An Update...

I'm not doing the best at keeping this blog updated, but I have been busy! I'm back in the gym, watching what I eat, and knitting away! I have taken about a day and a half vacation from being religious about it. But, I'm up and at 'em tomorrow bright and early! I have a fun day ahead - gym, weigh in, lunch, and children's museum. I'm really looking forward to it!

Think it is about time to start working on another item on the giant list. I need to get myself in gear on this!

Oops!!!! New Plan: Starting A New Blog

I have been super bad (LAME) about keeping up with this blog! I'm going to promise to do better! I have been working hard at coming up with a list of goals for 2010 - I think I have come to conclude that I'm just going to make my goal for 2010 to keep up with this massive to do list! First off, weight continues to be a giant struggle for me. I feel off of the WW bandwagon awhile back, but now I'm back on it. I am finding it somewhat difficult to get back in the routine of counting points, but I am excited to be back in the mood to do something about this little problem (ok BIG problem) of mine. Getting back in the mood for this is a huge accomplishment in and of itself it seems to me anymore. I have also started getting back to the gym - and, with a purpose this time. I feel like I have direction for once. That is partly due to the new personal trainer I have hired. Well, my mom hired. We are doing this together, again :) I am happy to report that I have started knitting. I am absolutely in love! I will be sharing some projects throughout this new hobby of mine. Have a look at what I have already done! I found this list the other day that I'm going to be working from to really examine myself this year. So here goes: Question 1: What would you like to be your biggest triumph in 2010? I think I'm going to go with two different answers. I want to get my weight and my finances in order. That would go a long way toward helping my self esteem!

After some thought, I have decided to trash my old blog and start a new one! Here is my first post in my new blog!!!
