. Your friendship, support and encouragement have added so much to my life! My best wishes to all of you Fit and Fabulous women and your families for a Healthy and Happy New Year!

And I'm so looking forward to our meeting in October '04!

Good morning gang!Is it weally wednesday already??And another year has just about gone by?Do you get excited when you think about the new year?Do you get anxious wondering what it holds.One friend says she always thinks of it as waiting for the other shoe to drop.Couldn't help but think that was a worriesome way to look at it.

Today my workout will be a run, no toning today.I may try to make it a long run to finish the year off right.Tomorrow I'll start the year off with a walk with my sister.I feel so much better since I've gotten back to my runs and away from the really bad eating.There are a dozen things in my life I can't control but how I take care of myself I can.I need to stay focused on the positive aspects of fitness.The reality of it is that it is work but the pay off is worth it.

Oh this group!!!!Where would I be without you all???My chicken from Lori and Phyllis sits proudly in my kitchen and everytime I go past him I smile.I have cards from some that I keep in my journal and take out to motivate, cheer me up, remind me that someone cares, whatever.Who else cares that I was almost hung by my bra or shot across the room by power panties?For what other group of people would I post up 43??Although I have to say I'm not sure that is working for me and I may go on back to 39.Without you guys I'd be on a couch every week paying somebody big bucks to tell me what I already know;that I've taken whining to a professional level,that I'm more than halfway crazy, that I'm not 39 or a real blonde and that chickens are not the way to fame and fortune.Some how I'd just rather hear it all from you guys.Cause in between you all tell me neat things about yourself, tell me things that make me crack up,cry , think, and love you all.You're an awesome group and I can't wait for October!!!

Have a weally wonderful wednesday!!!!

Miss P

Happy New Year's Eve!


This has been a roller coaster year for me, but all-in-all a good one with many things to be thankful for. Although he's not back to where he was a few years ago, the improvement in my father's health has been a tremendous blessing for us. I was reminded of the loss of my BIL yesterday when I saw his name listed in our paper as one of the local leaders lost this year. I think about him often and stay close to his mother (just drove her back downstate a few days ago). As long as our family is safe and healthy, I can deal with most other things. We added Winston (the mini Tazmanian devil) to our family, Andie B. is growing and thriving and is such a joy up in MD, and we'll be adding another great niece to the

Good morning, everyone!

Phyllis - I plan on doing a lot more laughing and chatting than running in Asheville in October! But I do agree with you about the camaraderie that we've developed among us. Who would've ever thought? As much as I sometimes resent the intrusion of technology in my life, "meeting" you wonderful women through the Internet is certainly an example of the best of what the Net can offer. I get into work every morning and check my e-mails (gotta do at least that first), then come right over here to see what's happening in your lives. It's been a blast getting to know you all, giving you support and cheers and sympathy, and taking it when needed.

OK - workout today - not likely. My little niece invited DH and me for an impromptu NYE celebration at their house, so how could we refuse? She's offering her Easy Bake Oven chocolate cake for dessert. Cute or what? After our Chinese food dinner, we'll head up there for some fun, stay until the kids fall asleep, wish everyone good cheer, and head home before those partying up on Amateur Night hit the roads. Hopefully be home by 11 and toast in the NY with Dick Clark. Or else stop off in Boston to see a little of First Night up close.

Goals for the NY? Resume polishing, job searching, reaching my goal weight, eating smart, sticking with fitness workouts. Just being a better version of me. Will I be the best I can be? Probably not, but I'm still a work in progress.

Have a great day, everyone!

Donna

Oh, I love the easy bake dessert get together.That is so cute!!!

And I really love what you posted at the end.A better version, a work in progress.I think that might finally nail down what I've been trying to put my finger on.Not trying to reinvent the wheel.Just trying to improve where I can and enjoy myself in the process.Good stuff, Donna!!!I feel like I should send you a check for a therapy break thru.....

Just call me Lucy, and make it for a nickel....

Isn't a work in progress all we are? We learn and we grow as we keep on trying. (Gee, think I sound like a Capricorn??), and that's when we're at our best - when we're keepin' on no matter what and finding some grain of good, or light, or knowledge, or peace at the end of the day.

If I could just remember that for the next 365 (or is it 366) days......
