An old Look Revisited

I love stockings with a design down the back.  I really need to re-invest in some.  I am going to go for this style, any thougts of where to buy?  I haven't been shopping like normal, this is my sad face :(  I miss it! Ha!

This weekend I am babysitting from my friends Amy and Jeremy!  I am very excited, oh their little guy, he is adorable and we will have fun I am sure.   I am glad I was available to help out!   And their Mia, and My Maggie, both Bostons, will also be having a play date during this time.  A friendship I am sure will last a lifetime! Ha!  Then I am just going to rest and get ready for the start of another week at work!  A go-live is planned next week, so it’ll be a big big busy week!  Bring It, I am ready! Ha!  

While I hate to rush time, the year is flying.  And I am so sorry but I have to say I cannot wait until March, when not only do we get to go away, but I can finally see my husband.  Wow, I miss him so much.  December spoiled us, and this time apart will be almost 3 months, this is the longest we have gone in a long time!  Let’s go March, you’ll be here before I know it! Love it!

New in the New Year:2011

Let me say yum, this week I tried a new recipe!   First I made an angel food cake, which was a first for me! Ha!  Not as difficult as anticipated.  Those egg whites, rough!  Then I made an icing for it using FF whipped cream and pineapples.  Delish!  At least I like it!  And the best part very low in fat!  So this was my super bowl party bring a dish to share!  Anyway most of it was eaten, so I can only assume others liked it to!  A new favorite for me!   Tried anything new lately yourself?

WV, wild & wonderful!

I have been wrapping my head around doing a mini-triathlon this summer in Morgantown, WV with some girl-friends!  I think it would be fun and really I just have to train for the swim piece.  And being a mini-triathlon, it is the best start!  Ha! 

I have this new passion to just get out there and do all these different things, visit new places, try new things, indulge in Life almost.  I have no idea where it came from, it just is there and I love it!  For the first time really I am just trying to be healthy altogether, not just the weight stuff, but heart health and eating right all the time, a true lifestyle change that lasts forever.  Although I will say it now, I will not totally foreclose on Peanut Butter Pie or other various types of sweets, I enjoy them too much! Ha!  But now just in moderation will be best.  Truly a guilty pleasure!

Back to the Race, I am still considering but I think my answer is yes to go!  It will be a great time and I will just love to do something different that I have never done before!  Do I hear a New in the New Year post! HA! 

Patience, A Virtue...

As I anxiously await my follow-up appointment tomorrow with my orthopedic doctor, I am frustrated at the slow progress I feel like this stress fracture is making. Arrgh!  Still pain with jumping jacks an high knee kicks and such.  I just want to run, is that too much to ask?  Really? God, are you trying to tell me something?

 I have been learning so much about being patient and it is so evident that there is a lesson to be learned here!  Ha!  Obviously, the only thing I have learned is that it is not my forte! I am a here and now gal! But, with that being said, I think it will be best learned now rather than later, so in all my patience obsession, I am trying to maintain calm!  

New in the New Year: 2011

Hmmm, whats new this week?  A more quiet week, but still room for something new! Ha! Boxing!  I have added boxing to my workout routine, Love it!  I have been using the Wii active boxing and also just doing general boxing moves in our basement( which is out workout room currently, until the husband returns home, Ha).  I do about 15-20 minutes every other day, but it is quite the workout.  It's fun, constant cardio, and I am seeing results which is all that matters!  Well I have changed many things since I haven't been able to run that have led to my results, so here I go boxing and strength, cardio, & abs to cut this gut! Ha! Maybe you'll give it a try, warning though, its addicting...



Snow Days

Okay, so I am feeling totally spoiled by getting to work from home due to snow/ice 3 weeks in a row on my non-work from home day!  I am so thankful to have the opportunity to work from home.  I can drive in the snow if I need too, but I hate it! The mess, the craziness, the sliding, yuck! 

There are so many benefits from working at home.  Let's see, first I can multitask and get other things done like laundry. Next, it is a great way to get away from your desk.  When I am home I can get up and step outside easily, or just do something other than work for a few minutes.  At the office you can make a loop but then you just end up back at your desk.  Last, just not having to make the hour drive to and from work, brutal! There is so much more, it is so refreshing!  Love it!  Thankful for it!
