The holidays were wonderful. My boys were both on break from school, so they were here much of the time. We had some of our favorite holiday foods, watched movies, they played video games, relaxed and just enjoyed our time together!
My sweet husband, who rarely gets sick, has been home with the flu for 5 days now, and is still not well though he is improving. Nasty stuff! He never gets the flu shot. Has had no need to til now. I'm really glad I got mine. Even being around him 24/7, I only got very mild symptoms!
I started on a Biggest Loser type challenge with a group of friends. We weighed in last Saturday and photos were taken. I had no idea how fat I was. Lol! Yes, I have a mirror, but I've been avoiding mirrors and cameras like they were life threatening. The photos and the scale do not lie. I'm fat! I don't know why I'm laughing about it, but I refuse to cry. I've revamped my diet, adding a lot more fruit and veg. and fewer carbs. I've started an exercise plan that works for me, and I'm actually not hurting as much as before. I am feeling some long-lost muscles though, and they're telling me a tale of severe neglect! Short term goal is to lose 30 lbs by March 30th, our final weigh-in. That's a nice, respectable amount which should be easy to accomplish.
As I'm typing, I'm listening to my new Bonnie Raitt CD, Slipstream! Love it! I am filled with excitement about the coming year and all it holds in store! It's going to be amazing!

Welcome back! Glad you had a nice holiday season. Too bad your husband has been sick! He needs to get the flu shot from now on. Poor guy.
I hear you on the weight loss. I am struggling something awful here. I wish you the best!
Hello to my two Donna's! Husband improving slowly. I'm only on week one of diet and already struggling. I guess I spoiled myself too much over the holidays. Oh well, one pound at a time! :)
